Waiting for Another Script by STRES

For fans of Viagra Boys, Black Eyes, Mclusky, first wave hardcore, and that nihilistic spirit which brought punk into the limelight, Waiting for Another Script by STRES bemoans self-righteousness, criticising all authority in an effort to find a deeply human and irrefutably true way of life. Unhinged shouted vocal performances and wild bebop jazz riffs highlight this record’s militant individuality, an anti-worldview born of the understanding that everything peddled by institutions of power contains some grain of vampiric self-benefit. A dark, noisy punk aesthetic rounds out the instrumentals, capturing that original energy of complete despondency and disbelief at the stupidity of the powers that be and their endless wars, recessions, and crises. STRES takes us to a point of complete deconstruction, one where we trust nothing and search endlessly for truth in ourselves and our communities. To escape, we must find a new north star, an organizing point by which we assert our personhood to a world increasingly determined to shatter our souls.
