In a world where music sometimes feels too polished, too predictable, it's bands like Doubt that remind us of the raw, unfiltered power of hardcore punk. Hailing from the hardcore hotbed of Baltimore, Doubt has been making waves with their intense sound and uncompromising attitude. Now, with their recent signing to Get Better Records and the release of their latest single "Delusion," Doubt is poised to unleash their fury on a wider audience.
"Doubt are a new Baltimore hardcore band that just signed to Get Better Records, and their new song 'Delusion' whips every conceivable variety of ass," as aptly described by a music critic. The band's journey began with their demo in 2022, followed by a split EP with Philadelphia powerviolence band Harm Assist. However, it's their latest offering that truly showcases their relentless energy and musical prowess.
Produced with CORPUS engineer Aidan Elias, "Delusion" is a sonic assault characterized by dark, sludgy guitars and visceral vocals by vocalist Claire Abila. The lyrics dive deep into themes of self-reflection, pain, and resilience, delivering a message that resonates with the intensity of their sound.
While No Doubt may be grabbing headlines for their Coachella performance, it's Doubt who are capturing hearts with their uncompromising hardcore spirit. Drawing inspiration from boundary-pushing bands like Trash Talk and Ceremony, Doubt's music is a testament to the vitality and creativity of the Baltimore music scene.
With "Delusion" paving the way, Doubt's upcoming album promises to be a fierce declaration of their identity and musical vision. It's a reminder that in a world of doubt and uncertainty, music can be a powerful force of catharsis and empowerment.
So, buckle up and dive into the blistering world of Doubt and a visceral journey through the unfiltered emotions of hardcore.
