Dear listeners of cool rock sounds,
Punk rock has long defined its audience, its dress code, and its permitted range of emotions: rage, mockery, despair with a raised fist. And you know what’s cool? The fact that Summer Instinct and RUI deliberately ignores all that. Their new track ‘Ashes’ is a powerful, groovy punk rock song with great production and a vivid atmosphere. And what I really like is the track’s concept! ‘Ashes’ is about what happens after intimacy, after a future built together, after all that teenage feeling that you know where you’re going.

The song captures the moment when a shared history stops being a support and turns into a burden. It’s a rare observation for a genre that usually prefers to move forward noisily Summer Instinct stands still and looks back with absolute straightforwardness, which you either accept instantly or find irritating. And you know, that really hits! Be sure to add ‘Ashes’ by Summer Instinct to your playlist so you don’t lose it! Summer Instinct is really worth keeping in focus!
