If It's Too Loud...

Hailing from Foligno, Italy, TIGER! SHIT! TIGER! TIGER! are an indie rock/post-punk band. The trio's latest single, "Glue," sounds a lot like Sonic Youth in the 1980's. It's a slow build track dripping with menace, and just waiting to erupt into pure chaos. The whining and droning guitar creates an intense feeling of anxiety, but is also oddly calming (if your brain is wired that way). It also has some shoegaze elements to it, as well of a hint of Explosions in the Sky. The song never quite erupts into the threatened explosion, but it still has a satisfying ending. "Glue" feels more like the Fall than the heat wave we're currently experiencing in New England, but we hope you don't mind a song out of season. You can listen to "Glue" below. Dissolve Here is due out in the Fall. For more on TIGER! SHIT! TIGER! TIGER!, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .

Their latest single, "Glue," is a perfectly fuzzed out track mixed with some of the poppiest hooks around in 2023. The song starts off with a wall of shoegaze style guitar, but as it goes on the harmony and melody starts coming out more and more. It includes some slacker vocals that end up being surprisingly catchy. "Glue" slowly seems to morph into different styles as it goes on that are barely noticeable. It's like Sharkswimmer found a way to cram My Bloody Valentine, The Lemonheads, Foo Fighters, and Nada Surf into one song, and they did it quite well. You can listen to "Glue" below. Serenity is due out October 3 on Really Rad Records. For more on Sharkswimmer, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook . Glue by Sharkswimmer
