Dusk Cannon

Dusk Cannon is punk the way it's meant to be: fast, broke, funny and furious, played like the venue is about to call time. Three chords, a voice that sounds like it's shouting across a car park, and choruses built for a room of strangers to scream back.

After Curfew is twenty songs about love in the hours and places you're not supposed to be — the roof you shouldn't be on ("Roof Access"), the code you shouldn't know ("Gate Code"), the kiss on the stairs ("Stairwell Kiss") and the ten minutes you've got before anyone notices ("Ten Minutes"). Nobody's Boyfriend turns it round: too skint to be what she deserves ("Bus Fare," "Half a Check," "Empty Fridge"), too proud to say so ("Better Without Me," "Your Low Bar"). And Not Trying Hard Enough is the sound of three uniforms, no traction and a queue of people explaining why — "Career Advice," "Exposure Bucks," "Unpaid Lunch," "Try Harder."

Loud, scrappy and on your side, Dusk Cannon is part of Riot Temple, Squaredrum's home for rock, created under human creative direction with AI-assisted music.
