Hold on to your hats! ‘Annual Killers – IS 12:00 THE NEW 4:20?’ is here to rock your world!

Welsh Prog/Punk Rockers, Annual Killers channelise their inspirations from greats like Green Day & Sum 41 into a raw, blistering rock opus. Executed with panache and urgency, they’ve crafted a compelling sonic listening experience. Perhaps, perfectly paired with your 4:20 or 12:00 sessions?!

Early Porcupine Tree-like hypnotic rhythms draw you in before crashing drums set the track into motion. There’s a nostalgic ’90s rock feel to this, but it still creates a sound that is incredibly fresh and immersive. The track blends chord riffs with a reflective angst, a defiance, and an emotional resoluteness that echoes throughout. Tight percussions and humming basslines keep this emotionally alive. There’s a hypnotic relatability to this, a midnight confessional, a sacred cathartic quality to this track. 

The vocals are piercing and emotional. The singer brings his truest voice, without trying too hard to harmonize. It feels rough and unforgivingly punk in style. As the track progresses hypnotically, taking you along with looping guitar rhythms that you could close your eyes and rock along to. It’s a beautiful, immersive flow state.

Eventually, it takes it up a few notches. And we mean, way up. The vocals explode with emotion and despair-laced freedom. An ultimate show of release.

This is clearly a group that knows each other like brothers. A cohesive unit that has a blast doing what they do. Playing perfectly in sync and creating beautiful chaos together. Masterfully loud.
