Karoshi’s “Hide + Seek” Delivers Pacific Northwest Punk Nostalgia

Angst meets activism where karōshi thrives—right in that messy intersection where love stories crash into political discourse like kids playing hacky sack in a crowded park. If punk’s supposedly dead, someone definitely forgot to tell these guys.

"hide + seek," their latest offering, hits hard with that electric nostalgia we didn’t know we were craving.

It’s essentially a sonic sandwich—layers of grunge and punk that the Pacific Northwest has been perfecting for decades, all wrapped up in one track. Think of it as both a love letter to the past and a middle finger to anyone who thinks the scene’s lost its edge.

This single doesn’t just add to their catalog; it cements karōshi as an essential piece of Seattle’s constantly evolving punk backbone. You know, that scene that’s been raising misfits and radicals since… well, forever.

The track’s setting the stage for their sophomore full-length, dropping this September. Gritty vocals? Check. Thick instrumentals that hit you in the chest? Double check. Production that’s just killer throughout?

If that’s your jam, you’ll want to keep this on your radar.
