Hartle Road Share ICU Video
It’s hard to look away from K Records/Perennial Death at the moment, with a slew of really incredible releases on their roster for this fall. We’ve written extensively about The Smashing Times and Feeling Figures, but today we turn our attention to Hartle Road. It’s rhythmic and propulsive, but that owes itself almost entirely to the rhythm work, and perhaps the silkiness of the vocals. On the flip side, there’s all sort of catchy bits and pieces for old punks to grab onto, particularly the way the chords seem to almost rain down in a sort of deluge of sharp riffs. At times you’re caught up in this clever back and forth between punk boogie and discordant meditation, but the bobbing bass and chorus lines never fail to bring you back. The band release Maxx II on September 29th.
