It’s rare these days to find a band who really blow a genre wide open. However, with emo, Arkansas’ Nouns are tearing the textbook to shreds while simultaneously standing on their heads. “Soccer Ball,” one of twelve nuggets of actual insanity from their sophomore cassette Still, is anything but content with sitting around. In fact, it screams and shouts; having been force-fed a diet of raw artificial additives, Brand New’s Your Favourite Weapon, Wolf Eyes and Black Dice. Brace yourself for this one.

“Soccer Ball” begins with crunchy riffs and a lo-fi sheen—two signature staples of 90s indie rock that aren’t exactly going to make waves. But what happens next is entirely unexpected: the track launches itself into this outrageous, wailing chiptune segment; bleeping and blooping its way under a ferocious scream. It’s jarring, genuinely exciting stuff, and Nouns are only just getting started.

Before you can even process what’s just happened, the band pull a u-turn and career themselves off a cliff into a sea of mosh pit friendly pop-punk. Imagine being in a time machine that’s out of control and jumping erratically from one year to the next in the blink of an eye. Nouns have nailed the soundtrack to that exact situation. Anyway, just click play below, and allow the ginormous grin that instantly starts brewing under your lips to take over completely before spinning the rest of the album over on Bandcamp.
