Chest Pains get aggressive on snarly punk track "Petrified"

14 June 2017, 15:55 | Written by Aaron Powell

Leeds outfit Chest Pains decry conservatism and celebrate peculiar arthouse interactions on their debut offering "Petrified".

Formed in the decrepit warehouses and non-profit art spaces of the industrial North, Chest Pains channel the likes of Holograms, Shame, and Pissed Jeans on "Petrified", a rip roaring, post-punk ode which writhes and squirms like some caged beast, eager to get out and feast on skinny jeans and '80s pop records.

The group combine the guttural ruminations of The Gang Of Four with the dynamic musicality of Savages, creating their very own and distinctive brand of animalistic garage noise. It is refreshing that the band are tackling issues head on from politics to anxiety, feeding into the growing dissident rumblings coming from grass roots scene. One can only wait with anticipation until their carnage and chaos spill out to the masses.

"Petrified" is out now.
