Driven by a pummeling bassline, “Locomotive” is a three-minute burst of brooding guitar riffs and garage-punk fury. Throughout the track, singer Brandon Blaine’s vocals shift from restrained to manic, intensifying the primal energy at the heart of “Locomotive.”

“Locomotive,” recorded during the same session that delivered “I Only Speak in Friction,”was also produced by Epitaph founder and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Since the premiere of the song this past July, Plague Vendor went into the studio with Producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Unknown Mortal Orchestra) to record the follow up to their 2016 release titled BLOODSWEAT. The newly recorded album is yet to be titled or given a release date.
