Norwegian punk band Poor Bambi recently released its debut album Skyscrapers Soaring, Yet We’re Drowning (out February 6, 2026 on Apollon Records) filled with songs that have eclectic musical roots but a coherent and emotionally charged sound. The new single “Let Me Speak” seems to echo the sentiments of the title of the album and the title track itself. Soaring guitar lines and charging rhythms are punctuated by spirited vocals that deliver words coming from a place of someone who has felt ignored by the powerful and privileged but the social/economic/political climate for that status quo is coming to an end as people seem to be waking up to the possibilities of not settling for the bare minimum while a corrupt and grossly debauched elite treat other people and the planet itself as disposable and not worthy of respect with a long held expectation that the non-powerful should be quiet and take what’s given. But like most things in the world of society and politics that’s a contingent reality that can change abruptly when a mass of people refuse to go along with the oppressing narrative and seize what’s rightfully theirs. The song has that kind of energy. Fans of Cheap Perfume and Sweeping Promises will appreciate the sounds and attitudes Poor Bambi is offering.
