Public Opinion have returned with a new two-song single, Heaven Sent, out today via Convulse Records. The title track and it's b-side "Dry Clean Only" find the Denver-based group in their element, pushing the melody and bite of their sound even further.

Public Opinion blend the energy and aggression of hardcore with the overt hooks and swagger of garage rock, resulting in razor sharp songs that make you want to sing along and stage dive in equal measure. "Heaven Sent" is a sub-two minute rocker that imagines The Hives as a hardcore band, while "Dry Clean Only" brings elements of '90s alternative into the mix along with one of Public Opinion's most anthemic choruses to date.

Heaven Sent follows 2022's Modern Convenience EP and marks Public Opinion's first time working with engineer/producer Taylor Young (God's Hate, Militarie Gun, Ingrown, Nails). "Working with Taylor Young at the Pit in Van Nuys was awesome," says vocalist Kevin Hart. "He’s done a ton of records I really love and it was cool to not only hear the songs captured by him in that room, but to also have his input on the music and vocals." The band effortlessly combine primal first wave punk with a sense of unabashed catchiness, managing to keep a foot in guitar pop band and ferocious hardcore without missing a beat.
