Hattiesburg, Mississippi’s loudest export, MSPAINT, have released their debut full-length, Post-American, via Convulse Records. The four-piece have been turning heads with their blend of hardcore aggression, post-punk melodicism and hip hop cadences. Post-American delivers a jolt of ultra hooky synth punk energy, walking a tightrope between towering riffs and instantly hooky choruses, that’s sure to win over even the most skeptical of listeners to MSPAINT‘s highly unique sound. Co-produced by Ian Shelton along with engineer Taylor YoungPost-American is a compelling debut from a group that’s bringing something new to aggressive music. 

With disparate influences that range from Gulch to Three 6 Mafia to video game soundtracks, the guitarless band manages to sound at once heavy and melodic, crashing head-bobbing bass lines into ever-shifting synths and agile drumming. Hattiesburg has recently become a hotbed for interesting underground music with MSPAINT at the forefront. This is a band that draws energy from human connection and gives it back tenfold in their music. That sound might not be easy to categorize, but it certainly is easy to love.
