Today we are extremely excited to bring you the premiere of Winnipeg-based punk rockers Pink Snot’s debut album! The album is called Dead Messenger and features 12 tracks that will have you contemplating mortality, identity, capitalism, and the state of the world as you mosh. From start to finish you are sucked into the world the band has created, completely engrossed in the story they are telling. Speaking about the concept behind the album, lead vocalist, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist Katie McNorgan said,
”“Dead Messenger” is about an unnamed protagonist who ultimately meets there untimely demise in early adulthood. Their spirit travels back in time to forewarn their younger self of the future dangers that await them such as tricksters, frauds, de facto rulers, idiocy running rampant in society, profit over people becoming the norm, hatred, corruption, etc.
All the lyrics are from the opinions & experiences of the dead soul manifesting to the young man in his dreams, sometimes nightmares.”
