Baltimore-based punk act Pearl share ‘Spiral’, the final preview of their upcoming LP Love And Grief, out 20 April via 20/20 Records.
Pearl was founded in 2018 by Sienna Cureton-Mahoney (vocals) and Tommy Rouse (guitar), with Jesse Hutchison (bass) and Flynn DiGuardia (drums) joining in 2019. The group fuses punk, hardcore, and metal.
The opening track to Love And Grief, ‘Spiral’ sets the stage for the record. Sienna shares the following:
“Spiral’ is a jab in the ribs; quick, intense and unexpected. Instrumentally the drums are relentless, the bass is driving and the guitar melody is cyclical within the chorus, lending itself to the title of the track. Lyrically, the song is all about wading through a sea of chaos, knowing fully that havoc often leads to necessary or positive change. Chaos like this makes me feel like I’m holding my breath underwater. Even though I feel slightly panicked, I know that the first gasp of air is going to be beyond satisfying.”
