Poisonous Barbecue: Hater
Single – Impartial

An explosion of fuzzy guitars, breakneck drums, and glittering synths, Hater captures a frenetic, flashy, and feral power. Balancing its noisy, high-octane core with sharp melodic prospers, the observe sits in an area that’s too uncooked and unfiltered for pop-punk, but too off-kilter and unpredictable to be neatly boxed into punk custom. It’s extra chaotic than business — however nonetheless wildly catchy, thanks largely to the memorable melodies of the brat-punk vocals.

Loud, uncompromising, and razor-sharp, Hater is loads of enjoyable. Regardless of its quick runtime, it crams in layers: stinging lyricism, tongue-in-cheek spoken phrase skits, and an ironic, fluorescent aesthetic that matches the band’s daring visible identification. The guitar work goes effectively past energy chords, as a substitute giving a various palette of tight, quick tremolo selecting and complicated riffs that lock in completely with gritty bass traces.
On the coronary heart of the observe are sassy, snarling vocals that lash out at pretend mates, buzzkills, and power drainers, in the end delivering a fittingly intense and cathartic focus. Backed by sharp harmonies and crashing instrumentation, the vocals lower by means of the combination with perspective and aptitude. The mix of textures offers Hater a glowing alt-pop edge harking back to Orchards or Congratulations, whereas the general punk snarl leans nearer to the uncooked chunk of Amyl and The Sniffers or Lambrini Ladies.
A mutated hybrid, cobbled collectively from 2000s pop, nu-metal tantrums, and grunge’s greasy sneer, the observe units the tone for extra music on the horizon.
