I don’t know the way again and again I’ve observed PUNITIVE DAMAGE are living. No matter it’s, Sean’s observed them two times as many. It’s no longer as a result of they’re a neighborhood band, it’s as a result of they’re one of the crucial sickest hardcore punks doing it at the moment. So as to say we’re stoked for his or her new Hate Coaching EP that’s out the next day to come, October twenty fifth by means of Convulse Data, could be an enormous understatement — pre-order it right here.
In a time when punks want to stand for one thing, PUNITIVE DAMAGE is status tall. Their new EP takes inspiration from the Israeli Warfare on Palestine, and calls out the manipulative, pseudo-patriotic, Machiavellian politics at play that intention to spin us into submission to imperialist will. Their name observe “Hate Coaching” takes at the struggle between state-sanctioned media and the tales of the folk, as their vocalist Jerkova explains:
It’s about my firsthand account of folks in my existence seeking to persuade me to reject purpose fact and fact. Simply this constant gaslighting that I want to forget about what I’m seeing, what I’m listening to, what I’ve realized from historical past–throw all of it to the wayside. Despite all the unfavorable sides of the web, it’s given us the facility to seem past the lies and euphemisms of reports shops that experience confirmed themselves incapable of impartial protection. Everybody has a telephone of their pocket and the facility to file and post what is going on to them. The bombing of reports shops, homicide of reporters, the smearing and suppression of folks documenting their very own revel in is not any twist of fate.
— Jerkova, vocalist
The whole thing about this EP seethes with righteous rage and fury, it’s riffs aimed on the struggle pigs’ jugulars and drums waking the hundreds up from snoozing throughout the slaughter. Should you’re searching for ballads to distract you from fact, you received’t in finding them on Hate Coaching — that is rapid, sharp, and takes intention on the middle of fascism like a silver bullet.
