A lyric can feel like a mirror, and Misery Prize hold it up without blinking:

“Don’t hide your mind behind a smile you don’t feel.”

We’re dropping a fast, focused listen on Breaking Bands Podcast for anyone who loves new music discovery and wants emerging artists with something to say, not just something to sell.

We introduce Misery Prize, an electro punk trio whose track “FFWD>>” blends sharp energy with a surprisingly human message. The words cut through the noise: “don’t fall at the first gate, don’t hate yourself for being late, embrace your mistakes, then get yourself right”. It’s the kind of independent music moment that lands like a jolt of motivation, because it doesn’t pretend growth is tidy, or the slightest bit pretty.

The track also pivots into that often familiar ache of time and memory, weighing “moving forwards, looking back” against the reality of days you can’t retract.

If you’re into punk, electronic edge, DIY scenes, and a music podcast that respects your time while still giving you a proper takeaway, this one’s for you.

Visit Misery Prize on Spotify, and at their website.
