Swedish songwriter Patrik Berger released 2 tracks this Friday, one with Diana Ross and Tame Impala and one with Bitch Hawk. This mail concerns the later:
Listening to Bitch Hawk is easy. Are you just a slightly in to heavier tunes, you will instantly raise your fist. Explaining what it is is harder. Bitch Hawk play punk/hardcore without hesitation but blends in all sorts of metal, sludge, trash, black, jazz and make it sounds like it is just rock'n'roll, played with the formula: no trigged drums, no lowered strings. In 2018 they released no less that 2 albums, now they are back to be Passing Out!

In the words of singer Fred Burman:
""Passing Out" is in a sense about fatherhood. I love my kids. But they are slowly killing me. As they grow stronger and more capable everyday, I lose my hair, virility and life force. Right now I need to reset - a wrecking ball. A night off and five shots of alcohol.”

The track comes with a video made by the same Fred:
"I made the video for the song with this in mind. The life is literally sucked out of the men in this world by an unknown entity. It drives them mad to the point of total disintegration. It’s Lovecraftian horror with my youngest son as the antagonist."
