France’s melodic hardcore outfit STINKY is back, and their new album Solace. Known for blending hardcore intensity with melodic and pop-punk elements, STINKY continues to evolve their sound, introducing formidable breakdowns and anthemic choruses.
The North American release of Solace drops on February 1, 2025, with vinyl and CD pre-orders already live.
Andrew Neufeld of COMEBACK KID lends his voice to the track “Under Care,” bringing raw energy to the song’s mix of ropy verses and a soaring melodic chorus. Pairing with the band’s lazy, drawn-out, signature vibe where the vocals suddenly shift from full-on yelling to actual singing, the song is a nice treat for fans of melodic hardcore.
Meanwhile, the legendary vocalist of SICK OF IT ALL also makes a guest appearance. Apart from the new single, 3 new track are available Check them out below.
The Neufeld collab strikes a balance between melody and aggression, weaving in dual-vocal dynamics that feel both urgent and expansive. The verses carry an intense drive, while the chorus opens up with a melodic clarity that hints at the band’s knack for crafting hardcore anthems.
STINKY, hailing from Nantes, has built a reputation for their seamless blend of melodic hardcore and punk influences, earning them a dedicated following.
The energy on Solace feels like a natural progression for the band, expanding their sonic palette while staying true to their hardcore roots.
