Listen to “Greetings, Fellow Insmoniacs” from Philly hardcore heroes Paint It Black (playing the First Unitarian Church on 3/31)
Paint it Black means business, always. Their songs are quick, aggressive, and thought-provoking, with little fat. Take the new track their label, No Idea Records, premiered today – “Greetings, Fellow Insomniac” rages about conscious desensitization: “We don’t wanna feel pain / that’s what the medicine’s for.” Heavy stuff, and its good to see these heroes of the hardcore punk scene in Philadelphia back in action. The band releases its new 7″ EP Invisible on March 31st – the day of their record release show, which just got a nice feature writeup in the Philadelphia Weekly. Get tickets and information about the show at the R5 Productions website, and listen to “Greetings, Fellow Insomniacs” below.
