We're having a release party for our new EP Insurgent Ecology in Brooklyn @wondervillenyc on May 30th with a bunch of sick bands that we are homies with! This show will also double as a benefit for @abcnorio to raise funds for the venue space and equipment for the new building, which we hope to throw many grind and hardcore shows at in the future! As always at Wonderville, the indie arcade cabinets are all free to play. Moisturizer is coming down from Providence, and Muscipula is coming up from Baltimore. And on the more local side, we'll have Internalizer from NJ and a new project with members of Chemical Man called RPK.

WE"RE BACK! Unveiling the cover art by @skullbastard.art for our new EP, Insurgent Ecology, that we recorded last year! After quite a few delays, we will be finally releasing this at the end of May. It's been almost three years since we've released new music, so we can't wait to grind your teeth in this Summer with the new stuff! The lineup and flyer for our record release show in Brooklyn on May 30th will be announced in the next couple of days as well so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Bam, Stevo, and the gang have been busy over the long weekend wreaking havoc on the city's police force after they heard our new song Highway Wormfood. We're several weeks out from the release of our new EP, Insurgent Ecology, so in the meantime go check out the two preview tracks we put out on all the streaming platforms. And come out to the Philly area show we're doing on September 13th (dm for details) as a release party. HUGE thanks to @eggsailor for making this sick as fuck video for us!

Here are two more new ones that we performed at @khomaniacc 's grindcore pool party last year! This coming week we will be sharing the cover art for our new EP which we are finally going to be releasing soon. Thanks again @quigleyfilmsofficial for the footage! The two we are closing our set with in this video also close out the new EP. The first is titled Inverted Red Triangle and is about the resiliency of the Palestinian people in the face of genocide. The second is called A Place of Fear and is about the autonomous indigenous municipality of Cherán, which underwent an insurrection in 2011 to kick out the police, politicians, and cartels in order to self-govern via a form of direct democracy. The song title is what the town's name translates to in the Purépecha language.

We just got added to a last minute Philly bill @kungfunecktie_bar on Wednesday playing with @inoculation_band on their current tour! We haven’t played Philadelphia since November, so it’ll be good to see a bunch of you for the first time in a while! Stoked that @atomicwitch_ and local death metal slammers @duress215 are on the bill too. It’s gonna be a fuckin’ sick one

Here's some riffs for you all for the holidays. Two more songs from the @quigleyfilmsofficial footage of our set at @khomaniacc 's grindcore pool party, in the same basement where the New Year's Eve show is going to be next week! This one is our new track Highway Wormfood, and a tried and true crowd favorite from the first album, The Potential to Storm Heaven.

Can’t make it all the way to Maryland for Pig Destroyer on New Year’s Eve? Well the South Jersey Scum Crew is having another rager at @khomaniacc ’s place in NJ right outside of Philly, so come hang with us and this stacked lineup of local grind bands! Bring beers and homies, and we’ll bring the riffs and blasts! We’ll be partying all night and will probably have a bonfire later on.

We put together a sick as fuck Philly lineup for the last date of the @antisapienband tour next month, and our first hometown show of the year! We’re coming back to The Mousetrap to tear it up at another DIY show. Let’s welcome these guys back home (almost) with the best that Philly grindcore has to offer, and we’re being joined by the homies in @pesterer.band who are playing the previous two dates of the tour as well!

We finally got our hands on the footage from the massive grindcore show we did in @khomaniacc 's basement at his housewarming pool party! Thanks a ton to @quigleyfilmsofficial for recording every set that day. Here's a short clip of two songs from that set, one from our new upcoming EP and an old one from our album that I'm sure many of you will recognize. Still excited to have played with like 10 sick as fuck bands that day. I had sunburn for like an entire week. Watch til the end to see bonus footage of @lysergicvulture feeding @sagnewshreds a beer as the next song is about to start.

First show announcement for the new year! We’re playing the Maryland/D.C. area again next month at the Litterbox as part of @antisapienband ’s US tour, with a bunch of old friends. It’s the same spot we had the Goregrind BBQ at earlier this year, so come through and rage with us once more!

THE CURSE HAS FINALLY BEEN LIFTED! After like three years of both of our bands never being available at the same time, we are finally getting to play with @durian_grind for their album release party and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s a sick ass lineup with some great Philly grind bands, at Cousin Danny’s which is one of the most fun spots to have a show. Come out and go ape shit with us! We’ll be playing all of our new shit too!
