LISTEN: Two-Man Giant Squid Craft Playful, Synth-tinted Post-Punk On “3 Hits”

Two-Man Giant Squid have been on a prolific streak since they debuted back in 2022. With their debut project, Abyssal Gigantism, arriving that same year, the Brooklyn-bred post-punk outfit established a far-reaching sound that was stretched even further on 2023’s Intro To Basement. After cementing their place in the burgeoning post-punk scene with their 2025 self-titled LP, Two-Man Giant Squid continue their push for dominance with the release of “3 Hits.” 

The latest single from the refreshing quintet finds Two-Man Giant Squid diving headfirst into a synth-based dance fusion world. While maintaining the cartoonish range that set them apart from their peers in the first place, the band parades their prowess high above their heads with a jovial, rocking new single. The band’s latest touches on the chaotic excellence of their self-titled effort but features a more robust sound, allowing them to fully lean into a sound they’ve only slightly explored before. There is something grand about “3 Hits,” like they’re inviting the listener to join in on the celebration of Two-Man Giant Squid’s recent success. The dense yet cascading synth work pairs beautifully with the acrobatic vocals and searing guitar work, combining electronic undertones with the loose definitions of contemporary post-punk. Two-Man Giant Squid is shaping up to be an undeniable member of modern post-punk, and the slightly autobiographical “3 Hits” yet again showcases a new side of this daring band.
