Post-punk Says Charm School Hasn’t Mellowed Out On Their NACC-charting New EP

Charm School is back with new EP Schadenfreude Ploy. Post-punk writes, “if you were hoping they’d mellow out, maybe brew a cuppa herbal tea, for you have badly misjudged the situation. Andrew Sellers and his Louisville-to-LA cadre: Matt Filip, Drew English, Brian Vega – are still operating like men who found the control panel and immediately started pressing every red button. The EP chews on humanity’s collective cracked psyche and spits out a grin full of broken enamel. AI hovers over everything like an unpaid intern with godlike powers. Manipulation traps snap shut in every direction—financial, romantic, algorithmic. Sellers’ manic delivery paces the room, waving a printout of your browsing history and laughing at the absurdity of it all.” Read the full review here.

The EP, at radio now, broke into the NACC 200 this week! Thanks to KCSU, KDUR, KFFP/KFFD, WCLH, WFWM, WIUP, WRCU, WTCC, and WXNA for including it in your Top 30 this week, and thanks to KSVG, WMXM, and WCLH for making it an official add.
