Balancing hooks and abrasion, the debut from Berlin punks Rouge features springy synths, snappy percussion, and insouciant vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 3, 2022
Impressive debut EP. Exciting post punk / new wave sound mixed with synth punk and the groovier side of no wave. Great songwriting. Soaring femme vocals. Musicianship is top notch. Energetic and melodic without being too poppy or saccharine. “Animal Glue,” “Television” and “Aquarium” are standouts for me, but the whole EP is solid and I keep all the songs in heavy playlist rotation. kel kontraire
