Background information about ''

Polyphia have never been a band to sit still, and with New Levels New Devils they pushed their sound into exhilarating, uncharted territory. Released in 2018, this album is a masterclass in genre-blending, where virtuosic guitar work meets trap-influenced beats, electronic textures, and hip-hop swagger. From the opening salvo of G.O.A.T., with its jaw-dropping, syncopated riff that became an instant internet sensation, to the hauntingly beautiful O.D. featuring vocals from Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, the record is a relentless display of technical prowess and songwriting maturity.

What sets New Levels New Devils apart is how effortlessly Polyphia weave together seemingly disparate elements. The rhythm section of drummer Clay Aeschliman and bassist Clay Gober lays down grooves that are both complex and impossibly funky, while guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage trade off lead lines that are melodic, chaotic, and always captivating. Tracks like Yas and Rich Kids (featuring Yvette Young) are pure adrenaline shots, while Saucy and Bad showcase the band's love for modern production and 808-driven bass. The album feels less like an instrumental rock record and more like a soundtrack to a neon-lit, high-speed chase through a futuristic city. It's bold, unapologetic, and absolutely essential.
