On DYTYR? Dutch punk rock crusaders Bongloard emerge as a formidable unit whose sound reveals a love for myriad movements and styles. “Another Now” brandishes a roaring chorus that would make The Wipers proud, while “Number Nine” flirts with Black Sabbath’s arcane guitar squalls. “Suits” and “Man Up!” capture the obstinate, ruthless impact of Fugazi, IDLES and Shame. On “Famous Lost Words” and the white-hot title track, Bongloard dust off their precious fuzz pedals, resulting in two love letters to garage punk heroes like Ty Segall and OSEES. The X-factor that binds these songs together is an undeniable pop immediacy, saturated with melodies and hooks that will ring between your ears for days on end. While People Overreacting To My Behavior channeled a feverish and introspective energy, DYTYR? has become a more outward-venting album where raw power and daredevil hijinks are in glorious abundance. This is Bongloard as we’ve come to know ‘em: a band causing a happy stir in every situation and subjecting many stages to thorough renovation. Those chronic cravings for fun and excitement are often anchored in less pleasant emotions; yet Bongloard no longer allow themselves to be overpowered by them, bluntly pointing the middle finger to all obstacles in their path. On “Do You Think You're Ready?” Bongloard blaze an escape route from those crippling doubts and fears – paving the way to the best version of yourself.
