Texture Freq releases "So What? It's The Future"

originally published: 09/01/2024

Texture Freq has released "So What? It​'​s The Future", a new song from the upcoming release "What May Come" on Dirt Cult Records. In a sadomasochistic dance of torment and catharsis, Texture Freq beckons listeners into a world where pain is pleasure and dissonance is beauty.

Hailing from South Minneapolis and integrating influences across the hardcore spectrum, two guitars ebb with and against each other over a pulsing rhythm section to bring the listener and viewer something altogether raw, yet multifaceted, flexible, yet uncompromising. With the addition of lyrics honing in on masculinity, gay sexuality, and power, Texture Freq, never satisfied, weaves a complex of erotic self-awareness, visceral embodiment, and discontent.

Dirt Cult Records was started in 2006 in Las Cruces, NM, spent 8 years in Portland, OR and is now in San Antonio, TX. They release punk and hardcore records from around the world.
