Apologies for a lack of activity...

I have spent the last few days at Parachute music festival (which was amazing), and so my weekly "this artist keeps me sane" has been prolonged until now!

This week it's delivered to philly hardcore band Paint It Black. Anger seems to be a recurring theme in my most played artists, as these guys combine angry overtones with unique, verging-on-indie-ish melodic elements. It makes for an odd listen which leaps between these passages and simple, straight-up hardcore punk. It's an odd mix, but with hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide they obviously pull off the sound well.
