Made up of twins Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn, Softcult are a band with something to say. Releasing their new single “Drain” which is written about climate change, the duo share their raucous guitar-fuelled sounds with a welcome power. Drawing on the influence of grunge and teaming this with a punk-edge whilst also dropping in shoegaze-y stylings, the pair have created something incredibly astounding. Softcult’s new EP See You In The Dark is out next year via Easy Life Records.
“It’s disgusting how making a profit is a higher priority for those in power than a sustainable environment. Seeing hollow shows of performative “action” from these world leaders and multi-million dollar companies that don’t offer any actual solutions just adds to my frustration, because it feels like we’re being manipulated and lied to in the most disgustingly condescending way.”
