Post-Punk Electro-Rock Trio Delivers Hard-Hitting Three-Track Gem with Rachel Stamp Roots

She Made Me Do It (SMMDI), the post-punk electro-rock trio formed by Rachel Stamp alumni Shaheena Dax and Will Crewdson, alongside drummer Joe Holweger, has dropped their latest three-track EP, Pulverised, on September 12, 2025. Now a fully solidified unit with Holweger’s percussive prowess, the band evolves from electro-pop origins into a sharper, harder-edged sound. Available on CD and all digital platforms, this release—complete with striking artwork by Pushing Normal and stylish videos by Craig Griffith for “Silver Lining” and “The Emotional One”—is their most soul-baring work yet. Stream it now and feel the intensity!

Track-by-Track Breakdown

The EP kicks off with “Silver Lining”, where Dax confronts grief and heartbreak over high-voltage riffs, strident keyboards, and driving punk rhythms. Her raw vocals cut through Crewdson’s intense guitar work, creating a cathartic anthem of emotional release.

Next, “The Emotional One” battles the tug-of-war between feeling and thinking in chaotic relationships. Dax’s line, “Always so emotional, trying hard not to lose my mind,” soars over Crewdson’s abrasive licks, building to a rousing, impassioned climax that mirrors today’s fractured world.

The title track “Pulverised” closes with a naggingly insistent beat, evoking early Psychedelic Furs urgency. It’s a galloping love-on-the-front-line story, bursting into a deftly melodic refrain that lingers long after the final note.

Evolution and Visual Flair

SMMDI’s shift from electro-pop to a streamlined beast shines here, with Holweger’s drumming anchoring the trio’s dynamic sound. The Pushing Normal artwork adds a visual punch, while Craig Griffith’s videos for “Silver Lining” and “The Emotional One”—featuring stark, emotive imagery—enhance the EP’s narrative depth. Fans on X are raving, “Pulverised is a post-punk masterpiece—Dax kills it!”
