COLD RUSH PREMIERE AT NOISEY
Audacity reveal a new track, “Cold Rush” from their upcoming full length Butter Knife out October 29 via Suicide Squeeze. The song stays true to Audacity’s style – a rowdy blend of garage rock, punk and guitars tangled in noise.
Audacity’s latest full-length Butter Knife is still, at its core, a garage rock record. Album opener “Couldn’t Hold A Candle” is a perfect introduction to Audacity’s battle plan—a balanced blend of pop sensibility and ribald power. “Hole In The Sky” showcases the band’s gift for the on-the-dime changes, sophisticated melodies, and clever instrumental interplay. “Red Wine” demonstrates a Robert Pollard-like knack for turning an unexpected chord combination into a remarkably punchy chorus. And album closer “Autumn” harkens back to the balladry of power pop kings Big Star. All of which is to say, Audacity are one of the strongest acts in the Southern Californian garage rock scene.
The first pressing of this LP is limited to 1,000 copies on translucent gold vinyl and comes with a free download code. All pre-orders include an 11×17 folded poster.
