INTIMATE ALBUM RELEASE SHOWS ANNOUNCED IN LONDON, NEW YORK CITY & LOS ANGELES. HEADLINE WORLD TOUR DATES BEGIN THIS MONTH. NEW ALBUM ‘TRASH CLASSIC’ DUE JUNE 6, 2025 VIA THE REVERBERATION APPRECIATION SOCIETY / GREENWAY RECORDS.

The band has also prepared an announcement that’s sure to thrill fans in London, New York City and Los Angeles – the week leading up to the release of Trash Classic will see them perform at intimate venues in each city. On May 30, the band will perform at London’s Shacklewell Arms, before returning to America for shows at New York City’s Berlin on June 5 and Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles on June 7. The new track comes just before their impressive slate of headline world tour dates begins at The Netherlands’ Sonic Whip Festival, after which the band will criss-cross mainland Europe before doing the same back in the States later in the summer. See below for the full list of tour dates, including these new album release shows. Los Angeles psych-punk shapeshifters have spent the last decade mutating their sound into bold, electrifying new forms. Their latest release, ‘Trash Classic’ plunges into a sewer-slick fusion of proto-punk venom, fractured new wave, and industrial grime. Brimming with wiry synths, angular melodies, and grooves that squirm and bite, it’s all delivered with a sly, playful wink. Fueled by relentless global touring and a fierce DIY ethos, the band has shared stages with OFF!, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, cementing their place as one of the most unforgettable live acts around. They continue to morph, dragging listeners into whatever warped direction their experimental journey takes next. The songs were born in the grime of Vernon, Los Angeles—a wasteland littered with gutted RVs and rusting machinery, where the air tastes like asphalt and dog food. But the real alchemy happened in Oakland, at Tiny Telephone Studio, where producer Maryam Qudus (La Luz, Spacemoth) helped transmute the tracks into their final forms. Unhinged tones, unconventional recording experiments, and wild sonic detours transformed the songs into something alive and unpredictable. Every day of recording began with cartoons blaring at full volume—a Looney Tunes ritual that turned the madness of the recording process into something child-like. Late at night, sugar-fueled candy binges kept the energy spiking, pushing the sessions into a fever dream of jittery, spastic playfulness. The result is a raw, twisted monument to rot and excess—toxic glamour and nihilistic salvation. ‘Trash Classic’ isn’t just a record; it’s an auditory dumpster bible—a gutter gospel for those ready to dive into its filth.

4. Fucksake
