The Bay Rays lay heavy foundations on ‘New Home’ single

Every weekday, DIY’s new music know-it-all Neu brings you one essential new release to get obsessed with. Today’s Neu Pick comes from The Bay Rays.

Kent three-piece The Bay Rays don’t fuck about. Debut single ‘Four Walls’ was a rollicking racket, taking the sweaty garage-punk ethos of Drenge’s early days and dousing it in darkness. Second time round, with new single ‘New Home’ they’re turning every amp up ten-fold.

Rocketing forward, it’s another cut of basement-bound sticky fuzz, perfectly primed for squeezing mosh-pits and crowd-surfers under low ceilings. Get the first spin of it below.
