BLIGHTS (New No-Wave/Post Punk From Colombia, Missouri)
There's a new band from Colombia, Missouri that you should all check out. It's no-wave post punk with a spaghetti western feel. There are three singles on bandcamp, two of which have lyrics up. One sounds like it's about someone lying about sexual assault and all of the abuser's friends and acquaintances taking their side. Another is about barriers between people and divisions within ourselves. I found the lyrics to be incisive and insightful. They sent me an additional track that's not available for public consumption yet, but will be on the upcoming album and it really impressed me. Look out for these folks... By the way, they have former members of NEW TONGUES and ENEMY AIRSHIP. Recommended if you like PINK TURNS BLUE, JOY DIVISION, and AU PAIRS.
