Philadelphia punks WATERY LOVE blow apart our modern dystopia with sonic blasts and cutting leads that shake your marrow on their epic new LP Decorative Feeding from In The Red Records.
Clocking in at around 30 minutes, Watery Love cuts through all the BS of the rat race that leads people to self-destructive vices or worse, conformity, with atonal chord progressions, dissonant leads and soulful howls. Watery Love aren’t following in anyone’s footsteps – they’re marching forward with a swagger and middle digit extended in the man’s face that strikes fear into hipster posers and makes old school punks dust off their Flipper and Germ albums with a grin on their faces.
“Skulls in Zen” hits the jugular with a searing riff and walls of distortion that will drive you to your knees. “Only Love” employs funeral dirge-type riffs fueled by slamming percussion and a huge hook that would be perfect for a report on road rage on The News at 5. “I’m a Skull” slams forward with crunch n’ roll that tears apart traditional punk conventions with total dissonance, then melds all the madness together with an epic hook that repeats until a blazing lead surfaces to bring you back through the stratosphere to the hyper-reality of our existence. Listen to “Pump the Bimbo” below now and catch the disease.
