ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

A noise-oriented punk band with some artsy experimental tendencies, Year Future leavens their screamo attack with unexpected elements like heavy dub basslines and gothy keyboard textures, with influences ranging from Fugazi and early Sonic Youth to Public Image Ltd. and Dead Can Dance.

Kay formed {$Year Futu...[more]

The first full-length by Year Future, led by Gold Standard Labs head honcho Sonny Kay, primarily consists of standard-issue GSL post-hardcore in the vein of Kay's previous bands Angel Hair and the VSS. The guitars are loud, the drums are furious, the vocals are incomprehensibly shouty, and the song structures are fragmented in the now-familiar post-hardcore fashion, such as the stop-on-a-dime breaks in the opening As a result, First World Fever will be com   [ read more ]
