Too Many

You make me plead
Down on my knees
I’m
Giving you up

You kill my vibe
I’m terrified
I’m 
Telling you to leave

round this roundabout 
cross your heart
and swear to god 
that you’ll change 
you’re a liar 

all my life 
you come back 
and say you’re tired 
it’s no use 
we’re over 

times are changing 
don’t you see
all the power lies with me 
you’re done 
so run

wonder why your 
worlds on fire 
play your games 
and speak your lies
you better leave 
so run 

god you stress me out 
i’m filled with doubt 
overthinking 
everything 

round this roundabout 
cross your heart
and swear to god 
that you’ll change 
you’re a liar 

all my life 
you’ll come back 
and say you’re tired 
it’s no use 
we’re over 

times are changing 
don’t you see
all the power lies with me 
you’re done 
so run

wonder why your 
worlds on fire 
play your games 
and speak your lies
you better leave 
so run 

It’s hard 
To find light in the dark
Trapped in your twisted game
You can lose 
Who we are 
I won’t let you in
Tear me down
I’m so done
It’s your turn to 
Run

Scrunchies is a Minneapolis, MN-based rock band formed by Laura Larson (she/her; guitar, vocals) and Danielle Cusack (she/her; drums, vocals). Larson earned notoriety early on, leading brash punk band Baby Guts. She is also currently a member of seminal dance-punk drums and bass trio, Kitten Forever.  Cusack, raised by veterans of the 70s NYC art and music scene, also came to prominence in the Twin Cities music scene as a teenager with her indie grunge rock band, Bruise Violet.

Larson and Cusack began Scrunchies after mutual admiration of each others' bands as well as a short stint together in a Buzzcocks cover band called Buzzcunts (with Clara Sayler of Babes in Toyland). Both are passionate about encouraging young women and queers to find empowerment in playing music and embracing a DIY ethos. 

In 2018, with Stephanie Jo Murck on guitar and Bree Meyer on bass, Scrumchies exploded onto the Twin Cities music scene as a supergroup with their debut album, Stunner (Forged Artifacts Records). A set of heavy and melodic rock scorchers tinged with moments of sweetness, Stunner earned Scrunchies a spot on City Pages’ Picked to Click and Best Rock Band, as well as in the lineup of First Avenue’s Best New Bands.

After a year of touring the U.S., and with Murck and Meyer shifting their focus to their other projects in  late 2019, Larson and Cusack were joined by bassist Matt Castore of legendary hardcore punk band Condominium. Castore, who recorded Stunner,  is a renowned music engineer and is currently developing a collective recording studio in the Twin Cities titled Soft Cult Studios.

Scrunchies brings an energetic live set, recalling the messy and cathartic energy of late 80s grunge, punk, and post-punk bands. Their forthcoming sophomore album, Feral Coast, continues their consciousness of the intersection of personal and political, pushing the edges of the soft and the heavy, with intimate yet surrealistic lyrics and melodic hooks. It is due out in April 2022 through Dirtnap Records (LP) and State Champion Records (limited edition cassette).

FFO Mannequin Pussy, Sleater-Kinney, The Distillers, Screaming Females, The Jesus Lizard.

LYRICS
Panic stations, it feels like vertigo
Might be misreading it but even so
Did you ever notice that idea start to grow?
Misinformation on the radio

I don't like it but you reap what you sow
So misleading with that puppet show
My advice is to forget what you're told
Shout and kick and scream until our blood runs cold

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in
But if you just try and deceive me or mislead me
You better run before the claws come out

Hazy illusions are clouding up the sky
All those visions leave you asking why
My intention is to live and let live
Give everything you've got till you've got nothing to give

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in

But if you just try and deceive me all the lies that you hear blurring out your TV
It is your mission to heal division so go and rally all the people who will listen

Panic Stations

Biography

Following their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘You’re Welcome’, Modern Guilt have kicked off 2022 in style by announcing the release of brand new single ‘Joy Control’.

Hailed by tastemakers including John Kennedy (Radio X), praised by This Feeling as one of the ‘Best New Bands’, and championed by the likes of Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Shell Zenner (BBC Radio / Amazing Radio) and Rowena Alice (BBC Radio / Boogaloo Radio / Islington Radio), Modern Guilt “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

‘Joy Control’ is the band’s first release following last year’s ‘You’re Welcome’ EP. Produced by long-term collaborator Mikey Buckley, the new single sits somewhere between the sounds of Motown and the New Wave scene of 1970’s New York City. While lyrically it depicts the frustrations of watching an individual, for a multitude of reasons, choose not to become someone you thought they could be.

‘Joy Control’ will be released digitally on Friday 25th February and will be accompanied by an official visualiser.

We are pleased to share the shoegaze track ‘June’ from indie band The Day via Sinnbus today. ‘June’ talks about friendship and how people drift apart when time and space get in the way of a good thing sometimes. Hazy and dreamy vocals cascade this track along with spaced out guitar notes.
