New double single from hardcore post-punk trio Sonic Punter
Finnish post-punk trio Sonic Punter has released the double single “Vanishing Act / Bronze Lining.” The songs continue the band’s uncompromising line — dark-toned, defiant and raw-energy rebellious rock.
In Sonic Punter’s hands, traditional post-punk takes on an uncompromising and tighly controlled, almost violent form. For that reason, the word hardcore can easily be attached to the band’s musical genre.
Alongside the single release, a sweaty and intensely energetic live video for “Vanishing Act”, directed by Samuel Meren and Mikko Pihkoluoma, was also released. The video is a document of the band where it thrives the most: on stage.
The single’s cover artwork was created by the band’s trusted graphic designer Ville-Veikko Viikilä, who sensitively captures what the band’s music might look like in visual form.
Sonic Punter celebrates the release of the new single on March 21 at the Satujuhlat Festival in Turku and March 27 at Semifinal in Helsinki, after which the band will continue touring throughout the autumn.
The band is also preparing the release of its second album, scheduled for early 2027. Sonic Punter’s debut album “Twin Stranger” was released in 2024.
