Diving into this EP feels like flipping on strobe lights in a dim warehouse, raw, visceral synth-punk energy that hits your chest. Opener “Burning Down The Wrong Buildings” immediately locks you into a spell of fuzzy riffs and pounding beats, the kind that makes your shoulders start bopping without permission. The title really tells you what it’s about: resisting the noise, dancing anyway.
“Faux Follow” layers in some punchy rhythms over breathy vocals that flirt with post-punk swagger, while “My Brother’s Guns & Knives” gets dark and intense, emotional tension wrapped in eerie synths that ride the line between haunting and hypnotic. I caught myself repeating the chorus under my breath like it was a mantra.
The standout, “Silence Knows,” is that perfect hush-before-the-storm moment. It’s emotional, hypnotic, and shows off some dripping vocal production that just glistens on the buildup (boredcity.co, darkscene.org). Then it hits you, synths crashing in a cathartic swirl to shake your whole system. By the time “Cold Gold” rolls in, you’re warm again, its dreamy future‑pop tone giving a bittersweet outro that lingers long after the last note.
I like the song a lot, and it should be in everyone’s playlist because it’s that rare piece of music that punches hard emotionally while also making you want to stomp your feet in time, and you really can’t say enough about how it balances edgy attitude with infectious grooves.
No fluff here. The EP comes in tight, but it leaves a big bruise of mood and melody. If you’re into synth‑driven darkwave with a punk soul, RESIST. DANCE. nails it. Heavy For The Vintage packed this thing with feels and fire, zero filler, pure pulse.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
