Punk/Post-Punk
On record, Death Lens have an established habit of writing hard-nosed rock that combines West Coast reverbed-out surf punk with tight and bouncy Britrock, deceptively characterizing the band as exclusively chill and vibe-focused when live, a Death Lens show has all the energy of hardcore.
It’s certainly the vibe you get watching Death Lens perform to a crowd of Brown kids with every bit as much attitude as a band like IDLES. Slick guitar tones and sugary backing vocal harmonies are the foundation of their style, but in a 200 capacity room, it turns out that tracks like “Dream State,” and “Bombshell,” are very easy to stagedive to, bringing the same winning concoction as Turnstile and tourmates Militarie Gun.

Wrong Man was formed in 2021 by a bunch of friends that - in one way or another - had already been playing together for years. With a shaded love for a wide range of music and a shared background in hardcore/punk, the outcome is a band that thrives on the tension between loud guitars, subtle melodies and a bluesy groove. Post Hardcore, post-punk, alt rock of MTV’s 120 minutes could all be references, but all you need to do is dive in, listen and see what you find. Wrong has a 12” EP called “Who Are You?” out now.
