Pinch Points Share Haruspex

With their new album Process on next week’s horizon, we’ve got to be sure you’ve put Pinch Points on your radar before we inundate you with SXSW propaganda. When “Haruspex” kicks on, you get this post-punk sermon, with the band throwing out these wriggling guitar lines and emphatic vocal shouts; it feels like you’re being made to squirm beneath their message, squashing their message into your soul as the rhythm section stomps. There’s a slight uptick in the energy midway through, with the vocals holding tight to the mantra. If you’re digging, Process is out March 18th via Exploding in Sound.

Pinch Points Drop Am I Okay Single

The Aussie scene’s been quieter than usual, with only the Partner Look LP coming to mind as heavy rotation pieces over here, so I’m glad Melbourne’s Pinch Points have this rad little single to share from their forthcoming LP. In this song, you get a nice little rolling indie rock feel, sort of like the low tides nipping at your ankles as you walk along the beach. I love the dual vocal approach, matching the emphatic notes together as the song punches along. Lyrically, you’re not going to find a more apt tune today, or for the next few years, with the song hopefully reminding us all just to breathe, let the world move around you and just take care of yourself…sometimes we need a reminder. The band drop Process on March 18th via Exploding in Sound/Misteltone Records.
