Los Angeles by way of New Jersey punks Ho99o9 (horror) will release their third album, Tomorrow We Escape, on September 9th.
A true amalgamation of all the band’s influences; experimental, hip-hop, digital, hardcore, future-facing punk, metal, jarring industrial and off-kilter electronics—the album is their most emotional offering to date, rooted in personal struggle and triumph. “When we started this process, we knew we wanted to make more relatable songs,” says theOGM. “It was a healthy challenge to focus on emotion. In the past, a lot of our material was politically charged. That element is present to a degree, but we wanted to take a more personal route. This mindset drove how we wrote songs. Everybody has a struggle. The goal is to find motivation for preservation.”
Today, the band shares the album’s lead single Upside Down, a neck-snapping blend of warped guitars, woozy melodies, and driving bass-lines.
