Unsane plays the Earl July 27
The NYC noise rock trio returns supporting their latest album,’Sterilize’
Unsane has been cranking out devastating noise rock dirges for nearly 30 years. Born of the late ’80s/early ’90s NYC music scene that spawned Helmet, Prong, Cop Shoot Cop, and the like, singer, guitarist, and founding member Chris Spencer has continued to deliver brutal noise-punk driven by a life-or-death instinct. The group’s longest-standing lineup, featuring bass player Dave Curran and drummer Vinnie Signorelli, is on the road supporting 2017’s Sterilize (Southern Lord). Songs such as “Factory,” “Inclusion,” and “We’re Fucked” are a full-throttle embrace of Unsane’s primal instincts, maintaining the group’s trademark grinding distortion and teeth-gnashing rage with simple, powerful, real-time anxiety and catharsis. With Wrong, Pretty Please, Iron Whip.
