Our Take
Our Take
London-based trio Girls in Synthesis have returned with their latest offering, "The Rest Is Distraction," and boy, is it a doozy. This album is like a sonic rollercoaster that takes you on a wild ride through the grit and grime of the modern world.
From the opening track "They're Not Listening" to the closing notes of "We Might Not Make Tomorrow," Girls in Synthesis deliver a punchy blend of post-punk energy and DIY ethos that is sure to get your heart racing and your head banging. Frontman John Linger's snarling vocals cut through the noise like a knife, giving each song a sense of urgency and raw emotion.
Tracks like "Pressure" and "Tangible Things" showcase the band's ability to mix blistering guitar riffs with pulsating synths and pounding drums, creating a sound that is both chaotic and cathartic. It's like a punk rock riot in your headphones, and you won't be able to resist the urge to mosh along.
But don't let the raucous energy fool you - there's a depth and complexity to Girls in Synthesis' music that sets them apart from their punk rock peers. Songs like "Set Up To Fail" and "Kissing The Glass" tackle weighty themes like social injustice and political corruption, all while still delivering a killer hook that will have you singing along.
In a music scene that can sometimes feel stagnant and uninspired, Girls in Synthesis are a breath of fresh air. "The Rest Is Distraction" is a bold statement from a band that refuses to play by the rules, and we can't wait to see what they do next.
