Vancouver four-piece Dumb have shared their new single, “Beef Hits,” taken from their forthcoming album Club Nites, out on June 7 via Mint Records. It’s been less than year since they signed to Mint, which also put out their previous full-length, 2018’s Seeing Green.
This saxophone-laced punk tune is equipped with a snotty lyrical shrewdness and crystalline production style to counteract the band’s scrappy energy that can’t be curtailed. There’s a sense of detachment from Franco Rossino’s matter-of-fact vocal stylings, but their lyrics couldn’t be more in the thick of things as Dumb throw a few punches at the utter shenanigans of modern late-night social happenings (“You’re only here to improve your public face”).
