Charleston’s Electropop Group, Sexbruise? Chronicles Pandemic Woes
Sexbruise?, the innovatively absurd experimental electro-pop band hailing from Charleston, once again made their mark on the music scene, releasing a memorable single that resonates with the COVID-19 pandemic struggles. The group, known for eccentric tracks such as ‘Bop It,’ and ‘Ford Taurus’ has been making waves online and in the Charleston music scene with their unparalleled style and approach to music.
The group, consisting of Julie “J-Dolla Sign” Slonecki, John “Bitcoin” Pope, Stratton “DJ Desktop” Moore, and Will “Blaine” Evans, is prominently known for their fearless attitude when approaching even the most somber of subjects. Their recent endeavor jumped head-first into the pandemic mumblings, as the band crafted a song that encapsulates the widespread feeling of confinement, doom-scrolling, and online shopping hype.
A Music Chronicle of Pandemic Times
The Charleston based band has not shied away from tackling dark subjects. When the pandemic began, they released an EP called ‘Covid-69,’ which featured tracks like “’Rona,” reflecting the collective plea against the virus, and a lively track, “We Don’t Have The Virus.”. When the gargantuan misery began to subside, Sexbruise? released a new anthem, “Fauci Says It’s Ok To Party,” establishing themselves as Dr. Anthony Fauci’s favourite band, according to the song.
Delving into the ‘Supply Chain’
Sexbruise? decided to explore within the pandemic chapters once again, releasing a dance track titled “Supply Chain.” The new song sheds light on lockdown market dynamics, encapsulating within its lyrics the pressure points of online shopping during quarantine times and the ensuing chaos witnessed by consumers and suppliers alike.
Delving deep into the economic theories surrounding supply chains, the band worried about the complexity of their subject matter. However, it was their personal experience with the broken supply chain – a delayed delivery of an essential equipment – that ultimately led them to document the issue in their latest single.
A Song that ‘Rocks’
Frontman, Blaine, expressed a more philosophical insight about “Supply Chain,” insisting that the supply chain, which appears like a complex Rube-Goldberg machine, lacks oversight and is often exploited, leading to environmental and humanitarian issues. With the American marketplace running predominantly on forced labor and pollution, he emphasized the collective addiction to consumption and convenience.
Regardless of the weighty subjects they tackle, Sexbruise?, the electro-pop group from Charleston, continues to resonate with their audience, amassing more than 19,000 followers on Facebook. Hopeful and defiant, they continue to create melody from anarchy, rhythm from chaos.
