Ask The Unseen. All the great punk bands were literally explosive. And isn’t the reason we listen to music in the first place is to hear passion expressed? The Unseen’s music and lyrics are filled with pent up fear, confusion, lust, guilt, dread, hate, resentment. The Unseen grew up together(the band hails from Boston) went to school together, learned how to play their instruments, wrote songs and formed the group. They’ve toured the World, including the U.S. 5 or 6 times, Japan and Europe, so they have a huge fan base and have sold a lot of records. They play punk rock, mix in hardcore, scream and write great hooks too. It wouldn’t be prudent to call them a political band, or a street punk band, because those terms are too one-dimensional. They’re conscious of what’s really fucked up in the world, from the personal to broader world issues. Now they are poised to capture bigger recognition with their first release on Hellcat Records, State Of Discontent which was produced by The Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey and mixed by Jim Siegel and Brett Gurewitz.Tired of fake hipsterism and mainstream ass kissing? The Unseen rise above it. Remember, Pop music will lull you, punk music is meant to shake you.Previous releases by The Unseen:The Anger & The Truth, Explode
