Aura Bora lash out with lo-fi defiance on scorching single ‘Blinders On’

With a snarl and a shrug, Hawai’i-based punks Aura Bora return with ‘Blinders On’, a driving, no-nonsense anthem that swats away the noise and doubles down on self-belief. Powered by frontwoman Jhune Liwanag’s razor-sharp delivery and the band’s ferocious chemistry, the track is a middle finger to the doubters and a rallying cry for anyone carving their own path.

Born from an offhanded insult hurled at the band, ‘Blinders On’ erupts with punchy guitar hooks courtesy of Ed Panen, Joey Green’s breakneck drums, and Will Adair’s propulsive bass create a bed of bristling energy, while Liwanag tears through the chorus with unwavering conviction.

With their new EP Welcome to Heck on the horizon, ‘Blinders On’ sets the tone in all the right ways. Aura Bora aren’t here to win your approval. They’re here to make noise, and they’re damn good at it.
