Triple Sundae - Pollution



  Forming in 2014, Triple Sundae are a 4 piece melodic punk band from London who's influences include the likes of The Menzingers, Lifetime, PUP, Spraynard etc. Their first release was The Brainfreeze ep, they followed it up a year later with Flaked Out and then took things up a notch with line up changes and last year's Peace Of Mind ep. Gigs alongside Jeff Rosenstock, Authority Zero, Ducking Punches, Petrol Girls etc have seen them grow their fanbase and that fanbase will no doubt be impressed with new ep, Glow. This time around you get 6 songs for your cash and the lead track is on Bandcamp : https://triplesundae.bandcamp.com/album/pollution They'll be self releasing the full ep on June 7th.

    They're currently on a UK tour with Jukebox Romantics and are making plans for a debut album. You can get more details here :  https://www.facebook.com/triplesundae/

    Glow is a well produced ep that reminds me a little of Iron Chic. Frontman Hassan Afaneh has just the right kind of vocal range for this type of music and the rest of the band, Mike, Andy & Zandro provide impressive backing. As with previous releases, the ep deals with mental health issues, case in point being the song you'll find below which "highlights how our own bad habits and ways of procrastinating can poorly affect our mental health without us noticing directly."

  This is Pollution...

Find a better way, 
To clear your mind, 
Reset your brain. 
I need some time to illustrate 
my thoughts before I start the day, 
but I always check my phone as soon as I’m awake, 
and it sets the tone for the rest of my day. 

It's mental pollution, 
and constant distractions. 
Reality loosens, 
Leads to subconscious destruction. 
I need to practice moderation, 
to overcome compulsion 

Roll another one, 
never mind my spoiled lungs, 
don't wanna stay up all night, 
With my thoughts. 
Swear if I don’t roll another one, I’ll stay up all night, 
So I rolled another one, 
And shut my brain off. 

It's mental pollution, 
and constant distractions 
Reality loosens, 
Leads to subconscious destruction. 
I need to practice moderation, 
to overcome compulsion. 

Need to practice moderation 
To overcome my compulsion 

Reality loosens, it’s mental pollution. 
We're all deluded.
