GRUDGEPACKER "Animal" 7" VIT067 (Milky Clear/Black Ice variant)
On their upcoming EP Animal, Grudgepacker turns inward lyrically, with singer/founder Allan Yaxon singing about his own self-love as a Brown gay man over the stomping hardcore punk introduced by their self-titled debut. In the vein of greats like Limp Wrist and G.L.O.S.S., with hints of Yaxon’s Oi! influence peeking through, Grudgepacker destroys with equal parts fury and grit in a style that could only come out of L.A. Animal continues the same sonic journey that the quartet, filled out by
bassist Kat Castro, guitarist Ryan Fairchild, and drummer Sarah Dullas, began in 2022. The guitars are dirty and the drums pummeling; the EP is a short and energetic offering, as a punk 7in should be. Get in, beat ass, get out.
Recorded and mastered by Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden East, Oakland, CA., in July 2024.
