Young Widows unleashes “The Holy Net”, a defiant anthem featuring Evan Patterson’s signature howl and riffage, anchored by the inimitable rhythm section of bassist Nick Thieneman and drummer Jeremy McMonigle. Watch the hellish video, edited by bassist Nick Thieneman. 

The sounds, songs, and passages within Power Sucker are the very reason that Young Widows are still a band after an 11-year creative pause; they remain masters at making music with equal parts sonic and emotional weight. Young Widows have inspired scores of underground artists across the globe with their unique collage of noise-rock, hardcore, and post-punk and pioneering presentations. The Young Widows sound – or more accurately, the Young Widows feel – is in full battering ram motion on their fifth studio album.

The heaviness of Power Sucker isn’t mysterious. The Louisville, Kentucky power trio plays their individual parts with such recognizable precision and style that once entwined together each completed piece becomes an integral part of the puzzle. The sizzling guitars, growling bass, and lock-tight drums rip through the pavement that Young Widows had previously laid to allow the most forward-moving vocal arrangements of their now two-decade career.

Historical accomplishments aside, Power Sucker has the shock and wonder of a new band’s debut album. After all, this is the regrouping of three passionate lifers once again sharing their undying love for the art of sound. No one and nothing can take those powers away.
