Canada’s White Lung recently released Paradise, an album that heavily mines ’90s- through ’00s-era influences like emo, nu-metal, and cherry-flavored synth-pop. There’s even a little grunge in vocalist Mish Way’s Courtney Love-style delivery that, alongside up-tempo, psychobilly backbeats on tunes like “Kiss Me When I Bleed,” also brings to mind vocalist Brody Dalle of LA band the Distillers. “Demented” chugs along to a piston-like, industrial foundation covered with high-production gloss and the Hot Topic-style metal guitar work of Kenneth William, establishing a tension between White Lung’s interest in aggressive, dark music and careerist, arena-rock leanings. Throughout Paradise, White Lung seems to aim for Hole, but unfortunately, sometimes hits Paramore instead. WILLIAM KENNEDY
