Slow Cooker

Hi. We're SLOW COOKER and we're set to release our debut album "Do A Kickflip" on Drug Party Tapes. We're channelling garage rock through the erratic energy of early hardcore punk. Sweaty, manic, weird punk flowing like a house party in reverse.

For fans of

The Muslims

Yo! We're The Muslims, a thrashy, hard-hitting punk band bringing political humor and tender rage to both halal and haram punks everywhere. We play a mix of classic, hardcore and afropunk influenced stuff. We're just a bunch of cuddly, angry ass, rabid raccoons okay.

For fans of

Hot Ham & Cheese

Hey all...we are Hot Ham & Cheese from Cleveland, OH. This is the new single from our latest album The Onions Have Eyes. It's also the sequel to our 2006 track "Cocaine Billy". Pretty much straight-forward, old school punk at its core. We hope you dig it!

For fans of

Los Pinche Pinches

What do wipeouts, spilled beers, and sun burns have in common? Nothing really, but they go great with the sounds of Los Pinches Pinches. It’s what you get if you had Dick Dale shredding over the quirky math rock of Arab on Radar. It’s surf rock for weirdos.

For fans of

Zephyranthes

Born of a mutual love for Trailer Park Boys and The Matrix, our music is a dirty stew of whacked out prog and punk-inspired minimalism. Our latest, Zephyranthes III, dips into the dimebag to find a handful of radioactive sonic nuggets.

For fans of

The Tar Sands

Hi I'm Scott Martin! I'm the singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist, songwriter, just everything for The Tar Sands. I got sick of playing with people who didn't wanna play rowdy fuzzed out garage punk so I DIY'd My debut album, Unfiltered is all me, and all dirty, greasy, gross tones & themes. Enjoy!
