East Coast indie-rock crew ¡Ponce! drop intricate anime inspired “Attack on Titan”

¡Ponce!

East Coast newcomers ¡Ponce!, are a fresh and compelling entrant into the contemporary emo crowd.

With new single “Attack on Titan”, the band’s exuberant lyrical inspiration comes to life, with anime and fantasy worlds informing the trio’s output. The track displays sparkling Midwest emo, abundant with pop sensibility and framed with punctuative math rock guitars.

You don’t have to look far beyond the band moniker (taken from 00’s cult cartoon Clone High) and the title of debut EP – ¡Ponce! are…(The Wizards of Time & Infinity) – to comprehend the Connecticut outfit’s fantastic thematic influences and lyrical references. Tales of mystery and magic are grounded in the band’s defined, technically proficient brand of modern rock.

Whilst the rookie collection gave fans a first look at the trio’s intricate sonic stylings, the new material doubles down on the ¡Ponce! soundscape.

Resonating math rock guitars are imbued with hooky Midwest emo tones on latest single “Attack on Titan”. The expressive track drops a potent blend of urgent and melodic, disarming the angular math rock guitars with a deft pop sensibility.
