Force Model share new EP ‘Barricade’

LA noise-pop trio Force Model return with ‘Barricade’, a punchy, emotionally-charged new EP, out now on Bug Body Records. Led by the explosive single ‘How Can One Girl Be So Sad?’, the release captures the band at a point of upheaval, but also reinvention.

Written during a turbulent year that saw the members scattered across New York, Los Angeles, and Japan, ‘Barricade’ channels that chaos into four razor-sharp tracks brimming with grit, melody, and emotional weight. From Edie Vogel’s biting lyricism to Ken Arimura’s relentless drums and Maxwell Moore’s grounding basslines, the EP tightens the screws on their signature sound; equal parts vulnerability and velocity.

Milo Aukerman of The Descendents puts it bluntly: “Barely any streams on platforms, but they drive me crazy.”
