Hookworms are picking up exactly where Eagulls left us earlier this year, ravaging ears the world over with a ferocious and infectious new track called ‘The Impasse’.

Fuzz cakes this track like a child clinging to their Mum on the first day of kindergarten. It’s affectionate, but if you try and detach either from another, you’ll only be met with wailing and claws.

Without even clocking in at 3 minutes, Hookworms manage to exhilarate and thrill, shouting and careening in the same way their contemporaries Perfect Pussy and Savages have done before.
It’s a hurtling rollercoaster that’s for sure, and if it’s any indication of Hookworms’ upcoming record The Hum (set for release November 7th), then the world is in for a mean ride.
