A straight, pounding drum beat sends the track racing forward while Rose piles on dirty distortion and chunky power chords, with a ripping guitar solo adding to the chaos. The Motörhead influence cited by the band genuinely comes through in its gritty rock ’n’ roll drive, leaving pop-punk polish firmly at the door. From behind the kit, Matilda delivers the lead vocal with a sneer, making the frustration behind the song impossible to miss.

The accompanying video keeps things equally uncomplicated, cutting between Yee Loi tearing through the track and simply goofing around together. It perfectly suits a band arguing that music shouldn’t need endless additional content to justify its existence. Raw, fast, catchy and delivered with zero fuss, ‘Social Suicide’ makes a convincing case for simply plugging in and letting the song do the talking.

From its punchy guitar riffs to its no-nonsense energy, ‘Down In The Bunker’ wears its classic punk influences proudly, recalling the infectious spirit of bands like The Ramones and The Damned. The story takes centre stage, unfolding with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour that perfectly complements the band’s straight-ahead approach, while the accompanying DIY video only amplifies its playful personality.

With its blend of campy horror and infectious punk attitude, ‘Down In The Bunker’ feels like the soundtrack to a brilliantly chaotic teen horror-comedy. Equal parts imaginative and irresistibly fun, it’s another reminder that punk doesn’t always have to take itself too seriously to leave a lasting impression.
