Sounds from USA

10/06/2026 |

Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, the rock 'n' roll garage punks Designer unleash a blistering two-minute and forty-seven-second sonic assault with "City Limits," a track that channels the fierce, galloping spirit of 70s classics like "Barracuda." Steeped in the raw, proto-punk energy of the early Stooges and infused with a hazy psychedelic atmosphere, the song rides a relentless groove that seamlessly bridges classic garage rock with the neon-soaked grit of 80s rock. The band delivers a harsh, unapologetic, and fiercely passionate interpretation, elevated by a massive, punchy mix courtesy of Grammy-nominated producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther), which gives every gritty riff and crashing cymbal a larger-than-life presence. Serving as a standout moment on their May 2026 debut album HEADCASE, "City Limits" is a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled ride that perfectly encapsulates the band's explosive live energy as they gear up for their midwest and European tours, proving once and for all that Designer is indeed here to stay.
