Bliss Foxx Tore Through Alt-Rock Apathy with Grunge-Tinged Venom in ‘Stretch’

Stretch by Bliss Foxx is a viscerally infectious outpouring of pure grunge-tinged furore that picks up where Hole left off and catapults the sound into the future of cataclysmically cathartic alt-rock. The angst of the alt-90s still tears its way through the frenetic onslaught of the guitars that were never strung to know mercy as they chug to the blistering rhythm section, but there’s nothing retrograde about the fury in this release. Instead of choking the hit with nostalgia, Bliss Foxx prowled into the pantheon of contemporary alt-rock with all the mainstream appeal and magnetism of Destroy Boys and Amyl and the Sniffers.

The vocals snarl, the momentum thrashes, and the attitude bleeds through every carefully calibrated blow, allowing Stretch to prove their capacity to write with venom while making it stick in your […] The post Bliss Foxx Tore Through Alt-Rock Apathy with Grunge-Tinged Venom in ‘Stretch’ appeared first on A&R Factory.
