Song Review – Treasure Pains  –  “Left To Give” 

Three men and one woman, casually dressed and looking toward the viewer.  They look comfortable and at ease.

As I am always tracking the news as it pertains to Wiretap Records (seriously one of the very best punk labels in the country) I was happy to see this song released on that label.  I had been following this band’s music since the latter part of 2024, drawn to it by the fact that it involved Kyle Woodall, the great drummer from Wolvesx4 (that being another band you should check out pronto – a good intro point is their 2023 album cursecursecurse).  The first release from Treasure Pains was Charming (also on Wiretap Records) and it was a solid album that interlaced elements of melodic punk with the lighter side of post hardcore.

This new track is definitely more aggressive than their earlier songs, opening on a heavy bass line before cutting into a very loud and aggressive guitar and vocal onslaught.  The drums are right at the front of the sound throughout, driving along a song that also has a pretty cool guitar riff ringing out through the last minute or so.  I like this slightly harder sound from Treasure Pains – it keep the melodic vibe but with a tougher touch.

And maybe think about purchasing this song after you listen – streaming music does not pay much even times a thousand…

Let me know you think!
