Two West Coast punk bands, Seattle’s The Drowns and LA’s The Last Gang, are teaming up to release a split 7″ on Pirates Press Records. It’s got one new song from each band, and we’re premiering those songs right here. The Drowns’ “Subculture Rock ‘N’ Roll” is a gritty, swaggering ripper that kinda sounds like Fucked Up covering AC/DC, and The Last Gang’s “Pleaser” uses catchy ’90s-style skate punk to take on the culture of superficial beauty standards. Check both out below.
The Last Gang begin their tour supporting Mad Caddies in Buffalo tonight (6/14), and that hits Brooklyn Monarch on Friday (6/16) and Long Island’s Spotlight on Saturday (6/17). All dates are listed below.
The Drowns also have upcoming tour dates and those are listed below too.
