THE BEAST

Release Date: July 25, 2023

Location: Miami 

Miami-based band Mold! is getting ready to share "Choose to be Controlled," the third and last single off their upcoming LP, due out in September. The track which is slated to be out on July 25, is a powerful injection of noise and punk, with a splash of psychedelia. 

Carlo Barbacci (Guitar - Vocals - Synths), Bronto Montano (Bass - Vocals), and Frankie Lujan (Drums), followed the same recipe that lead them the title of Miami New Times Best Emerging Act 2021 , and teamed up once again with sound engineer Ryan Haft (Torche, Wrong, Jacuzzi Boys) for recording and co-producing their new album.

“The song is about carving our own path in a world full of powerful people trying to control us and how some of us choose to be controlled for comfort, while some others find the strength to find freedom just to realize freedom hurts too.” - Carlo Barbacci
 

MOLD! will be playing their album release show on September 16th at Gramps, Miami, presented by The Black Market and with special guests Wrong, Palomino Blond, and Frogs Show Mercy. Tickets Here .

About MOLD!

MOLD! was born in 2019 as a result of the migration of Carlo and Bronto, from Peru to the US, and their wish to make music in a foreign country. Soon after arriving in Miami, they started making their way into the local scene. As an outcome of all that adventure, in 2021 Mold! released their first album: No Silence!

Following the release of their debut album, Mold! has had the opportunity to be part of significant festivals in South Florida including iiiPoints and Bumble Fest, as well as some outside the area such as Winterland (Jacksonville), Festival Sideral in Lima, Peru, and a couple shows in NYC. MOLD! Has opened for Los Blenders in Peru and Dion Lunadon in Miami.

Mold!’s sound is based on Barbacci’s and Montano’s influences, which include anything noisy, loud, and melodic.

2023 has been a very exciting year for Mold!. The band has been touring frequently and will release their second LP, eponymously titled. Mold! is excited to see what the future holds, and is focused on expanding its sound as far as it can go.
