Bursting forth from Dublin’s thriving punk scene, relative newcomers The Murder Capital have laid down the gauntlet with their ferocious debut single ‘Feeling Fades’. James McGovern’s bitterly spat vocals are both poetic and blood curdling, reminiscent of The Amazing Snakeheads’ legendary frontman Dale Barclay (R.I.P), whilst murky bass lines anchor a bed of angular guitar work atop thundering drums. Having recorded the track with iconic producer Flood (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Warpaint etc) ‘Feeling Fades’ is a truly exhilarating listen that’ll keep you pressing repeat.
