Here’s a modern rarity for Warm Visions – posting rock music. Raleigh’s Truth Club recently signed to Double Double Whammy and are soon to release their upcoming album Running From The Chase on October 6. I have a bunch of triangle-based friends that are friends with folks in this band, but I hadn’t listened to their music until seeing them at SXSW this past March. Sorry! They were really damn good. Their strain of noise rock / post punk / 90s-referencing alt rock (or their Bandcamp-provided genre tag “rare earth metal”) stirs up a chaotic fervor that I place with bands like Ovlov, Pile or Weed – three bands that have made records that contain moments that propel me to new heights whenever I listen. There are other bands that sound similar, but just based on the tracks I’ve heard, I put them in my highest tier of raucous, emotional catharsis.

Their newest single, “Exit Cycle” is a builder; with instrumental and dynamic swells, sounding like smoldering coals that rise into a raging fire by the end of the track, with staggered group vocals twisting together with staircase-climbing guitar lines. It’s a track that feels constantly searching for the majority of it, and feels like it hits a level of peace and acceptance by the end, surging forth with newfound confidence.

I’m really dang excited for this record. I don’t find that happening with me and rock records that much anymore. Shout out to Truth Club. Running From The Chase is out Oct 6 via Double Double Whammy.
