With second single “Shout Louder”, common goldfish confirms his place in the old-school indie world

Trying to cement yourself within a genre is hard enough as it is, but the task is doubly hard when it’s a sound and style that’s been around for decades and just about every iteration of it already exists. However, that shouldn’t put anyone off. The enduring success of acoustic singer-songwriters or sugar coated pop artists should be enough to convince you of that.

The track kicks off with some overly saturated riffs and double-time drums, reminiscent of 90s skate punk before giving way to a more full-time feel. The single balances a line somewhere between melodic punk and the more hard-edged approach of hardcore, including a pretty gnarly breakdown section that transitions effortlessly into a beautiful, instrumental outro.
