Baltimore hardcore band Tripper have released their new Faceless EP through Thirty Something Records. Faceless was recorded and mixed by Kevin Bernsten (End It, Full of Hell) at Developing Nations in Baltimore, MD and mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate). The result is four songs that push forth hardcore punk through a modern experimental lens. Drawing from bands like Punch and Gel as much as Every Time I Die and Converge, you’ll hear a tough delivery backed by exploratory, groove-driven rhythms. Lyrics come from vocalist Nic on masking to address disassociation, and breaking destructive habits.
