Boots Off! is Angst Party’s Raw and Fiery Rally Cry Against Toxic Thinking

Cards on the table…I might not be totally objective with this one. But hey, local pride runs deep. With that in mind, allow me to introduce you to South African newcomers Angst Party, a four-piece alternative rock outfit who are gearing up for the release of their debut album. 

Boots Off! is a tune that serves as the lead single from said album, and the gritty, funky, and energetic track has quickly become a staple on most of my playlists. It's fierce and fiery and in-your-face, built on punchy riffs and a tight rhythm section. 

Tailor-made for sweat-soaked stages and screaming fans, it's the kind of song that leaves one desperate to experience it live.

Delving into themes of introspection and overcoming inertia, Boots Off! is described by the band as making you want to "wake up and get out of your toxic and harmful thinking patterns". 

A rallying cry for clarity in an age clouded by noise - it's a call to consciousness that feels desperately timely.

While no official date has been provided regarding Angst Party's forthcoming record, I promise to keep you in the loop every step of the way, as Durban's own deliver a debut that could just rattle the rafters from Durban’s backrooms to Long Street and Maboneng.
