SINGLE 'DARK HUMOR' STREAMING NOW

Chicago, IL's most adventurous punks, LURK, have announced a brand new EP, 'Natural Causes' sent for release on 16th June 2023 via Pure Noise Records.  The first single, 'Dark Humor' is a rhythmical punk rock track about the toxicity of online culture.

"This song is about how toxic of a place the internet can be. It can be addicting yet so terrible for your mental health." says the band.  "People act as if they're shielded from reality when they engage with others on social media but forget that they are talking with real people and that there are real consequences for words.  At the same time, there's this hive mind mentality where people encourage or influence each other to keep that behavior going. Oftentimes what might start out with someone seeking justice and perhaps being in the right, will turn into that person being just as wrong. It's cop behavior. "

The EP is 6 powerful tracks that showcase the bands raw punk rock spirit but with grooves and hooks that will surely capture the attention of fans of The Hives, TV On the Radio or Iggy Pop.

"We couldn't be more proud of this EP as a whole. I truly think it's the best thing we've ever done from the songs to the lyrics to the artwork. The songs are raw and full of energy yet remain catchy and full of hooks which is really the goal of our songwriting.  We really focused on the kind of production we were after and the vibe we wanted to create with this release which resulted in some more raw sounds and darker themes. I think on Natural Causes we were able to balance everything we're about while calling back to some of the things that influenced us to start this band."
