TWIABP... take a hardcore turn

2025-05-28 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 44 Comments
Post-rock emos The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have delved into hardcore punk for their latest single, "Beware of the Centrist".

With a not-particularly-subtle political message, the new song features harsh vocals from guitarist Anthony Gesa and keyboardist Katie Dvorak, along with yelled vocals from frontman David Bello and backing vocals from fellow guitrist Chris Teti. It is not yet known if "Beware of the Centrist" will feature on any upcoming album or be a standalone single.

Yikes...I am NOT feeling this. Sounds like Fisher Price's My First Hardcore Song and Dvorbak's screams are grating imo.

no matter what kind of sound they go for, this band just always sounds so amateurish

Mega mid. Production doesn't quite fit the sound, and I feel like something different could have been done with the leads. The cleans were genuinely terrible, almost completely derailed the song despite only being there for like 5 seconds. I can totally get with the message though and I'm glad that more musicians are starting to speak up this way. Net positive.

Well, certainly not what I was expecting. Unfortunately, not really feeling this at all. Big bummer considering how much I loved their last album..

I guess I appreciate them trying something new, but hoping to not get a full album of this unless that full album is a bit more unique and TWIABP sounding than this

The vocals are fine imo but after the fantastic Illusory Walls this is not at all a direction I hope they go down. It's way too basic and safe...also a bit cringe lyrically

Wow crazy miss for me. Songwriting and lyrics are lazy, screams are just ok, and David sounds horrible on this.

Kudos on trying something new I guess, but this has "cutting room floor" written all over it.

didn't hate it but hopefully it'll be on an EP and they'll continue the trend of their EPs being ass and LPs (mostly) being amazing

Guess they’re really living up to that “when our voices fail us we will find new ways to sing” line.

Not what I was expecting at all, but it at least it is more interesting than that shit Rise Against put out recently. I don't really like it. But at least somebodies cared. Also I really only know their twinkly emo stuff from the earlier day.

I've generally found something to like in all the different sounds these guys have delivered (and I'm probably the only person who rates Always Foriegn as one of their better albums), but this feels really bad. Like, in the sense that it sounds like a not particularly successful hardcore band's early demo.

They _really_ need to just get some hours practicing this style and developing their songwriting ideas for it if they want to actually release songs like this.

The vocals are actually the only saving grace here, they sound decent.
