Hauntu is a new post punk band from San Diego, California, delivering a dark and intense sound infused with elements of garage rock, punk, metal, and goth. Their latest single, Panic, leans slightly toward a bit of a lighter tone, and at the same time remains firmly based in their signature dark aesthetic.
The track explores the internal struggles associated with anxiety and panic attacks and is part of the band's two-track EP, I.
With a more melodic approach and a slightly more accessible songwriting style and structure, the band crafts a powerful atmosphere utilizing lush guitars and expressive vocals, demonstrating a creative vision which feels incredibly well realized and expertly executed.
Hauntu is composed of current and former members of Tulpa Luna, Holy Tears, Island of Thieves, Sleeping Ghost, Ilya, Kata, Fluf, The Old In/Out, Goodbye Blue Monday, and others.
