Drown With The Monster
Domino
Vancouver rock ‘n’ rollers White Lung have signed to Domino Records. To celebrate this magnificent pairing they’ve dropped the video for what is an absolute behemoth of a new single.
‘Drown With The Monster’ is a 2 minute aggression advocate. This track sounds like Kathleen Hanna joined Trash Talk, fueled by face melting guitar and bass riffs that drive front woman Mish Way’s vocal howl straight home.
In her own words – “This song is about kicking habits and running away with a new distraction. It’s a song about my two biggest vices, but I’d rather drown with the monster than blow dry my wounds.”
Now joined by Wax Idols front woman Hether Fortune on bass duties, the new White Lung sound unstoppable. Hit play below and embrace this razor sharp hardcore, guaranteed to blow your head clean off.
‘Drown With The Monster’ is released April 29th via Domino Records. Get your 7″ pre-ordered here and catch them live at The Great Escape in May.

Ben Raybourn full part
More gnar has dropped from Ben Raybourn today.
Ello ello, what the fuck is going on here? We reckon the director ‘Price James’ hasn’t a clue either. Just when you thought the Selfridges’ ‘skatebored’ fiasco could get any worse, Dazed and Definitely Confused just released this top effort making skateboarding a laughing stock once again.
“Let the board games begin” say Selfridges. Indeed. Anyone involved in this who come from London’s skateboard scene should be highly embarrassed.
More fashion twat related belly-laughs here if you missed them.
One-off shoe collabs are rife but whatever Neil Blender signs up for is usually is pretty dope. A Vans Syndicate model has been designed, made and about to hit various hand picked independent Vans retailers out there this month. These also come with an exclusive custom-designed Neil Blender turtle bobble head.
Pretty cool looking on first view.
