Mononegatives - Sure Shock

Ready to have your ear-hole ripped open?! Mononegatives have a new 7" called Sure Shock on No Front Teeth Records that will slash at your senses and catapult you to the darkest recesses of your mind. The Canadian trio (featuring members of Isolation Party and Klazo) delivers five tracks of raw punk meets new wave/synth-punk on this high-anxiety smasher of an EP. There's definitely a pronounced Screamers/Tubeway Army vibe here, but it's mixed in with a modern-day ripping lo-fi punk sound. All in all, this is a highly original and fascinating take on punk rock meets new wave. It's dark and discordant yet also full of bouncing energy. It's punk as fuck yet weird as hell. And I dig it! This is like what '70s punk would have been if the robots had taken over! Currently the 7" is available in the U.K. from No Front Teeth. A North American release is expected very soon as well. In the meantime, all of Mononegatives' digital releases can be purchased for cheap via Bandcamp. Don't miss the instant classic track "5 Second Future"!
