Cheap Thrills

Uniform is an American industrial / noise band hailing from the vibrant music scene of New York City. Known for their unique blend of aggressive and experimental sounds, *Uniform* has carved out a distinct place within the underground music community.

Inspired by a range of influences, including punk, metal, and electronic music, *Uniform* creates intense sonic landscapes that push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their powerful live performances have garnered them a dedicated following and established them as one of the most exciting acts in their genre.

With a sound that can be described as both abrasive and cathartic, *Uniform* stands alongside similar artists such as Street Sects, Lana Del Rabies, Puce Mary, JK Flesh, Pharmakon, The Body, Youth Code, Author & Punisher. If you are a fan of these performers or enjoy exploring new musical territories with an industrial edge,

What if the antihero in your favorite film or book had no chance to repent, reconcile, or redeem himself ? There’s no victim to rescue. There’s no evil to thwart. There’s no tyranny to turnover. Instead of saving the day against his bet- ter judgment, he just walks a Sisyphean circle of existential malaise doomed to repeat yesterday’s vices without the promise of a better tomorrow. Rather than tell this story on the screen or on the page, Uniform tell it on their fourth full- length album, Shame. The trio – Michael Berdan (vocals), Ben Greenberg (guitar, production), and Mike Sharp (drums) – strain struggle through an industrialized mill of grating guitars, warped electronics, war-torn percussion, and demonically catchy vocalizations. 

“Thematically, the album is like a classic hard-boiled paperback novel without a case,” says Berdan. “It focuses on the static state of an antihero as he mulls over his life in the interim between major events, just existing in the world. At the time we were making the record, I was reading books by Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and Dashiell Hammet and strangely found myself identifying with the internal dialogues of characters like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe.”
