Pleasants - "Losing Streak"​/"​Sick Sad Situation"


Pleasants, who released the excellent long player Rocanrol In Mono earlier this year, are back with a killer digital single that is slated for a vinyl release in early 2025. Songwriter/lead dude Al Uminium has been a mainstay of the Perth punk scene in recent years, and he's really cooking with gas on this new single. "Losing Streak"​ and "​Sick Sad Situation" are the songs, and they hit the mark for '70s-style punk with a modern garage-punk edge. As good as the album was, this single finds Pleasants hitting another level. The songwriting is top-notch, and the energy in the playing and recording are undeniable. If you love old school punk rock that's simple, catchy, and hard-hitting, you ought to be all over both of these tunes. The 7" will be out soon on Under the Gun Records in the U.S.A.!
