The mighty Neon Taste Records, whose track record of white hot punk releases includes BOOTLICKER, TRAUMATIZER, and INFERNO PERSONALE, continues that trajectory with SISTEMA OBSOLETO and their debut EP Esmagado Pela Engrenagem Capitalista. The Macedonian-based band plays bone-crunching käng inspired by MOB 47, TOTALITÄR, and SHITLICKERS.

NYCs PYREX dropped their excellent second LP Body last month and it can’t be recommended enough. Stuffed to the brim with catchy hooks, wild vocals, and razor sharp riffs, PYREX layers their brand of punk rock ’n’ roll with a splash of demented energy typically found in the music of garage punk mutants like TY SEGALL and OSEES. Songs like “Face Off”, “Nerve Ends”, and “Reflex” had me going back for a second listen the minute the tracks ended.

Here at Cvlt Nation we’re big fans of Brooklyn’s RABBIT, a group who stands out in a sea of bands playing metallic hardcore thanks to their eclectic style and full on delivery. Their last release, 2023s Bardo, was a hit and left all of us excited to hear what was next for the band. Luckily for us, Delayed Gratification just dropped their latest, a skull crushing split with Columbus Ohio’s EN LOVE, another band worth getting hyped about. EN LOVE starts things off on the A-Side.

Last year, CROCODILES frontman Brandon Welchez shared some of his favorite 45’s for a feature on Cvlt Nation (check it out here), showcasing an impressive knowledge of some deep cuts. While his longstanding band CROCODILES lean more surfy power pop, they’ve always exhibited some punk in their DNA, and after sharing his picks it’s clear that Welchez knows his stuff when it comes to punk tunes. Now, that style comes to the forefront with his new outfit PSYCHIC PIGS.
