New Music: Mia Mera – Kill The Iceberg

Mia Mera is the project of Baltimore-based Jack Dourakos and has a mean line in hook-laden, punchy power pop with a grungy edge.

Kill The Iceberg is that and more, slivers of pop-punk and shoegaze phasing the guitars in and out of the 90s, as the lyrics concern themselves with always current affairs of the heart.

This is one you can sing along to with friends, but I’d say it’s best enjoyed loud, on repeat, and with an air guitar to hand – be ready to throw your best Superchunk and Sugar shapes as you jump around the room. As Dourakos says, grunge heals.

Kill The Iceberg is streaming on Spotify and Apple Music – for other listening options, check out Mia Mera on Instagram and TikTok.
