EXCLUSIVE VIDEO STREAM OF 'CARRY ON SCREAMING' THANKS TO THE SLEEPING SHAMAN
www.thesleepingshaman.com/streams/pound-land-carry-on-screaming/

'Defeated' is the third album by the Stockport-based duo POUND LAND (Nick Harris and Adam Stone).

Recorded in most part over the first half of 2022, 'Defeated' comprises eight intense tracks spanning forty minutes, opening with the visceral doom-realism of 'Violence' and ending with the post-punk audio-travelogue of 'Zones'.

Pound Land push their post-industrial kitchen-sink drama preoccupations even further on 'Defeated', exploring the dark comedy of everyday life in the dismal land of eternal recession. Sometimes the vision expands out of shitty Britain too, 'Drone' recounting the wearied observations of an electronic device as it traverses the globe.

You've got to laugh, because if you don't you'll kill yourself. Or somebody else.

"a bleak, suffocating document of everything that’s wrong right now."
- Aural Aggravation auralaggravation.com/tag/pound-land/

"2022 has been a great year for misanthropic artists, due to the never ending well of inspiration that can be drawn from the modern world. And, having already releasing one immense tape this year, Poundland prove this by adding sludge and blues into the mix as well as lyrics that combine both the mundane and surreal. Two excellent releases from Stockport’s finest this year. Vive le Poundland!"
- Predominance 23, The Pensive Quill www.thepensivequill.com/2022/11/predominance-23.html

"an album that understands that the second half of the phrase “post-punk” is the word “punk.”"

This album is one ridiculously massive inundation of relentless, rampaging, punkish, riff-packed psychedelic noise. An acquired taste that tortures your taste buds until its flavour becomes delicious. muschiosauro

Groovy doomy psych. Black-hole heavy while still being trippy as hell. Reminds me of Gnod, Pigs x 7, Boris, Earthless... among my favorite modern bands, so Bloody Head is in good company. Levrikon
