The debut EP by @distresstolerance.bsky.social has a VERY interesting sound. There's Grunge in there, but also Metal, PunkRock, Blues, Folk and more; all in a pretty cohesive package.
Really cool!
Highly, highly recommended!

Heeeeyyyy everyone. How about some new, original music straight from the birthplace of heavy metal? FOR FREE. Our first 2 home demos are up on bandcamp. Would love if you would give a listen and let us know what you think, & share about distresstolerance.bandcamp.com #metal #musicsky #musiciansky
Distress Tolerance
Heavy as your darkest thoughts and as fun as your favourite party.....Distress Tolerance. Straight from the home of heavy metal, we are busy creating the ultimate playlist to the end of civilisation. Melodic and Noisy, Fast and Brooding, we exist in the tension between the urge to pull your blanket over your head, and the will to run through walls.

Afternoon, Kate here
Moving on from my Alf Stewart tussling in front of the sun, a vision donated by Chris, I hope to catch some ideas today for some more visuals.
