“… take more references from hardcore of yesteryear, soaking in everything from SSD to Infest to Warzone and beyond to create their vitriolic punk rock anthems.” – Noisey
Dallas, TX hardcore outfit Modern Pain are streaming their new single, “Peace Delusions”, over at Noisey. This song appears on the band’s forthcoming two-song EP of the same name, which will be available on May 19th from Bridge Nine.
Peace Delusions is a teaser EP for Modern Pain’s full-length album, coming later this year. “Peace Delusions” (which will appear in re-recorded form on the LP) offers a caustic, noisy preview of what’s to come, maintaining a traditionally stomping and aggressive, forward-moving fast beat while conveying an eerie, paranoia-ridden atmosphere. The B-side, a cover of the legendary Sonic Youth’s “Kill Yr. Idols”, from an early EP of theirs of the same name, acts as a sensible referential point for where the band plan on taking hardcore: into the strange and unconventional.
Modern Pain will be heading out on a U.S. tour in support of the single right around its release date. Check out the dates below and in the meantime, pre-order Peace Delusions b/w Kill Yr. Idols at B9Store.com.
