Hypernova was Spectacular…Hypernova might be shoehorned into “indie rock” or “dance punk,” but neither of those terms does them justice. Live, they are a mix of gnarly distorted bass guitar, slashing power chords, angular leads, propulsive drums, ethereal keyboards and deep, moody vocals. Each song is the perfect length, contains a strong hook and is relentlessly energetic and fun…Simply put, Hypernova outshines many of their contemporaries by rocking harder and cutting out the filler that many so-called “new wave” or “post punk” revival bands rely upon. Hypernova sounds fresh and furious.
