Scorie stare down the end times on new single + video ‘Room Full Of Gangsters’

There’s nothing polite or pristine about Scorie. They don’t knock — they kick the door in, spill something flammable on the floor, and dare you to look away. Their new single and official video, Room Full Of Gangsters, out now, leans hard into that energy, setting the stage for their debut EP ‘Gallodrome,’ landing April 24 via Géographie.

Think of Room Full Of Gangsters like a warped spaghetti western playing in slow motion while the building burns. It’s a track obsessed with endings — not heroic ones, but ugly, sweaty, self-aware reckonings. This is purgatory as a waiting room, where redemption is off the menu and self-realization comes way too late. A monster finally recognizes himself only when he’s surrounded by other monsters.

The song builds as a scorched-earth crescendo: trumpets scraping against screams, punk grime smeared across a cinematic backdrop. It’s the last day of a condemned man stretched into 5:33 suffocating minutes — a preacher addicted to decadence, a bargain-bin Tony Montana, a lost sheep fantasizing about being the Big Bad Wolf. Grand, grimy, and just a little bit feral.

If Scorie were a dish, they’d be beef bourguignon made with cognac instead of red wine. If they were an outfit, it’d be a tank top in winter and a polyester turtleneck in a heatwave. Their whole thing thrives on contradiction — elegance rubbing up against excess, control dissolving into chaos.

Room Full Of Gangsters follows a sharp run of singles that have steadily carved out the band’s identity. Last year’s The Leash and The Fury arrived like a perverse prayer — equal parts submission and rebellion — pairing hypnotic keys with a groove that refused to let go. September’s Legitimate Violence doubled down on sarcasm and cynicism, swinging between dancefloor urgency and the need to scream until your throat gives out.

Together, these tracks sketch the blueprint for ‘Gallodrome’: a rock EP pulling kinetic energy from modern post-punk while borrowing its taste for drama and atmosphere from the Nick Cave school of storytelling. It’s bold, theatrical, and unafraid to push ideas — and volume — to their breaking point.

With Room Full Of Gangsters, Scorie don’t just tell a story about the end. They sit in it, stare it down, and let it sweat. And honestly? It’s a hell of a place to be.
