You've heard sounds like this before, but the beauty of punk is this: You've never heard these sounds. Addictive and anthemic Los Angeles street punk, doing to kids today what CRIMINAL DAMAGE did to us twenty years ago. We had heard sounds like that before too...you see what I mean?

I'd like to tell myself that I have words that meet the moment, but really I have nothing. Still and again I have nothing at all. We are just so fukkn bad - collectively we, like Thee Royal We, we are just so bad. It doesn't mean The Other is good (far from it) but our pomp is just so transparently false. As if The Emperor didn't even bother to pretend getting dressed before he announced that he was wearing clothes. It's a farce. WE are a farce. It's a false narrative and it's complete bullshit and this timeline is terrifying. To anyone reading this who ever thought we were better than any of the people they told us were bad - we aren't any better. We are the same. It's just a different narrative. Can you imagine what could happen if all of the "others" got on the same page? But alas, this is what they want. THIS is what they want. Fuck this. FUCKAMERICANS.

MOTHERFUCKER TERESA

 

Fierce. Dissonant. Shrill. Lumbering. Passionate. Intense.

...I almost feel like a single word sentences could accurately describe Denver's MOTHERFUCKER TERESA,  but then it would start a debate about hyphenated compounds like "Anti-Cop" and acronyms like "PC" because both are essential components to their composition and sound. Nine dual-vocal hardcore songs that sound like they were banged out in someone's mom's garage - and I mean that in the best possible way. Choice cuts include the damaged "Me & Mitch McConnell In A Dark Alley" and their brilliant interpretation of BODY COUNT's most famous track....you know the one, right? This is Covid-era hardcore that feels absolutely timeless.
