Desert Sharks and A Very Special Episode, two
of Brooklyn's favorite underground gloomy
grunge/punk groups, have teamed up for a split
EP!
When approaching the idea of a split record,
Brooklyn underground favorites Desert Sharks
and A Very Special Episode decided they
wanted to follow a loose nature-based theme
for the 4 song release. Inspired by the elements
of air, water, earth, and fire, they literally drew
their alchemical muses from a hat with Desert
Sharks focusing on earth ("Deeper") and water
("Siren Song") and A Very Special Episode
exploring fire ("Smolder") and air ("Airwaves").
The four song release is a captivating sampling
of both bands' powerful songwriting abilities.
Heavy guitars, soaring vocals, and intricate
drumming give listeners a powerful taste of their
punk and doom-soaked sensibilities.
