Heat Dust

New Orleans four-piece Heat Dust are touring this fall with metal bands Thou and The Body and they’re signed to the trusty label The Flenser, which has put out a handful of metal releases (but also shoegaze, goth, and other dark music). If those things make you think you have an idea of what Heat Dust sound like, they shouldn’t. Their upcoming self-titled album (due 9/25 — pre-order) is attitude-filled post-punk that fans of Total Control or Iceage would probably dig. (Or like, Wire, Joy Division, etc.) So far they’ve got two singles from the album, “Nothing Left to Lose” and “Seeking a Praxis,” the latter of which makes its premiere in this post.

Listen to both, with the artwork, tracklist and list of tour dates (many venues still TBA), below…
