Hardcore quartet Pithair recently introduced itself with a self-titled debut EP. Instantly cultivating an unadulterated snarl as seething, throat-testing vocals are complimented by the focused, rhythmic rumble, that nonstop push is aided by personal, space-carving, guitar riffs, spiking the guttural roar. Hitting quickly and getting up in your face in the process, Pithair has arrived. (Photo by Georgia Smith)
