April 07th has been set as the release date for a new EP from Santa Cruz, CA-based hardcore punk band Scowl. The outfit recorded that 5-song affair with producer/mixer Will Yip (Turnstile, Code Orange) and will have it out via Flatspot Records. The song “Opening Night” has just been unveiled as the lead single from that effort and a video for it directed by guitarist Malachi Greene is now streaming below.
Vocalist Kat Moss commented of this introduction to the EP:
“‘Opening Night‘ is a song I’m particularly excited about because I really worked on this song’s structure with the boys in the band. I felt inspired by early 2000’s indie rock songs written by bands like The Strokes and Vampire Weekend.
Lyrically this song takes a pretty literal stab at my experience of feeling jolted from stage to van, and back again, every single night. I also had experiences on tour where I was seeing faces in the crowd that belonged to people from my past, and it was pretty shocking.”
“Psychic Dance Routine” track listing:
01 – “Shot Down”
02 – “Psychic Dance Routine”
03 – “Wired”
04 – “Opening Night”
05 – “Sold Out”
The band are headed out on the road at present with Show Me The Body, Jesus Piece, Zulu and TRiPPJONES.
