Paris-based band Mascara, born from a blend of tension and liberation, delivers a captivating, well crafted and smart sonic fusion of heavy alternative rock, dreamy shoegaze and post-hardcore, with elements of 90s grunge and nü metal sprinkled in. Formed in 2019, their discography showcases a progression of introspective and explosive sounds, culminating in their first full-length album, 'Going Postal,' set for release on March 13th, 2026 through Fever Ltd, home to amazing bands like Heavenward, Fly Over States and Muted Colors. Drawing from influences like Deftones, Alice in Chains, Silverchair, MBV, Nothing, Chevelle, Hum and the like, Mascara's music delves into themes of generational trauma, memory, and the perpetual struggle for personal and global resilience, fueled by heavy guitar tones, pummeling drums, thick grooves, and dreamy vocals. Recorded in an intense week with producer Clément Decrock at Boss Hog Studio, the album delivers a visceral experience with its pulsating force of guitars, swirling rhythms, and haunting vocals. This isn't your run of the mill grungegaze or nugaze or whatever people are calling it these days. This is truly something special and worth your time.
