Greek emotive punks, Hoi-Poi, release new single and announce new album

Hoi-Poi Schoolwave 2018 (1)

Hoi-Poi, emotive punk/post hardcore band from Thessaloniki, GR (FFO: Title Fight, Hot Water Music, Sunny Day Real Estate), have just released their new single “Chief End”, taken from their upcoming album “Sain’t Adorable” that comes out on the 3rd of April 2020 via Nasty Cut Records. The song’s lyrics are about the sudden appearance of self-doubt in the shape of an apparition and the music perfectly reflects the album’s overall sound, in which keyboards and synths are in harmony with a mixture of raw post-hardcore riffage. “Chief End” is available on all streaming platforms, while the album will be available digitally as well as on vinyl, CD and cassette (available for pre-order on the band’s Bandcamp page).

Hoi-Poi is a four piece post-hardcore/emotive punk outfit from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band started off in early 2011 as a cover band trio and in August 2013 they released their first original EP, entitled “Powerhouse Dynamics”. After a streak of live shows, during the winter of 2015 they released their demo, Happen. After 9 months of independently recording, mixing and mastering their debut album titled “Forever Knows Best” at their DIY studio, they released it in December 2016. Two years later, in March 2018, the band released their latest mini album, “Dread and Vision”. During 2019, Hoi-Poi recorded their upcoming album, “Sain’t Adorable”, which was recorder and mixed by Jacopo Fokas (Despite Everything) at Villa Giuseppe Recordings in Athens and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room in the US. The album will be released in April 2020 and it will be followed by an extended Greek tour with Forever Unclean (DK) and an EU tour in May.

thumbnail_PROMO BANNER

Desert Near The End always thought of themselves as a missing link. Taking their first musical steps in the Greek Metal scene of the 90’s, they grew up with the great Power/Thrash Metal bands of that era. In January 2018, Desert Near The End entered Incorporated M. Studios in Athens to record their fourth album “Of Fire And Stars”. This album is a culmination of everything the band draws inspiration from. It’s a Power/Thrash Metal amalgam carved with Death/Black Metal tools. It’s lyrics speaks of how fire and stars literally and metaphorically fuelled human imagination throughout history for “good and bad”. The fitting artwork for the album was created by Giannis Nakos(Remedy Art Design). The album was released at March 22, 2019 by Total Metal Records.
