Melbourne post-punks BENCH PRESS will release their debut, self-titled album via Poison City Records on August 25th. Today, the band release single ‘Burning Up’: a sparse and irresistible insight into their LP.

‘Burning Up’ is a slow-burner, a gurner, all heavy bass and sharp, striking clean guitars. It is pared back in the most confronting way, but no less mesmerising or catchy for it. The occasional call-and-response vocals are haunting. Meandering lead parts exasperated yet powerful. An appeal to reason. Don’t lose your cool! Just build up!
