Toronto’s self-described queer rollerskate punks <a href="/tags/shiv-and-the-carvers">Shiv and the Carvers</a> release ‘Executionary’, a snarling garage-punk single about intrusive thoughts and the punishment created by imagining disaster before anything has actually happened. Blown-out guitars, nineties melodic grit and Shiv Scott’s vocal attack turn anxiety into something fast, physical and strangely liberating.
The lo-fi video follows the aftermath of an all-night party, with the band performing while restrained by ropes representing invisible limitations. It is a useful visual metaphor and probably still less uncomfortable than waking up to discover every message sent after 2 a.m. The single arrives before a UK and European tour that includes Loud Women Fest in London and stops across several British cities. ‘Executionary’ understands that the mind can manufacture its own courtroom, prosecution and sentence. The band responds by placing the entire hearing on roller skates. Explore more punk releases in our <a href="/genres/punk">Punk News</a> coverage.
