Xinxiang punk mainstays Pumpkins have always followed their own arrow throughout their careers - slowly but steadily expanding their sound whilst retaining the grit, charisma, and sincerity that made them so endearing in the first place. Their latest LP Xinxiang Boys - a reference to the industrial hometown that shaped them - shows the band firing on all cylinders and using all the tools before them - giving their raw punk sound its hard-earned ethos while indulging their newfound psychedelic kick to give their tracks a woozy, sweaty exuberance that’s intoxicating. A rip-roaring ode to rock and roll in all its mania and allure - the band is in town courtesy of FENDER and will be throwing a ‘not-so-secret’ show at OKOK late this Friday, performing a staggering 90-minute set.
