Looking for some DISCHARGE-inspired punishment for your eardrums? Here’s a gnarly heater from NYC’s SØRDÏD! Out now on Roachleg Records, “Reality’s A War” features five tracks of blink and you’ll miss it noise-punk that’s chaotic as hell but still extremely listenable, similar to d-beat titans PARANOID. Bookended by a poppy clip of a radio hit from a bygone era, SØRDÏD quickly smash through and grab you by the throat with pummelling drums that are relentless. There’s a constant hum and fuzz that adds to the frantic vibe, topped off with echoing vocals that sound as angry as they are desperate. SØRDÏD really channels the frustration at the current state of the world and provides a sense of cathartic release. I’ve been listening to this thing on repeat and I suggest you do the same!
