EP Review : BruceBan$hee – “Teenage Angst”
BruceBan$hee’s Teenage Angst is an electrifying collision of punk fury and alt-rap defiance — a record that bleeds youth, chaos, and catharsis from start to finish. Across its eight tracks, BruceBan$hee channels frustration, heartbreak, and restless energy into a sonic riot that feels both reckless and deeply human. It’s a raw diary of emotion disguised as an adrenaline-fueled performance.
The opener “Finger Food” explodes like a punch in the chest. Distorted guitars crash into pounding drums, setting the tone for what’s to come — unfiltered rage and brutal honesty. BruceBan$hee’s snarling flow feels like an emotional purge, a declaration of his refusal to conform or hold back.
Next up, “WooHoo!” thrives on sarcasm and manic energy. It’s a chaotic anthem for those masking pain with laughter, where hooks and humor blend into defiant confidence. The tension between self-destruction and swagger makes it one of the most addictive cuts on the EP.
“Dark Woods” slows the tempo, swapping aggression for atmosphere. Haunting melodies and moody beats pull listeners into a more introspective space. Here, BruceBan$hee shows his vulnerability — exhaustion, isolation, and the quiet ache that lingers beneath the noise.
With “Snow California” and “FML (Blunts n Gold),” the rebellion roars back. These tracks sound like late-night escapades gone wrong — impulsive, reckless, and strangely liberating. The beats hit hard, the guitars grind, and BruceBan$hee raps like someone sprinting through the chaos of his own thoughts.
“StrawBerry Blues” brings a surprising tenderness. Amid the distortion, a melodic thread emerges, capturing the confusion of growing up and the bittersweet struggle to find peace in imperfection.
Closing the record, “KIDS!” and “Without You” act as emotional bookends — the first an explosion of youthful anarchy, the latter a somber reflection on what’s left when the noise fades. Together, they encapsulate the duality of Teenage Angst: wild freedom and quiet emptiness.
From start to finish, Teenage Angst feels like pure release — messy, emotional, and unapologetically real. BruceBan$hee’s DIY ethos shines through every rough edge and impassioned verse. This isn’t just an EP; it’s a mirror of modern youth — loud, lost, and alive.
