Headfirst Editor's Pick
"2025 doesn’t deserve dark post-punk as anthemic as Chain Cult. Shitty Futures summons them from Athens like a crusted incarnation of Pink Turns Blue or some squat punk cousins of the Sound. Soaring melodic anguish for the disenfranchised + Bruxism’s surrealistic gothic fits FFO: Wipers, Chameleons, Beastmilk, Diät, Horror Vacui, early TSOL."
