Kill Bathing Suits

Bathing Suits’ 2026 release, Kill Bathing Suits, is a blistering work of punk-hardcore that weaponizes the legacy of fashion designer Norma Kamali. The band dismantles the iconography of the high-cut one-piece and the commodified female form it represents through a sonic assault of dissonant, down-tuned guitars and frantic, blast-beat-driven percussion. Lyrically, it's a polemic against the aesthetic pressures and manufactured independence epitomized by icons like the Farrah Fawcett poster, turning Kamali's 'On My Own' ethos into a declaration of anarchic severance. The production is raw and suffocating, creating a claustrophobic tension that mirrors its central critique.
