Pleasure in the Ruins

Bluesy pop-punk with a driving mid-tempo swing, crunchy muted guitars and a bouncing bassline; verses stay tight and confessional, pre-chorus opens with pulled-back drums and vocal lift, chorus hits with gang doubles and a shouty anchor.

Bright-but-gritty mix, close-mic lead, punchy and human., punk, blues, pop
