Hippie Trim ready debut LP with 4th single "Dead Heat"...An absolute banger!

Hippie Trim, the German melodic grunge filled hardcore / post-punk band, has just released their latest single "Dead Heat" and it's an absolute banger. These guys manage to combine hardcore angst, post-grunge, and emotionally driven melodic pop-punk into a cohesive and head-bobbing sound, that is sure to get people moving in the pit! You can hear the influences of bands like Drug Church, Fiddlehead, One Step Closer, and then like, making their way into these new songs. I love seeing a return to heavy and guitar fueled distortion with a hardcore groove and pop structure. This album is definitely shaping up to be one of our more highly anticipated releases of the year, and can't wait to hear this in full so we can share some more thoughts. In the interim, check out the new single "Dead Heat" along with the previoulsy released singles "Hooked on U", "Painball" and "Toothpaste" above. Simply put, this shit rocks!
