Punk Bands Like Irrevocable Should Be Shared Far And Wide – New EP Out Now [Philippines]

Philippines-based punk band Irrevocable has once again taken the punk rock genre to new heights with their latest EP “Generational Curses” out now.

With thought-provoking lyrics, a unique blend of punk, doom, blackgaze, and chaotic hardcore and raw, DIY production, this record truly showcases the band’s talent and creativity. The members of Irrevocable have poured their hearts into this release and it shows in every track. From the powerful anthem “Generational Curses,” to the touching tribute “For John and Robert,” to the playful “Boogeyman,” there is something for everyone on this EP.

The titular single, “Generational Curses,” is a fiery, punk-inspired track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The five songs on “Generational Curses” explore themes of questionable beliefs and behaviors passed down from previous generations that are unfortunately being accepted as normal. From bullies and catcallers, to lives lost for greed and pointless causes, to blind followers who cannot decide for themselves, Irrevocable tackles important topics with their signature raw, passionate, and sincere sound.

Lead singer Lenian explains, “it’s not your fault if you grew up in an abusive household, if you were raised by a cult, or if you believed in lies. You can still make the world a better place to live in if you try to break those generational curses. Oh, and yeah, Boogeyman is about our cats. Hehe.”

The band’s musical approach on “Generational Curses” is a natural progression from their previous album, “Where Is Home.” With some of the songs written right after they recorded their debut, Irrevocable has expanded their sound and incorporated longer, more dynamic tracks into the EP. Guitarist Tani notes, “we didn’t do anything too crazy on this one though the songs on ‘Generational Curses’ are noticeably longer compared to ‘Where Is Home’.”

With “Generational Curses,” Irrevocable continues to push the boundaries of punk rock, incorporating elements from diverse influences into their sound. The band’s eclectic tastes make for a unique and powerful listening experience, and fans are sure to be blown away by this new EP.

“The majority of the songs in this record are about questionable beliefs and behaviors passed down from previous generations that are unfortunately being accepted as normal ways of life by some.

“You Know You’re Not Sorry” is about bullies and catcallers, who give half-assed apologies when they get called out. “For John and Robert” is about lives that were lost for greed and pointless causes. And lastly, “Generational Curses” is about blind followers who cannot decide and think for themselves.

It’s not your fault if you grew up in an abusive household, if you were raised by a cult, or if you believed in lies. You can still make the world a better place to live in if you try to break those generational curses.

Oh, and yeah, Boogeyman is about our cats. Hehe”

“Musically, it’s more of a natural progression from ‘Where Is Home’. Some of the songs on it were written right after we tracked the first record. We didn’t do anything too crazy on this one though the songs on ‘Generational Curses’ are noticeably longer compared to ‘Where Is Home’.

Due to the pandemic, it was decided that we had to learn how to record on our own. Josh would take over mixing and Keith from Tidal would master. I think it worked out well.

As for plans, pretty much the same. Play as many shows as we can but we do want to do more fly dates this year if possible. Hope it works out!”

“All output up to the mixing phase of the record came straight out of our bedrooms during the pandemic. All sounds came 100% from us without any intervention from outside of the band. All concerned initial frequencies tweaked individually by each member according to taste, or lack thereof. I feel this record is the most “us-sounding” work we have done so far. I am super excited for this release.”
