In 2026 it is all too easy to get overstimulated. Doomscrolling, always online, always having your earbuds in, always people around you. If that sounds familiar, I’m not even sure if you need No Peeling (Nottingham) in your life. Because they cram a ridiculous amount of hyperactivity into nine minutes.

They already did it on their first EP, featuring one of my favorite songs of last year, and they do it again here. This is indie awesomeness pushed into overdrive, insanely restless, from a band that sounds like it’s operating right at the edge of something. Luckily, they turn that into a strength. These seven songs hit like a full-on, fun kind of ass kicking. If a band can do this much in this little time, that’s a bar.

This synth indie post-punk chaos, it works. No Peeling is one killer band. After each spin I found myself singing Superchunk’s “I think I’m hyper enough as it is!”, catching my breath, and gearing up for another round.

EP2 is out on, of course, Wrong Speed Records and Feel it Records. It all checks out.
