Personality Cult

**Personality Cult** is a San Francisco-based post-punk/garage rock project led by musician Jason Drummond, known for his work in bands like The Soft Moon. Blending raw energy with moody, minimalist hooks, their sound channels the urgency of early post-punk acts like Joy Division and Wire while carving out its own sharp-edged identity. Drummond’s lyrics often grapple with themes of alienation and societal tension, delivered with a tense, magnetic vocal style over driving basslines and wiry guitars.

Since emerging in the early 2010s, Personality Cult has built a cult following with releases like *Anger*, *Not Ready*, and their self-titled *S/T* album, all embodying their stripped-down, DIY ethos. Tracks like *Telephone* and *Sharp Edges* showcase their knack for pairing hypnotic rhythms with lyrics that simmer with frustration and introspection. Live shows amplify their studio intensity, making them a standout in the modern post-punk revival scene.
