The new single from militant dance-punk duo Polevaulter is the fantastic ‘Violently Ill’. It’s a hard-hitting barrage of noise that brings together glitchy beats and electronics reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s darkest moments, and combines them with a punky, Prodigy-esque vocal delivery. “The lyrics were the first things I thought out at practice, and I like the fact that it has more sparse vocals than most of our tracks, gives our music chance to shine,” Jon Franz explains. “It's maybe my favourite song on the album.” The band are releasing their debut album, Hang Wave, on January 26th, 2023 and will be performing around the UK from February. They’re also performing the album live, on repeat, from 4pm on January 13th in order to raise funds for the Gaza Sunbirds, a para-cycling team who have been providing food and aid to families sheltering around the Gaza Strip.
