Raise Up The Sheets

Freshkills is a Brooklyn-based five piece as poisoned and poisonous as the famed landfill from which they derive their name. They’ve been slinging bitter, prickling riffs, sinewy grooves and basement-punk poetics since the rebirth of Lower East Side rock. Raise Up The Sheets attacks on every front like a pandemic; the vocals are wounded, acerbic; the rhythm section tight and monstrous; the twin guitars frantic. It’s a band that sounds cornered—and willing to fight its way out.
