Tuff Palace & The Servo presents
Sounds Like Winter // The Veil // The Drowning Mermaids
Emerging in fits and starts from 2013, Sounds Like Winter
would go on to blaze a trail of increasing confidence and
originality, bringing a contemporary voice to the classic
post-punk formula. Citing “tight black jeans” and 1982 as
key influences, theirs is a sound firmly entrenched in the
1979-83 era of positive punk, deathrock, dark punk, and
proto goth. Loping bass and scything guitars are ferried
atop a dervish of neo-tribal drums, drawing comparisons to
Joy Division, The Birthday Party, Bauhaus, Christian Death,
Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Sex Gang Children. And yet,
Sounds Like Winter continue to evolve into one of the most
exciting acts in the contemporary post-punk milieu. Where
they have forged their own identity, and one that is
relevant to the present day, is through songs that address
the inherent absurdity of modern life, with a wry smile and
a call-to-arms.
