Libyans started playing in Boston in 2007, and have since become a staple in punk communities locally and nationally, playing self-booked shows at basements, warehouses, zine libraries, and other DIY spaces regularly over the years. In 2010, the band released a debut record A Common Place, which they will now follow up with Expired Language in August via Sorry State Records. The first single is “Rite Of Passage,” a hardcore-spirited melodic punk track that conveys a sort of universal rage through its abstract lyricism about subverting societal traditions: “It’s stubborn, blunt, old fashioned, some archaic rite of passage,” shouts singer Liz Panella. “You’ll hear no language only common grunts and double standards.” Below, you can stream the track and check out a video by bassist Aaron DeMuth, too.
