Time Under Tension

Marking their Smartpunk Records debut, *Time Under Tension* finds War on Women channeling a period of immense pressure into their most volatile work. The album’s title manifests in frenetic, wiry guitar riffs and a rhythm section wound to a breaking point, creating a sonic landscape of controlled chaos. Shawna Potter’s vocals are a searing focal point, articulating feminist rage with renewed urgency against a backdrop of systemic decay. Forged in a crucible of external turmoil and internal resolve, the record’s abrasive production captures a sound that is both frayed and lethally focused.
