All You Can Hate wrestles with existential truths on Nothing Lasts Forever
With their debut EP, Nothing Lasts Forever, All You Can Hate delivers a thought-provoking collection of songs that dive into the fraught intersections of personal and societal turmoil. Out now via Kosmica Dischi, the EP captures the band’s signature blend of post-punk, Midwest emo, and shoegaze influences, fused with undeniably catchy pop melodies.
Produced by: All You Can Hate
The six-track EP pulls inspiration from personal experiences, expanding them into broader reflections on modern life. Themes like social alienation, the existential weight of choice, and the corrosive effects of social media are all explored with unflinching honesty. Tracks such as ‘Choices’ and ‘Not Gonna Change the World’ embody the tension between despair and hope, while ‘I Don’t Care’ leans into a nihilistic outlook tempered with an undercurrent of bittersweet optimism.
The title, Nothing Lasts Forever, encapsulates the EP’s core duality: a nihilism that embraces emptiness as a relief from suffering, and a subtle optimism reminding listeners that pain and despair are also fleeting. Against the backdrop of a post-modern society riddled with existential uncertainty, the EP acts as both a mirror and a question mark—leaving the listener to decide whether its message leans toward redemptive clarity or melancholic surrender.
the band quips:
“If we were famous, our fans would be called haters.”
This playful deflection sharpens their music’s edge, as they tackle generational struggles like the craving for meaningful change and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness in the face of systemic inertia.
The EP will be presented live at Wishlist Club in Rome, with All You Can Hate embarking on a European tour in early 2025, including stops at Supersonic in Paris on January 30 and Detune in Milan on April 12.
Standout Songs: ‘Choices,’ ‘Not Gonna Change The World,’ and ‘Fairy Tails.’
