Please welcome Personality Cult to the Dirtnap Records roster!<\/p>\n
What started as a solo project for North Carolina\u2019s Ben Carr has evolved into a full-band supergroup of sorts, featuring past and present members of Paint Fumes, Last Year\u2019s Men, Natural Causes, Bass Drum Of Death, Missing Pages, Mind Spiders, Sweet Talk, Sweet Knives, and probably a bunch more that we\u2019re forgetting about!<\/p>\n
Dirtnap Records was tipped off to this monster of an album by Jeff Burke (Radioactivity\/Marked Men) as he was recording it a few months back in NYC. Soon after the sessions, Carr and Burke began trading the earliest mixes of the album with Carr recording all of the overdubs during and after his shifts at Wilmington, North Carolina\u2019s flagship record shop, Gravity Records. After a single listen to the finished product, we were tripping over ourselves to immediately get ahold of the band and offer to put the record out. Seriously, it\u2019s THAT good!<\/p>\n
Fast propulsive punk with hooks for days, and dark undercurrents swirling underneath. While sonically this doesn\u2019t fall too far from what you\u2019d associate with many beloved Dirtnap bands of the past, these guys really nail the delicate balance of taking a familiar sound and putting their own unique spin on it, in the end sounding like nothing but themselves.<\/p>\n
Following a s\/t LP on Drunken Sailor Records, Personality Cult will release their Dirtnap debut (and debut as a full band) \u201cNew Arrows\u201d on February 15th<\/sup>, 2020. This is the best new band we\u2019ve heard in awhile, so do take note.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please welcome Personality Cult to the Dirtnap Records roster!
