After a hiatus since their last single in 2021, Mumbai-based punk rock band PUNK ON TOAST makes a striking comeback with ‘The Descent’. Known for their high-energy sound, sharp lyricism, and socially charged themes, the band continues to push creative boundaries with this latest release.
“After our last release, we took a step back to make sense of everything happening around us. Shantanu joined in on drums, and we got back into the rehearsal space. We wanted to slow down, live a little, and come back with something that truly felt honest. The Descent came from that time. It’s about losing control, hitting the lows, and finding clarity through it all. That break reminded us why we started making music in the first place.”
Marking a bold evolution in their sound, The Descent sees Punk On Toast drawing inspiration from pop-punk icons like Blink-182 and New Found Glory. Venturing into uncharted territory, the band blends infectious melodies with their signature intensity, adding a dynamic new layer to their musical repertoire.
Lyrically, The Descent delves into the internal turmoil of witnessing everything unravel—whether in relationships, personal identity, or the broader world around us. Combining introspective storytelling with electrifying instrumentation, the song channels frustration, irony, and fleeting hope.
“This song is about that feeling when things start slipping away, and you can’t do much to stop it,” says frontman Aditya Naik. “It’s about facing the weight of past mistakes while clinging to the last shred of optimism.
