Suno prompt
A restless punk track with driving energy and a broken-beat feel at 154 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing driving eighth notes, under an acoustic drum kit with a cracking and compressed snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A gritty male vocal delivers a raw and unpolished performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
