London noise-rock quartet USA Nails play the Brudenell Social Club in Headingley, Leeds, with their new album 'Routine Flesh'.
USA Nails play Brudenell Social Club on Thursday 18 February, their first Leeds date since their last visit. The London noise-rock quartet are touring their new album, Routine Flesh, which comes out on 12 February via One Little Independent Records — and SKiN GRAFT Records in North and South America — so the show arrives just six days after the record hits the shelves.
Across twelve tracks, Routine Flesh is preoccupied with mortality and the things that shape us: the bodies we inherit, the beliefs we absorb, the environments we grow up in and the experiences that leave marks. Ageing, religion, healthcare, trauma, isolation, love and online radicalisation all feed in. Musically, it pushes at the edges of the sound the band has spent more than a decade pulling apart and putting back together. Distorted bass, dissonant guitars, barked and deadpan vocals and pounding rhythms remain at the core, alongside moments of motorik repetition, blown-out fuzz and wiry post-punk, plus some of their most direct and unexpectedly tender material.
