On a bed of rollicking indie rock that straddles post-punk precision with bright, slacker-forward riffs, the quartet takes rhetorical aim and shoots. The bullets here are long, vivid vocal lines laid on beds of lush harmonies: clever burns, snapshots of outrage and absurdity, quips, and catalogues of social, political, economic contradictions.
Full or snarky, anti-establishment, society skewering, oft political bite, Hadley’s Stoner Will & The Narks are set to return with their sophomore album, A Narxist Critique. Due out 10/15 via Tiny Radars, the band’s sardonic post-punk is razor sharp in intellect and sense of humor, appealing to fans of both Cheekface and The Cool Greenhouse.
Finally someone has the good sense to write a song about the futility of using the web to promote music in 2018, and it’s the debut from the Western Mass trio Stoner Will & The Narks, a new project from Bucket’s Will Meyer. Set to release Only Bots Like My Band via the welcome return of TinyRadars, the band take a sarcastic and disjointed approach to their sound.
