The Misanthropes – Headlands LP

Formed in Melbourne in 2021, Misanthropes is a post-punk band comprised of former members of Love of Diagrams, Sea Scouts, and Sewers. The band features Monika Fikerle on drums, Tim Evans on guitar and vocals, and Josh Watson on bass. Their sound draws from post-punk, noise rock, and lo-fi shoegaze but these dour outings have hooks. From lock-ins in Smog’s Bathysphere to blanket raging of late 80’s Wipers, The Misanthropes lean on a unique unrelenting density. Rolling thunder drums, driving bass lines and waves of guitars. Headlands is the band's second full lenth LP following up from their 2023 self-titled debut.
