Stinky: New single available !

STINKY has played over 400 concerts in 15 different countries, completed 4 European tours, released three albums (soon to be 4) and 1 EP.

STINKY – a metallic and at times melodic hardcore band – comes back with a brand-new single “Alignment” from the band’s next album to be released in January 2025. After the catchy, pop-punk-tinged “Moonbow,” released last fall, the band reveals a darker track in June “Down in the Dumps.” Outside of the two-song digital EP ‘Resolve’ released in 2022, inspired and created during the pandemic, it’s been four years since STINKY released their full-length ‘Of Lost Things,’ praised by Outburn for its “solid melodic hardcore/punk that employs notes of Sick Of It All, Parkway Drive and Comeback Kid” while the UK’s Down For Life magazine praised it for its “monstrous anthems and full-on bangers.”

Since the core of drummer Paul and vocalist Clair have recruited 3 new members -- Max on bass and Enzo and Clément on guitars but STINKY remain true to their original mission and sound while expanding the palette created. The band has been active playing shows all over France, including key festivals like Hellfest, Omega Sound Fest, Brut’fier, SidFest, WeMetal Fest, and Nantes Metal Fest as well as getting over to the UK for Manchester Punk Festival, alongside Hot Water Music, A Wilhelm Scream and Tsunami Bomb. While the band's name might seem curious to some, their music – a combustible mix of energy and aggression that the UK's Midlands Metalheads Radio says “makes you feel like you can headbutt through a brick wall” – unquestionably passes the test.

‘Alignment’ is taken from their new album, "SOLACE", due out on February 21th 2025. It's a melodic punk/hardcore track combining pop/punk parts and a fearsome breakdown. Following on from their darker, slower-tempo single ‘Down In The Dumps’, STINKY confirm that they're not about to give up on efficiency and energy ! Always firmly rooted in its time, the band delivers a committed track that tackles the deliverance that gender transition can represent, making it a veritable hymn to self-acceptance. The artwork for the single has been turned into a T-shirt, and all proceeds from the sale of the T-shirt, which can be bought on Bandcamp, and all profits will be donated to NOSIG, the LGBTQIA center in Nantes (FR), and will be used to fund initiatives to raise awareness of trans-identity : https://stinkyhc.bandcamp.com/merch/alignment-t-shirt
