Postcore

... the genre complex also known as post hardcore by some philistines. Think of anything smart, elaborate and artsy to have ever come out of the hardcore scene like, say, '80s & '90s Dischord groups. Math rock and -core. Oldschool emocore and anything adjacent to any of these. Whatever else fits in there somehow. It may have overlaps with genres like post punk and noise rock. Hard to distinguish in many cases anyway. Post old and new stuff. Let's not be too pedantic over genre definitions. One rule though: please keep it distinct from screamo and metalcore stuff, as there are already better suited communities existing for these genres.

It took the Sydney group like a half decade to come up with their third EP but here it finally is in all its glory and spectacle. Their very own fusion of noise rock, hard- and postcore has retained every bit of their frantic energy while mixing shit up just enough to keep things interesting, for example in Shame Bomb, in which they conjure up a previously unheard sense of melancholy. Other times, their speeds and levels of devastation are reaching the explosive force of their debut EP in songs such as Level Skipper and Prick in the Franger, after the slightly more forgiving previous Safe Word EP, while tracks like Night Shift Blues once again supercharge all the grime and dirt of oldschool Amphetamine Repile-style riffing with a relentless hardcore attack.
