Dance music and punk culture have flirted in the warehouse before, but the desire of Special Interest is to dismantle genre. 2018’s Spiraling and 2020’s widely acclaimed The Passion Of articulated the group’s style, driven by dance grooves and electronic textures as much as hardcore riffs, but Special Interest expands the vision with Endure, their latest al- bum and first for Rough Trade. Informed not just by the bleakness of the pandemic, but the tremen- dous energy and righteous anger of the summer 2020 uprisings. En- dure sets the intensity of that moment — from the gnawing despair of isolation to the euphoria of human contact and connection — to a driving dancefloor rhythm on No Wave-inflected tracks like “Foul” and “Love Scene.” “Cherry Blue Intention” brings together a sturdy post-punk bassline, shrieking guitar effects, and a jungle breakbeat into a driving anthem of an opening track. New songs like “(Herman’s) House” recall the art rock of Sparks and The B-52s as much as politically-minded punk, and on “Midnight Legend,” the group is more overtly pop than ever before — making something fun during a time of frequent sadness became a central priority.The group directly addresses the issues that surround them, like gentrification and the impending climate apocalypse.There’s a universal resonance to songs like “Concerning Peace,” which takes its hook from a sample of Frantz Fanon, but Special Interest’s music isn’t just a call to action. Biting humor and irreverence intermingle with harsh edges of noise, and there’s always room to dance and sweat. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/239a023dbda5040dd90aec315cf2cf98db5611097788472ecb7d637c9b1af8ba/trustnowave.jpeg" data-mid="151671052" border="0" alt="trust no wave (2021)" data-caption="trust no wave (2021)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/239a023dbda5040dd90aec315cf2cf98db5611097788472ecb7d637c9b1af8ba/trustnowave.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f5cfb8448ae8e2196055bf39af8ab025705387618eca9793740ceb6d3a6b32f/passion-of-remixed.jpeg" data-mid="151671113" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" alt="the passion of: remixed (2021)" data-caption="the passion of: remixed (2021)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f5cfb8448ae8e2196055bf39af8ab025705387618eca9793740ceb6d3a6b32f/passion-of-remixed.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57c855daeacd42457ce39c8940203b937ca91e0fd6970310707a084ad32a09b1/special-interest_the-passion-of.jpeg" data-mid="151671012" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" alt="the passion of (2020)" data-caption="the passion of (2020)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57c855daeacd42457ce39c8940203b937ca91e0fd6970310707a084ad32a09b1/special-interest_the-passion-of.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58cafc869a881217d43d02e4e2dac211b540ef93cf8f61ed8821d958dc126245/spiraling.jpeg" data-mid="151724500" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" alt="spiraling (2018)" data-caption="spiraling (2018)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58cafc869a881217d43d02e4e2dac211b540ef93cf8f61ed8821d958dc126245/spiraling.jpeg" /> .footerNav {background-color:#fff !important} .branding {background-color:#fff !important; padding-top:20px} https://specialinterest.band/news Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:53:49 +0000 special interest https://specialinterest.band/news news Name Email Marketing permission: I give my consent for Special Interest to be in touch with me via email HP social media ︎ .btn {background:#000;color:#fff;padding:0.85em} .footerNav {background-color:#fff !important} .branding {background-color:#fff !important; padding-top:20px} input:focus + .placeholder-text .text, :not(input[value=""]) + .placeholder-text .text{ background-color: white; font-size: 1rem; color: black; transform: translate(0, -170%); } input:focus + .placeholder-text .text{ border-color: #1839ac; color: #1839ac; } .placeholder-text{ position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; border: 3px solid transparent; background-color: transparent; pointer-events: none; display: flex; align-items: center; } .text{ font-size: 1.4rem; padding: 0 0.5rem; background-color: transparent; transform: translate(0); color: black; transition: transform 0.15s ease-out, font-size 0.15s ease-out, background-color 0.2s ease-out, color 0.15s ease-out; } input, .placeholder-text{ font-size: 1.4rem; padding: 0 1.2rem; } } https://specialinterest.band/success Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:57:23 +0000 special interest https://specialinterest.band/success you have signed up successfully!

Their sound is ever-fluid and continues to evolve. Special Interest began in 2016 as a duo with Alli Logout and Maria Elena on guitar, drum machine, and power drill, before Ruth Mascelli (electronics) and Nathan Cassiani (bass) filled out the line-up. Since then the band has grown a cult following and is notorious for its high-intensity live performances. Pitchfork awarded both their 2020 album The Passion Of and their 2022 album Endure the highly coveted Best New Music designation. Endure featured on numerous 2022 End of Year lists including Pitchfork, NPR Music and the New York Times.
