Life sucks sometimes. People suck too. Reality tastes more like a capitalistic nightmarish dystopia than rainbow and unicorns. Life can be very unkind, and we all get hurt. Certain things need to be said. Truth can be ugly and harsh, Like No Tomorrow is an attitude, their music has a spine. They don’t sugarcoat or run away. Aggressive and hard-hitting, they push a full dose of black punk dissolved in industrial grunge into your ears.

Dialed In maintained a uniformed voice, being more than ever infectious and darkly cathartic. Give-it-all scream shour sing calls on its primal instinct. As soon as the music hits, their raw, blood-boiling energy blots out the light and thickens the air. Like No Tomorrow is restless and eclectic. They make everyone on the verge. Just imagine seeing those guys live! It’s already a blast in the ears.

Taking no bullshit, popping all the bubbles. But are they hateful and vengeful? Not at all. Destructive-constructive is their aesthetic. “Not a Pleasure” sheds light on mistreatment and shady behaviors. Angsty and confrontational. Giving those shitty encounters a public execution is just what they deserve. If you ever being treated unfairly by someone, whether it is personal or professional, this song is for you. Some people are nice, but there are definitely those who just here to ruin your day. “it’s not a pleasure meeting you” is exactly what needed to be said.

“Wasted Potential” is about negativity and put downs. Probably the most vulnerable of all in Dialed In, but highly relatable. it tackles the harms and damages others leave you through their words. Often so easily. “Wasted Potential” is wrenching and angsty, like an earthquake that shakes the ground so intensely. These guys really tear the wounds open and show you the hard truth that perpetrators just don’t want to care.

“You’re On Your Own” draws from a combination of influences with more impressionistic soundscapes. From here, Like No Tomorrow seems to expand and experiment on top of punk. The sonics are gold in this song—it drills on the exhaustion, anxiety and fear and experiences of spinning out of control. The lyrics also have a message for execution and making changes. Yes, at one point, you just gotta stop whining and get up.

The characters and themes Like No Tomorrow crafted are down to earth. Their lines keep hitting harder and harder. “Johnny Scum” is about that friend who pretends to be your friend but stab you in the back, like the snake who bites the hands that saved it. “HTF” takes a melodic spin on the nightmarish nature of life. With “Nothing On Me,” the record ends on a tumultuous note about greed and betrayal. Like No Tomorrow’s lyricism adheres to their honesty and crudeness, but they also have the depth and poetry of life. You have to admit, all their songs are pretty incredible.
