London trio BERRIES have returned with their fantastic new cut, ‘Watching Wax’. It’s a blurry cut filled with punky energy and angular, staccato guitar lines that clatter into bass lines that splinter outwards. Drums thump beneath a stinging vocal delivery, creating a tense atmosphere that is simultaneously memorable and catchy in its mixture of garage rock and Riot Grrrl influences. The track “is about escaping your worries for the day and attempting to give your mind a rest. The lyrics touch on fears for our future selves, looming anxieties that you can’t suppress and the desire to have a perfect day without your daily stormy thoughts.” The band are gearing up to release their self-titled new album on October 18th, 2024. -Dan Peeke
