""Rigged Survival" is about the suffocating reality of being priced out of your own life. It's about waking up everyday in a system where your value is in your obedience and output. Even our hobbies, our art and joy have become a luxury most of us can't afford. This song is that crushing feeling that this can't be it, life should have more to it than working a job that destroys you and living with the fear of a medical bill making you houseless."
"Portland hardcore punks Dry Socket have announced that they'll follow their 2024 debut LP Sorry For Your Loss with their sophomore LP, Self Defense Techniques, due March 27 via Get Better Records ( pre-order). The band cites early Ceremony, G.L.O.S.S., and Negative Approach as influences, and if you like that stuff you'll probably like this album's fired-up lead single "Rigged Survival." Here's what vocalist Dani Allen says about it:"
Portland hardcore band Dry Socket will release their sophomore LP Self Defense Techniques on March 27 via Get Better Records, following their 2024 debut Sorry For Your Loss. The band cites early Ceremony, G.L.O.S.S., and Negative Approach as influences. Lead single "Rigged Survival" addresses being priced out of life, obedience-based valuation, and fear of medical bills and houselessness. Musically the single is fast and abrasive with a powerviolence swing that mirrors panic and claustrophobia under extreme economic extraction. The LP tracklist contains eight tracks. The band will tour North America in February and Europe/UK from March into April.
