about

'Violence' is the new album from Pound Land - eight filthy tracks of vitriolic desperation recorded by the core duo of Nick Harris and Adam Stone and featuring a number of guest musicians, including Steve Watson of Iron Monkey, Stephen Bradbury (aka Black Tempest) and solo artist Adam Petiss.

'Violence', the band's sixth album, often veers towards a nineties alt-metal/industrial sound, along with the usual smatterings of customary Pound Land abstraction.

In addition, this new album continues to aggressively push lyrical themes relating to the same old shit that seems to be getting worse: corporate hegemony, business culture, mainstream media influence, automation, class polarisation and economic austerity.

"Along with Primitive Knot, Pound Land are making some of the finest heavy music to ever come out of the rainy city. Singles Club was an unequivocally angry and impressive release yet Violence feels like a more focused and apocalyptic offering. Well, if we’re all going to hell in a handcart at least we’ll have a good soundtrack." Andy Brown, Louder Than War, August 2023.

"Like Sleaford Mods, Pound Land’s compositions are built around monotony and repetition, but whereas the former place predominant emphasis on the lyrics, the snappy wordplay and caustic commentary, Pound Land batter and bludgeon repetitive lyrics in the way that Swans did in their early years, and their music is very much a mirror of the crushing effects of drudgery. It does articulate the gut-pulling anguish of the everyday, and in the most direct way possible." Christopher Nosnibor, Aural Aggravation, September 2023.
