Our Take

FRUSTRATION's latest release, "Empires Of Shame," is like a blast from the past for those who long for the glory days of post-punk. This Parisian band serves up a delicious mix of angular guitars, pulsating basslines, and haunting vocals that harken back to the heyday of bands like Gang of Four and The Fall.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a dingy underground club in the heart of London, circa 1980. The energy is raw, the attitude is snarling, and the music is as sharp as a knife. Tracks like "Accelerate" and "Excess" are like a punch to the gut, with their fierce rhythms and cutting lyrics that speak to the frustrations of modern life.

Lead singer Jason Glasser delivers each line with a sneer that cuts through the mix like a razor blade, while the rest of the band provides a solid, churning backdrop that propels the songs forward with irresistible momentum. It's a sonic assault on the senses that will leave you simultaneously exhilarated and exhausted.

Overall, "Empires Of Shame" is a must-listen for fans of the post-punk genre looking for a fresh take on classic sounds. FRUSTRATION may not be reinventing the wheel, but they're definitely giving it a damn good spin. So lace up your Docs, grab a pint, and let this album take you on a nostalgic journey through the shadows of a bygone era. Cheers!

Their punk ethos is evident in every track, with relentless drum beats, screeching guitars, and raw, primal vocals that cut through the noise like a knife. But don't let their aggressive sound fool you - Frustration is more than just a bunch of angry punks. Their music is carefully crafted and expertly executed, blending elements of catchy pop melodies with dark, brooding lyricism that leaves you feeling both exhilarated and emotionally drained.

So if you're looking for a musical experience that will leave you breathless and wanting more, look no further than Frustration.

Frustration is not just a band - they're a force of nature, a sonic hurricane that will blow you away.
