ANIMAL SHITHOUSE
EP ‘WHO TAUGHT YOU TO HATE?’
TO BE RELEASED DECEMBER 1 ST VIA LOCKJAW RECORDS
Animal Shithouse‘s latest EP, ‘Who Taught You To Hate?’, set to release on December 1st via Lockjaw Records, is a relentless dive into the gritty realms of hardcore and industrial punk. Hailing from Tunbridge Wells and consisting of Mylan Kumar on drums, Elliot Mulley on guitar/bass, Alex Armstrong on guitar/bass, and B.M Martin on vocals, the band operates between the bustling cities of London, Bristol, and Brighton. Following their debut EP, ‘House of Shit,’ released in 2022, Animal Shithouse has kept the momentum alive with singles like ‘This Town is a Graveyard’ and ‘I just Punched Piers Morgan.’
The EP emanates a raw, unhinged energy that immediately grabs the listener’s attention. Drawing parallels to the sonic chaos of SLAVES and the rebellious spirit of Black Flag, Animal Shithouse refuses to conform, delivering an industrial punk sound that is unapologetically in-your-face.
The lyrics of ‘Who Taught You To Hate?’ venture into a dark and hard-hitting landscape, painting a wasteland of surreal, nightmarish imagery. Yet, beneath the aggressive surface, there’s a subtle thread of vulnerability running through the veins of the EP. The juxtaposition of ferocity and fragility adds depth to the overall experience.
The EP doesn’t shy away from tackling intense themes, touching on subjects such as violence, self-hatred, and drug abuse. Each track feels like a sonic assault, with Animal Shithouse screaming their message directly into the listener’s face. The EP’s intensity serves as a visceral journey, leaving an indelible mark long after the last chord fades away.
‘Who Taught You To Hate?’ is a sonic rollercoaster that propels Animal Shithouse into the forefront of the hardcore and industrial punk scene. The EP is a testament to the band’s unbridled passion and fearless exploration of the darker corners of the human experience. Lockjaw Records has yet another potent release on their hands with this latest offering from Animal Shithouse.
