Los Angeles quartet NiiS (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571984566526&locale=ne_NP) currently seem to be building up a head of steam. I've played a few tracks by them on recent shows and the feedback is always full of high praise.
I featured them on here 3 years ago with their heartfelt fuck you of a song (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/01/niis-fuck-you-boy.html).
Since then they've been honing their sound without dissipating any of their raw energy and they've just unleashed a beast of an album titled NiiS World. (I guess I better mention for those new to the band their name is pronounced Nice).
The album's available on ltd edition coloured vinyl (and numbers are running very low as I type this so be quick if you want one) and digital download https://niisla.bandcamp.com/album/niis-world
We're very lucky at the moment to be blessed with a number of awesome bands playing raging yet ever so catchy punk music (such as Slaughterhouse, Scowl, Mannequin Pussy etc) and maybe I'm biased but I usually seem to favour strong female vocals when choosing songs for the blog or show.
They released a few songs from the album as singles and they were great. The song I'm featuring is one you may not have heard yet if you're only familiar with those singles but it highlights both the power and the melody of the band to great effect. It's called New Pig...
