Hattiesburg, Mississippi synth-punk freaks MSPAINT are one of the best bands we’ve got going right now, and they sound like absolutely nobody else. They attack with hardcore urgency, but their sound has absolutely zero guitar, and sometimes they feel like they’ve discovered a berserker take on pop music that exists only in their minds. They are true American originals. MSPAINT became a Stereogum Band To Watch in 2023, and their full-length debut Post-American was one of our favorite albums of the year. Since then, MSPAINT have done a whole lot of touring, and singer Deedee has guested on tracks like PONY’s “Haunted House (Remix)” and Dazy’s “It’s Only A Secret.” Now, they’ve got a new EP coming, and it will probably be fucking awesome.
