Just seems more like something that was part of the Post Punk/Industrial revival.Īnd a few years ago every Pop-Punk band went from singing about pizza and their hometowns, to shoegazing and looking like more fashionable grunge artists.

Every twist and turn of Polysomn’s acid-laced chaos is calculated in shimmering brilliance and maximised for the heavy ecstasy of sonic enlightenment.
