Polyurethane + Superficial Feature

Limited Edition Cassette

From the deepest recesses of Montréal (QC), a burgeoning art punk act by the moniker of Pressure Pin has materialized. April 2022 saw the release of their explosively eccentric debut EP, Superficial Feature, under the expert supervision of producer Standard Emmanuel (Choses Sauvages, La Sécurité). The four songs contained within are as strange as they are invigorating, bursting with youthful confidence and frenetic ‘77 punk energy “that will make you dance the pogo to the rhythm of frantic egg-punk” (Maximum Rocknroll). 

Pressure Pin’s second mini-album, Polyurethane, harnesses the synthetic malfunction of modern urban decay into frantic spasmic echoes from our collective present. This sophomore EP from the Montréal-based egg/art punk outfit is packed with speedy tempos and unnatural rhythms consumed by dissonant synthesizers and fuzzed-out guitar leads. Also produced alongside Smith’s bandmate in La Sécurité, Félix Bélisle a.k.a. Standard Emmanuel, Polyurethane is all at once spastic and technical, sardonic and poetic; a brash if earnest sonic essay effortlessly amalgamating the many offshoots of punk music.
