With an album and an EP under their belt, Dirty Junk has cemented their personal brand of angular punk rock. The band demanded your attention with their sludgy 2019 release On Yr Knees, and now they're back with a music video for their new track, "Undone."
This track is definitely one of Dirty Junk's more unsettling songs. Twinkly, dissonant guitars are broken up by sudden fits of aggression, and vocalist/guitarist Renn Fontana uses decrepit imagery to convey a decaying relationship. Lyrics like "Rotting pools of black and blue / How can we clean this ?" or "Somedays I can decide / Am I the carcass, the maggot, or the fly?" really send the point home. "Undone" feels all-consuming with plodding drums from Ace Robbins mixed with Fontana's guitar. The accompanying music video for "Undone" depicts a falling out between a group of friends over a game of monopoly, which seems oddly fitting. Dirty Junk has the ability to create music that outdoes their last effort, and this new single does this in spades.
