A quick detour to São Paulo brings us to a release from a band I can’t seem to dig up much info on. What I do know: they’re called cisma, and their six-song contra o tempo sounds far too assured to be anyone’s first rodeo. They play a strain of punk that’s instantly accessible but cut with a post-punk edge, carried by vocals with just the right snarl and attitude.

The band’s own description mentions mod and power pop—labels I wouldn’t immediately pin on their sound, but they do hint at the melodic streak running through these songs. Either way, cisma feel like a band arriving fully formed. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
