CONSEQUENCE: SONG OF THE WEEK

Wow wow wow!

We made Consequence of Sound ‘s “Song of the Week”!

Reckling – “Verbalize”

On “Verbalize,” Reckling find their specific flavor-combo of rock music. It’s a (quite delicious) mix of similar, yet undeniably distinctive subgenres of punk, featuring notes of post-punk, pop-punk, and garage-rock. The result is a full-bodied, irresistible tune for anyone who regularly puts Joy Division, Paramore, and The Strokes on the same playlist.

Though it runs over five minutes, the song moves at a brisk pace, luring the listener into a trance with its driving, dance-y drum beat, dreamy guitars, and melodic but perfectly imperfect vocal performance. With the imminent release of their newest EP, Human Nature, Reckling might be setting up for one of the most effortlessly cool releases of the year. — J.K.
