Remote Control is a two-minute punk detonation from L.A.-based duo SlowGhost. Fueled by thrashy guitars and thundering drums, the track skewers the passive-aggressive power plays that fracture families, strain friendships — and sometimes destabilize entire countries. The vocal is a dry, desperate plea, nodding to the unraveling monologue of “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies.

Channeling the chaotic energy of 1980s SoCal punk and the theatrical unease of St. Vincent or Father John Misty, “Remote Control” walks the tightrope between mockery and vulnerability. The cover art — a vintage TV framing a smiling housewife in a flaming kitchen — drives home the central message: performative love, control dressed as care, playing out on our tiny screens.

Perfect for fans of short, sharp punk songs with a spicy twist to match today’s political and cultural unrest.
