If It's Too Loud...

When a band describes themselves as "dark punk" and releases a song called "Drowning in Piss," it's fairly safe to assume what that song will sound like. Vancouver's lié are quickly becoming a favorite of mine, and this new song is cementing that. "Drowning in Piss" is a ferocious, swirling punk song that delves deeply into post punk. You've never heard post punk groove this hard while being this dark and heavy. All of this paired with heavy jangly guitar make for an intensely hypnotic mix. You can watch the video for "Drowning in Piss" below. You Want it Real , the new album from lié, will be out February 28 on Mint Records. You can pre-order the album here .

Photo via Facebook I've been obsessed with  lié's blend of "cold punk" for a few years now, and I'm always thrilled when I can bring you new music of theirs. Their latest song, "Digging in the Desert," is exactly what I want from  lié: It's ferocious punk, and as loud and noisy as that label can possibly be. But, they're also adding in the groove of post punk, and literally everything about this song is catchy. The guitar swirls as much as it rips, and it's all wrapped up in a spastic concoction that I've been spending all weekend listening to. "Digging in the Desert" is the first seriously great song of 2020. You can watch the video for "Digging in the Desert" below.
