Last year South London duo Scrounge made their debut with the song ‘Etch’. A power-hitting blast of post-punk, the song demonstrated the band’s dynamic demeanor. The pair now return with their latest single ‘Crimson’. Pushing the tempo into faster territory, the track races with a sense of urgency as thunderous drums, sinister guitar riffs and Scrounge’s overlapping vocals create a sense of orchestrated chaos. Full of energy, ‘Crimson’ is an overly exciting offering from the new post-punk heroes.

Touching on the song, Scrounge stated:

“’Crimson’ is about the mythologies that one builds up around oneself, and what happens when those mythologies rub up against reality and their flaws are exposed. We recorded it in an afternoon with our mate Mark in South Bermondsey, writing and rewriting the lyrics as we played, and worked hard to channel the disorientating feelings. Confusion and loss are at the heart of the enterprise…”
