Night Punch

Night Punch GODISNOWHERE EP

Mysterious “dark” punk that has a fair bit of novelty (including members keeping their identity secret), but they pull it off exceptionally well. NIGHT PUNCH has essentially produced a solid set of straightforward hardcore songs and gave them a goth makeover. Theatrical intros/outros, clinical, phased guitar leads, and some of the most over-the-top, warbly vocals I’ve heard since ELECTRIC CHAIR’s last LP take these tracks to a much moodier place, and it really works. I’m typically a “less-is-more” kind of guy, but in this instance, I’ll take the extra bells and whistles. Recommended.

Night Punch Where Sins Bloom (So Does Death) cassette

Fresh Hamburg synth punk project that sure knows how to create an atmosphere with their synth’s dark and cold tweaks. Fast-paced cadences, some tasty riffs, and super-reverbed frantic vocals. Interesting dark and blunt interlude sections are throughout the album, and though the songs may be a bit repetitive in tempo, they compensate with the work on the synth and vocals. Reminded me of DESBORDE in some of the intros between the synth and the drums, and then the whole band comes in, like in “Where Sins Bloom” and “Something We Cannot See.” Recommended for synth punk maniacs.
