proFESSional – Pizza For Breakfast

proFESSional, a brand-new London-based band, released a new track a few days ago. “Pizza For Breakfast” is their first piece of work showcasing raw, powerful, memorable sound. Soundwise, proFESSional combines many different but complementary music genres to depict such rich and luxurious sonic imagery. Perhaps punk rock comes to mind first, but you’ll notice how some of the finest ingredients borrowed from post-punk, garage rock, noise rock, alternative, and grunge found their way into this sonic equation. The band uses all these additional elements as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details to uplift their music to new heights while simultaneously remaining loyal to the primary sonic direction. Therefore, these experimentations with different but complementary music styles resulted in a catchy, engaging, memorable song that will appeal to even the pickiest punk rockers and beyond.

Although the proFESSional cites The Stooges, Sex Pistols, DEADLETTER, Yard Act, and many others as the main source of inspiration, the band sounds fresh, unique, and innovative from scratch to finish. “Pizza For Breakfast” surpasses the classic sound because these folks continuously break the rules and shapeshift boundaries of so many subgenres. As soon as you press play, you’ll notice the perfect structure, garnered with many intricate segments, brilliant ideas, and impressive instrumentations. Each band member plays a significant role in this fine piece of sonic artistry, ensuring nothing but a pleasant listening experience. The colossal wall of sound created by the raw, abrasive, fuzzy, heavily distorted guitars shapes an adequate backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. You’ll hear how the cleverly assembled chord progressions and riffs resonate on one side, while the other shines with various accentuations and sonic maneuvers. In the meantime, the outstanding vocal performance serves as a centerpiece, emphasizing all those segments and orchestration to the max while simultaneously commanding attention and guiding the listening apparatus from scratch to finish.

This song wouldn’t sound this good without a rock-solid rhythm section. You’ll hear how equally complex, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines roar beneath all these instrumentations, offering more than necessary heaviness, clarity, and depth while binding guitars with drums. The exceptional drumming performance based upon expertly assembled, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics keeps everything in line while dictating groove and tempo. proFESSional sounds like an unstoppable rock ‘n’ roll machinery, ready to tear down everything in the wider radius. Their raw, abrasive, honest, direct, powerful, energetic approach to so many underground subgenres will immediately grab your attention and refuse to let go even after the song ends. From excellent vocal performance and cleverly arranged riffs to a profoundly heavy rhythm section, proFESSional deliver modern punk rock music worth spinning over and over again. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
