Toronto punks Greys put out their sophomore album, Outer Heaven, earlier this year, but they’re back with a stormy one-off single called “Fresh Hell.” It’s the sort of clamoring, chaotic, addicting churn we’ve come to expect from the one-time Band To Watch, and it’s all about politics, as most of their tracks are. Here’s how the band’s Shehzaad Jiwani laid it out:

I wrote the lyrics for this song after hearing about Jian Ghomeshi’s acquittal, and of Rob Ford’s death. There seemed to be a baffling amount of support and sympathy for these public figures who were, for lack of a better term, total pieces of shit. Ghomeshi’s verdict only seemed to reinforce institutional sexism and rape culture, while Ford receiving sort of a hero’s funeral completely ignored all of the ways he negatively affected my city and most of its residents by being a racist, homophobic misogynist. I imagined this Orwellian future where anyone who disagreed with the public opinion was violently assimilated, which I think matches the cyberpunk vibe of the song. Get me off this planet.
