The Transit Method are a bit of a weird beast, although we shouldn’t expect any less from Brutal Panda Records, a label that’s been finding excellent oddball acts on heavy music’s fringes for nearly a decade running.

The Austin, TX by way of New Jersey trio clearly enjoys good old fashioned heavy metal — Judas Priest, older Motley Crue, Motorhead — but there’s a rough-and-tumble element that suggests a childhood spent listening to post-hardcore and early ’00s screamo. The result ends up calling to mind former Brutal Panda labelmates Wild Throne, but with scorching guitar solos in place of spazzy vocal freakouts. It’s really fucking rad, if you ask us (and you’re reading this… so you did).

Stream the album track “Parasight” below. The Transit Method’s debut full length, We Wont Get Out Of Here Alive, comes out August 18th via Brutal Panda Records on physical formats and digitally.
