UK-based indie punk / post-hardcore band hairpin just dropped a new EP, Modern Day Living, featuring their recent single “Curtain Call”. The band describes the EP as “post-hardcore through a power pop lens” with lyrics that break down the mundanities and anxieties of modern life.
The single, “Curtain Call” is a fast-driving, riff-heavy punch to the gut from the get-go. Once the vocals come in, the explosive guitars and drums are balanced perfectly by the melodies. The different elements of the songs are arranged so well, and the execution of everything – writing, instruments, vocals, production – are done in such a seamless, impressive way. This compelling sound and style appeals to the heavy music fans, the indie rock fans, and everyone in between.
