NYC thrash-punks Nodega have announced their debut album 'Rot In Helvetica'
Nodega are also sharing their first single 'Quantify'.
NODEGA have announced their debut album 'Rot In Helvetica', set for release on 18th July via Chrysalis. The mysterious New York City thrash-punk quintet have also shared their first single 'Quantify'.
The album combines elements of old school hardcore, thrash, skate-punk and melodic indie-rock, with lyrics exploring themes from streaming service mind control to self-critiqued change.
Speaking about the album, NODEGA say: "Kim Gordon once observed that the punk ethos is all about saying 'No'. We wrote and played this set of old school capital P 'punk' high on the influence of old-school hardcore, skate punk, and early thrash but injected it with melody just to make sure to alienate the trad mohawk sect as well as the endless sea of post-punk copycats (most of which have nothing to do with anything resembling 'post punk' in spirit).
"This album is an attempt to liberate the wisdom, stupidity, and joy of the teenage state of mind. Despite myriad flaws, the platonic Teenager has a very real and profound access to spiritual truth that one shouldn't neglect. The pure at heart Teenager, for example, wouldn't jump through imaginary hoops to justify or ignore state-sponsored genocide. They'll just (loudly) say 'NO!'"
Of their debut single 'Quantify', the band state: "Obey your Wall Street and Silicon Valley masters and continue ranking (and quantifying via number or star) every experience."
