They pull from post-punk’s sharper corners, but filter it through something colder, louder, and more wired into the weight of history. Like a crack in the concrete, the past and present are pulling apart, and the narrator is using all his strength to keep the structure from collapsing.
Prohibition Prohibition’s upcoming EP ***Good Place To Stay*** is a stark, unflinching look at historical trauma and the kind of fear that stays quiet but constant. Focusing on how history lingers —in nature, in routines, in the background of daily life, the band uses polished punk edges paired with a reflected yet confronting voice to represent the personal entanglement with somebody else’s wounds. The truth lies on the top of an ancient mountain instead of a concrete building. At times sparse and poetic, at others powerful with a chiming midwest-emo sound as with the additional single *Riga* which marks the everlong search for the water and the onion rings. Out now on Idiotape Records.
