La Neve Unleashes “Rough Music”

La Neve, the dance-punk project of Rhode Island-based musician, organizer, and historian Joey La Neve DeFrancesco, is set to release their gripping new History Solved EP this Friday, April 15. A special 200-copy limited edition vinyl pressing of the History Solved EP has just been announced with the pre-order also going up on April 15. It will be released as a set of two 7″ records on June 7 via Radical Empathy Records. 

Propulsive percussion drives “Rough Music,” the final album cut unleashed today. “Rough Music” is the most minimal of the EPs singles. A lone bass guitar and kick drum guide the verses, before launching into fully orchestrated dance-punk on the choruses. The track’s lyrics center on its namesake “Rough Music,” a term that refers to the folk tradition of holding parades that would mock powerful people–such as bosses or political leaders–with abrasive sound.
