Overwhelmed - Who Rules The World



  Overwhelmed are from Glasgow and impressed earlier this year with their impressive Demo   https://weareoverwhelmed.bandcamp.com/releases

  One of the tracks from it featured on here   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/03/overwhelmed-destroy-all-nuclear-weapons.html and had me saying I'm looking forward to hearing more from them. And now that I have heard more I can safely say they're one of the finds of 2019.

  The new release is an ep titled Who Rules The World, it features 4 female fronted aggressive blasts of shouty hardcore punk who's 7 minute runtime flies by leaving you wanting more. It's out on Sheffield label Kids Of The Lughole and it's available on 7" vinyl (ltd to 300 copies) and digital download https://kidsofthelughole.bandcamp.com/album/who-rules-the-world

  This is the title track, it barrels along at a rapid clip and you should hitch a ride....

Overwhelmed - Destroy All Nuclear Weapons



  Overwhelmed are Eilidh, Chrissy, Liam & George. "Peaceful freaks in a world bent on destruction." They're from Glasgow, have graced bands such as Kaputt, Public Service and Rapid Tan and recently released DEMO 2019. 8 short aggressive songs that barrel along in a pleasingly ramshackle way. The music blisters paint, the vocals are shouty, it's all good fun and reminds me a little of fellow Scots Bratakus. It's a debut release that's attracting plenty of positive comments and you can check it out here : https://weareoverwhelmed.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2019

  This song manages to stretch out the syllables in the title into something resembling a Munchian scream. It's both a worthy sentiment and a great calling card by a band I'm looking forward to hearing more from. This is Destroy All Nuclear Weapons...
