It’s good to be back on the local scene. Well, digitally. Newly formed (since last summer) Mason, MI space punkers provide DIY goodness with their second single “Blind.”
I consider myself a pretty big advocate for DIY. I know some find the style to be a deregatory mark, but I’m always excited to check out a DIY production. So much soul can get left on the floor as people are distanced from their final product, and I love the quirks and rough edges of DIY recordings. I cannot think of a genre better suited for the style than punk, and Inkdrinker is a perfect fit. The rawness and lyrics remind me of proto-punk and early emo, but with a willingness to write a bit more complicated of a song: complete with doomy opening riffs, thrashy drums, and a nice spacey outro. I guess they don’t call it space punk for nothing.
I think it’s fair to call Inkdrinker a promising new band. I also dig the previous single “Can’t stay away,” and really enjoy the general vibe and production style. You oughta give them a follow if you’re in the Michigan area, as it seems they play decently frequent shows. Anyway, Inkdrinker, “Blind,” it’s good.
Next Show: Sat, 2/28 – Brush Alley Skate Shop – Flint, MI
