The buzzy, Toronto-based sibling duo behind Softcult redefine what it means to be a modern grunge band with their new song ‘Pill to Swallow’ –– a striking first transmission from their just completed debut full-length.
The track is peak Softcult––a searing, shoegaze anthem that confronts our world’s most uncomfortable truths with an almost-eerie clarity. At their core, this is a band with something to say and every intention of it saying it loud.
The band says of the track: “‘Pill To Swallow’ is a rallying cry for everyone feeling particularly exhausted and burned out by the current state of the world. It’s a reminder to keep pushing for and believing in positive change. As impossible as it can feel sometimes, we can’t allow the current social and political climate to jade us. Even when we feel hopeless and disenfranchised, we can’t slip into apathy or we let the oppressors win.”
