Denver punk group Public Opinion releases its second album The Curse of Public Opinion on Friday through SideOneDummy in garage punk.
Produced by Brett Romnes, the ten-song record lasts only 23 minutes but makes room for garage-rock swagger, classic punk hooks and the sharp edges of hardcore. Vocalist Kevin Hart writes from the perspective of someone whose frustration turns inward before it finally becomes impossible to contain.
Recent single 'I Pay Everyone I Still Talk To' transforms that uneasy self-awareness into an immediate melodic rush. Other previews include 'Balloon Man Running' and 'When Kevin Gets Free', while Vinnie Caruana contributes to 'Modern Convenience'. The result promises compact songs with deliberately messy human centres.
