The Punks, Talbot Tagora, Catatonic Youth
(Vera Project) With more employee turnover than an airport Starbucks, the Punks, whose current members are split between Brooklyn and Portland, are a textbook example of resilience. Through the toils of losing seven members over their five-year tenure, the Punks have persevered, and continue to create a haunting and complex sound. Plenty of delay, ethereal ghostlike vocals, and steady heartbeat rhythms on the floor tom act as the backbone for dirty layers of noise. The trio’s sound will so intensely pierce your ears, you’ll feel like a 12-year-old at Claire’s. Though Catatonic Youth also sees nothing wrong with a little delay pedal here and there, the one man band’s perfect mix of thick noise over fun punk anthems will also please fans of the less abstract.
