Cusp Shares New Open Tab Single, "I Know" Today

Today, Fire Talk Records' imprint Open Tab has released a new track from Chicago-based artist Cusp.

The four piece's angular and exploratory post punk has made them a buzzy band to watch in their prior home of Rochester, witj the "jagged, propulsive, and anxious music” of debut EP 'Spill' tracing captivating sonic forays. “I Know” sees the band pivot to more straightforward but no less engaging rock music, with heavy guitar riffs juxtaposed with Bender’s melancholic drawl. Making a home within their own niche between the resurgent emo scene and the blossoming creative sphere of Chicago, Cusp continue to craft their own fascinatingly temperamental sound.
