PRICED OUT releasing Four Songs
Vancouver’s Priced Out Captivates the Hardcore Punk Scene with Their Gritty and Uncompromising New EP ‘Four Songs’
In the bustling music scene of Vancouver, PRICED OUT emerges as a formidable force in the realm of Hardcore Punk and Hard Rock. This is not just another band; they are a powerful voice for marginalized communities, channelling their struggles and anger into a raw, unapologetic sound that resonates deeply with listeners. Through their new EP, Four Songs, PRICED OUT delivers an explosive collection of tracks that tackle urgent social issues with fierce intensity and undeniable passion.
As PopHits.Co‘s music curator, I can confidently say, “PRICED OUT’s music is a gritty testament to the power of punk rock in giving a voice to the voiceless.” Their influences range from the punk aesthetics of Idles to the politically charged sound of Dead Kennedys and the poetic edge of Lou Reed.

The EP Four Songs was recorded DIY at their rehearsal studio in East Vancouver, with Graham Madden taking the helm for engineering and mixing. This self-driven approach adds an authentic edge to their music, reflecting the very ethos of punk rock. The opening track, “Pull The Ladder Up,” critiques the selfish ‘get mine’ attitude and its societal repercussions. Its bold and ferocious punk aesthetic makes it an instant anthem, echoing the spirit of bands like IDLES while forging a unique identity.
Each track on the EP addresses critical issues with a clarity that is both alarming and refreshing. “Poisoned Drugs” confronts the opioid crisis and the misguided criminalization of poverty, while “Hedge Fund Maze” delves into wealth inequality and the manipulation of public perception. “Artwashing” rounds out the EP with a scathing critique of the gentrification and displacement disguised as community art projects. PRICED OUT’s potent lyrics and intense soundscapes make this EP a rallying cry for those who feel unheard.

Priced Out, formed in response to the opioid crisis and housing issues, doesn’t just play music. They make a statement; they demand attention. Their themes resonate with concepts such as universal basic income, free healthcare, and free education, reinforcing their role as both artists and activists. Their DIY recording process and unadulterated sound reflect the tenacity and determination that define their music and message.
