Philadelphia Punk Band Prepares Winter LP by Revisiting 2022 Benchmark LP
Philadelphia punk outfit Soul Glo is directing listener attention back toward their 2022 full-length Diaspora Problems across digital streaming services while preparing for the January release of their new LP, NA I’M GON GRAB ALLAT, techbytes.app reported.
The band released two advance singles ahead of the upcoming Epitaph Records rollout, according to techbytes.app. Frontman Pierce Jordan and the group are steering focus toward earlier catalog projects like Songs to Yeet at the Sun and Diaspora Problems to establish their sonic baseline.
Hardcore Instrumentation Meets Hip-Hop Production
Diaspora Problems marked a structural shift away from standard underground subgenre constraints by deploying hip-hop instrumentation directly alongside abrasive punk tempos.
The arrangement then pivots into a half-time stomp rhythm where Jordan screams confronting lines. He alternates between vocal shredding, questions like “Can I live?”, and lyrical declarations about confronting pain directly when it is time to die, theverge.com detailed.
Subsequent tracks accelerate this architectural transformation by introducing digital percussive fixtures within seconds of opening.
Soul Glo Expands Sonic Vocabulary Through Guest Collaborations
The album eventually culminates in “Spiritual Level Of Gang Shit,” featuring guest verses from McKinley Dixon and Lojii over gently echoed guitar melodies and dub-inspired groove, theverge.com stated. Around the 2:20 mark, the guitars turn punishing and the drums shift to a standard hardcore beat before a horn section kicks in nearly a minute later.
Next to contemporary peer bands like Turnstile, Soul Glo demonstrates an uncompromising willingness to take risks and broaden its sonic vocabulary without sacrificing raw aggression, techbytes.app noted. The band maintains availability for streaming across Bandcamp, Qobuz, Deezer, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.
