On their kick­ass de­but LP, Ham­burg group Night Punch present a tight-as-fuck melange of slight­ly goth-lean­ing, hor­ror-themed garage-, synth- and post punk that some­times cranks its tem­po up in­to hard­core spheres, oth­er times be­ing rem­i­nis­cent of a ba­sic Spits for­mu­la spiked with plen­ty of sur­pris­es and un­ex­pect­ed flour­ish­es for an over­all equal­ly quirky and dark aes­thet­ic which is sure to please dark punk-, death rock- and dun­geon afic­i­na­dos all the same. Fur­ther pos­si­ble ref­er­ences would be a num­ber of garage- and synth punk acts like The Gobs, Liq­uid Face, Shrinkwrap Killers, Bro­ken Prayer, Droids Blood, Iso­tope Soap, the un­fil­tered thrust of Exwhite, maybe even a hint of Acrylics in the rougher patch­es.
