10 Punk, Rock And Metal Bands You Need To Hear Right Now
2. Phoxjaw
Phoxjaw, from Bristol in the UK, are an outfit that could perhaps be written of as just another post-hardcore band. In reality, that description doesn't cut it: they're a band that sounds like no other. Their songs are wildly inventive, ludicrously catchy and very weird.
By mixing the loud quiet loud intensity of alt. rock with the white-hot aggression of hardcore and the crushing heaviness of metal, they create unique songs that are an absolute joy to listen to. The riffs are brutal, the melodies memorable and the beat downs monstrous.
The vocals are varied too and switch between new romantic warbling, radio-rock clean singing and full-on ear-shredding screams whilst delivering suitably surrealist and humourous lyrics to go along with the rest of the madness.
After releasing two quality EPs over the last couple of years and finally dropping their brilliant debut album "Royal Swan" in 2020, Phoxjaw are a band everyone needs to be listening to.
Give "Triple AAA" a whirl, it's an absolute banger.
