Cut from the same sonic cloth as Siouxie and The Banshees or Joy Division, PAWNS self-released their self-titled 7″ on SoundCloud late last week. The three-tracks cover a range of tempos with distorted guitars that sound the way sheet metal tastes. Bouncing from a frenetic, driving drum pace on the lead track “Technical Age”, the 7″ wraps up with a droning crescendo on “Übermensch”, replete with echoing reverby riffs under the singer’s repeated groans “God is dead.”
