About the artist
Head Wound City
Head Wound City is a supergroup of punk rock proportions, consisting of members from bands such as The Blood Brothers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Locust. Their sound is a chaotic mash-up of blistering guitars, pounding drums, and visceral screams that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. Formed in 2005, Head Wound City burst onto the scene with their self-titled EP, a blistering assault of noise that quickly garnered them a cult following. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity, with frontman Jordan Blilie thrashing about the stage like a man possessed, while guitarist Nick Zinner shreds with reckless abandon. Their long-awaited debut album, "A New Wave of Violence," was released in 2016 to critical acclaim, with Pitchfork hailing it as "a sonic onslaught that will leave you bruised, battered, and begging for more." The album is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with tracks like "Scraper" and "Born to Burn" showcasing the band's ability to blend melody with mayhem. Head Wound City may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, they will be rewarded with music that is as cathartic as it is confrontational. In a world of cookie-cutter bands and manufactured pop stars, Head Wound City stands out as a shining example of what true artistic expression can achieve. So strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to have your eardrums blown to bits.
