Astral Bitch - "Haunting You"

We absolutely loved Astral Bitch's 2023 single "You've Got It Wrong," and have been waiting (somewhat) patiently for a follow up. The Boston band is finally back with "Haunting You." If you loved their previous single as much as we did, buckle up for this one. While the previous single reminded us of classic grunge, their new one is one of the best punk tracks of the year. It starts off with a feedback whine, and then just barrels forward into a burst that borders on thrash metal. It's this fantastic mixture of bands like L7, Motorhead, and The Gits. "Haunting You" also taps into the primal side of protopunk. After hearing this song, we're expecting huge things for Astral Bitch.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Sam Coren says of the band's latest single:

“Sometimes all it takes is one person to encourage you to stop compromising what you want just to survive. So many people give up on their dreams because they’re too afraid of failure to even try. You’ll never be able to take big scary risks and stop living in regret over what could have been if you can’t learn to trust yourself and the people who want to support you.”
