Episode 125: HUNTINGS

Today I am joined on the podcast by brothers James and Brian Edwards of the two-piece Rock band HUNTINGSI'll be chatting with the guys about their brilliant debut album, 'Songs of Last Resort', which was released on October 24th and features such electrifying singles as 'Turn On', 'Doom' and 'Sparks'Over the course of 9 songs, they explore themes of love and loss, relationship dynamics, dealing with the human condition as well as despair and despondency at the world around them. These are the songs of retaliation, as the brothers try and make sense of the modern world. If there’s a soundtrack to the of the world, this is it.Thematically the record is dark and heavy, not afraid to go the recesses of one’s psyche or explore the darker side of human existence always with one eye on annihilation, of the self, others, or the world. The gargantuan noise that the two brothers create should take two or three times their number. Guitars move from surfy reverb to buzzsaw distortion drenched destruction. Brian's drums provide purpose and drive to parts, accentuating guitar lines and vocal patterns, almost goading James into pushing harder and further than before. A stunning debut that far exceeds the sum of its partsWe'll also be chatting about our favorite shows of the year, how great Portishead and Massive Attack are and what the band has in store for 2025.HUNTINGS on InstagramSongs of Last Resort on SpotifyOld Crow Promotions Hosted on Acast.
