Denver, CO’s Public Opinion are back with a new three-song EP, Perpetual Motion Machine, arriving this fall via their new label, Side One Dummy. The EP is a promising start to the band’s next chapter, drawing more melody out of Public Opinion’s primal punk while keeping the unhinged glint that makes their music so compelling. The EP’s monster opening track and lead single, “Laughing Academy” features guest vocals from none other than Drug Church frontman, Patrick Kindlon. The track bursts from the speakers, careening from swaggering garage rock riffs into a massive chorus, all while vocalist Kevin Hart and Kindlon perform the most pissed-off duet you’ve ever heard. Public Opinion–Hart, drummer Austin Latare, guitarists Kevin Johnson and Brent Liseth, and bassist Sebastian Stanley–emerged from the Denver, Colorado, hardcore scene in 2020 and have evolved from spunky proto-punks into an anthemic rock & roll powerhouse. Perpetual Motion Machine follows the band’s debut album, Painted On Smile, which came out last year and drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more. The new songs were recorded by Christian Gutierrez and mixed/mastered by Brett Romnes (Anxious, Oso Oso, I Am The Avalanche) and they pick up where Painted On Smile left off, dialing up the band’s catchy and confrontational blend.
