Pest Control

About

Pest Control is the sonic embodiment of rebellion, a band that thrives on chaos and channels it into blistering, genre-defying music. Hailing from the UK, their sound is a volatile cocktail of hardcore punk, post-punk, and noise rock, laced with raw energy and biting social commentary. Drawing inspiration from bands like Fugazi, The Fall, and IDLES, Pest Control crafts songs that are as confrontational as they are cathartic, with lyrics that dissect societal ills and personal struggles with unflinching honesty. Since their formation, Pest Control has carved out a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the underground scene. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut EP, which garnered critical acclaim for its ferocious intensity and sharp wit. Tracks like "Don’t Test the Pest" became anthems for a disenchanted generation, earning them a loyal following and slots at major festivals. Culturally, Pest Control stands out for their DIY ethos and refusal to conform to industry norms. Their music is a rallying cry for the marginalized, blending abrasive riffs with incisive storytelling. Collaborations with artists like Gilla Band and Sleaford Mods have further cemented their status as boundary-pushers. Currently, Pest Control is working on their highly anticipated debut album, set to release later this year. With recent singles hinting at a more experimental direction, the band continues to evolve while staying true to their roots. In a world of sanitized soundscapes, Pest Control remains a necessary jolt of raw, unfiltered energy.
