Times New Viking
Stay Awake (EP)

Available Now
Sometimes noise can be so good. On Stay Awake, lo-fi noisemakers Times New Viking produce five tracks of racket soaked in dissonant, drunken sing-along vocals and manic punk rock fury. The Midwestern threesome doesn’t attempt any new territory, but the bombastic romps—“Pagan Eyes” and “Sick & Tyred” in particular—are way too fun for that to matter. With no track reaching beyond the three-minute mark, by the close of Stay Awake you may not know what just happened, but you’ll be pretty sure it rocked.
