SEXTILE 'Push'

Since emerging in 2015, SEXTILE have been a party-provoking force on the LA underground, capable of kicking up a riot with the raw-edged squall of a synth or the sharp-elbowed jerk of a guitar. SEXTILE are now ready to rage with a serotonin-boosting new album, a new group dynamic, faster BPMs, and an even wilder new direction. Recorded in Yucca Valley, 'Push' bounces and bops at the fringes of hardcore dance music, with the hallmarks of drum & bass, gabber and trance illuminating the record like glowsticks at a ‘90s Fantazia rave. 'Push' was inspired by the kind of pleasure-seeking music fans whose social calendar comprises both the punk show and the rave. Josh Wink, Iggy Pop, Goldie, and early XL Recording shave all been name checked as influences on 'Push', and the dancefloor remains a constant presence. There are still nods and “hellos” to the caustic post-punk of SEXTILE’s earlier work. SEXTILE haven’t relinquished their punk credentials, they’ve just given them a smiley-faced revamp.
