The Mysterines: A Venomous Injection of Garage Punk

The Mysterines are a shot of adrenaline straight to the jugular. Their sound is a raw, visceral cocktail of garage punk and post-punk, served ice-cold with a side of nihilistic swagger. Frontwoman Lia Metcalfe’s voice is a weapon, a whip-crack delivery that cuts through the noise like a knife.

Their latest album, *Afraid of Tomorrows*, is a relentless assault on the senses. Tracks like “Sink Ya Teeth” and “Tired Animal” are anthems for the disenfranchised, fueled by a primal energy that’s both exhilarating and terrifying. It’s a record that demands attention, a sonic punch in the gut that leaves you breathless.

The Mysterines aren’t just riding a wave; they’re creating a tidal wave. This is music for the damaged and the damned, a soundtrack for the end of the world. If you’re looking for something to shake you to your core, look no further.
