Spirits Republic is going rough on their sixth single, “Brain Poke,” but it doesn’t mean they allow other things to fly under their noses. “Brain Poke” marks the heaviest single the Nashville-based alternative rock trio ever released, but they are also more than ever keen-spirited and intricate. Being loud, heavy, and grungy has everything to do with attitude, not their craft. They sing their hearts out on this release, with every instrument in soaring mode.

Spirits Republic take listeners on the wildest ride so far, journeying into unknown land os sonics. Unpredictable, captivating. There’s haunting daze evoked by the percussive motion, spiraling deeper and deeper into their wormhole of imagination “Skin it starts to peel, flesh is at your heels,” a fetish, horror-infused psychedelic imagery flies out from nowhere. “Soon as you spoke, brain has gotten poked.”

“Brain Poke” is a whole other level of vibration, echoing in your head with loud clangs and impossible heavy soundscapes. Curiosity meets a tight grip, vividly transforming to something else. “Brain Poke” is one of the songs from their upcoming EP Sleeper, scheduled for May 19 release. Stay tuned with the band.
