“Shot Down” is a hardcore anthem for those who can be both their biggest champions and own worst enemies. As the second single from Scowl’s upcoming extended play, Psychic Dance Routine, the track’s crafty duality brings out the best of both worlds from the Santa Cruz band, combating fast thrash and vocalist Kat Moss’ feral intensity against a melodic seismic shift in spiraled second-guessing. “I feel right now / Kill you right now / Hate you right now,” she scourges her doubts. “Walk out, wanna walk out on you / I’m getting shot down.” Fears unleashed, she and Scowl are out to prove something to themselves.
