Canadian punk heavyweights The Flatliners return with “Misanthropy & Me,” a sharp and emotional new single that lands with the weight and precision of a band deep into their craft. It’s a track built on tension, gritty melodies, tight rhythms, and Chris Cresswell’s unmistakable voice balancing frustration, reflection, and vulnerability in equal measure.
The song leans into the darker, more introspective side of The Flatliners’ sound. The guitars grind with a controlled intensity, the drums snap with urgency, and the vocal delivery feels raw without losing melody. There’s a heaviness here, not in speed but in tone — a sense of wrestling with the world, with people, and with yourself.
“Misanthropy & Me” feels like a continuation of the band’s evolution: still melodic, still emotionally charged, but with the maturity of musicians who know how to say more with less. It’s brooding, powerful, and fiercely human — another reminder of why The Flatliners remain one of the most compelling bands in modern punk.
