Angel Du$t, a trailblazing punk and hardcore band, has released their highly-anticipated album, BRAND NEW SOUL, through Pop Wig Records today. Heralded for their genre-bending style, the album weaves elements of rock & roll, hardcore, and inventive production techniques into a one-of-a-kind sonic journey.
Produced by the band’s frontman, Justice Tripp, and featuring contributions from esteemed musicians, BRAND NEW SOUL has already captured the attention of major outlets like Pitchfork, Stereogum, and Revolver Magazine.
The album is a milestone in Justice Tripp’s near two-decade-long musical career, a testament to his innovative vision for the hardcore genre. Tripp was first known for pioneering a new wave of heavy hardcore with his earlier project, Trapped Under Ice, before establishing Angel Du$t as a vehicle for broader musical explorations. BRAND NEW SOUL is a celebration of rock music’s vast spectrum, earning praise for its adventurous approach and laying down the gauntlet for what hardcore music can be.
The new record kicks off a global tour that will take Angel Du$t from the UK to Southeast Asia, Australia, and a comprehensive North American circuit. Supported by acts like Candy, Bib, Restraining Order, and Steve Marino, the band promises a string of electrifying performances that align with the groundbreaking spirit of their latest release.
The new album comprises 13 tracks, blending different rock sub-genres into a cohesive experience. Titles like “Brand New Soul” and “Love Slam” embody the fusion of punk speed and R&B swagger, reinforcing the band’s hardcore roots while pointing to broader musical horizons. Tripp, acting as the album’s producer, emphasized the project was about “zero compromise” and giving oneself over “completely to what you’re doing.”
Angel Du$t’s BRAND NEW SOUL is set to redefine the boundaries of the punk and hardcore scenes. Critics agree that this offering places the band and its visionary leader, Justice Tripp, at the forefront of the genre’s evolution. With a worldwide tour underway and a record that defies categorization, Angel Du$t is a band operating at the height of its creative powers.
