Score A/V presents… : Bottle Next. After 15 years of activity, French alternative-rock/indus outfit Bottle Next has undergone a total metamorphosis. Now operating as a powerhouse quintet, the band has stripped away the excess to deliver their most ambitious and “elegant” form to date—without losing an ounce of their signature grit. Their new single “Half Wit” is a calculated missile: a high-octane blend of industrial tension and stadium-sized hooks. It’s the perfect primer for their upcoming EP, ‘Echoes of Life‘ (TBR in 2026), a record that channels the rhythmic of Don Broco, the desert-rock swagger of QOTSA, and the dark, cinematic weight of NIN. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a demolition of their own boundaries. From the raw aggression of Refused to the polished power of Royal Blood, Bottle Next has fused their influences into a sound that is singular, sincere, and undeniably modern. |
