The Physical World

High-voltage bass and drum duets that bridge the gap between noise rock and the dance floor. A heavy, polished return to form after a decade of silence.

It’s like a disco in a riot zone where the only instruments allowed are a drum kit and a very angry bass.

Relentless, high-octane energy balanced with a gritty, urban sense of urgency.
