“Tell Me If You Ever Cried…” — Budapest’s Choke City Share “Burden. Caress. Nothing More” EP

Hungarian post-punk band Choke City released their EP “Burden. Caress. Nothing More.” through Budapest’s Corbata Records, featuring vocalist Richárd Géczi, guitarist Barnabás Kiss, bassist Szabolcs Szűcs, and drummer Gáspár Binder. The three-track project explores relationship deterioration across distinct emotional phases: obligation, desire, and estrangement. Opening track “The Burden of Serving You” chronicles devotion transforming into unbearable submission, with dynamic arrangement shifts emphasizing vocal vulnerability. “Caress” featuring St. Martin transitions to sensual tactility over shoegaze textures and bass melody reminiscent of The Cure, suggesting how intimacy becomes loss of control. Closing track “Nothing More” shifts focus toward familial conflict, examining failed rescue attempts and unresolved emotional honesty. Throughout, Choke City combines post-punk foundations with shoegaze atmospherics and alternative rock weight, maintaining unified emotional impact despite stylistic movement.
