Derision Cult has unveiled its new two-track EP, Flyover Noise, following their previous Mercenary Notes releases. This EP features rhythmic takes on tracks by influential Illinois bands, covering "Rocket Science" by The Goodyear Pimps and "Better Than Me" by Sister Machine Gun, both of which resonate with the band’s musical roots. Founder Dave McAnally highlights how these bands shaped their songwriting approach. Originally planned to be titled FIBS, the title was changed for broader appeal. The EP is set to be released today, October 10, and is available on Bandcamp via Glitch Mode Recordings.
Given the band’s heavy influence from local artists, how do local music scenes shape the identity of emerging bands like Derision Cult?
