HUNX AND HIS PUNX have returned with Street Punk—a new album filled with the catchiest and most hateful punk songs heard in eons. Street Punk is an unrelenting tour de force, echoing early 80s hardcore, 90s grrl sounds, Darby Crash on helium, and the female answer to The Misfits.
After members dropping like flies and moving around the country, Hunx and His Punx is now led by Seth Bogart and Shannon Shaw, who split songwriting and vocal duties. In the years since their last album, 2011’s Too Young To Be in Love, Seth recorded a solo album called Hairdresser Blues (2012) and started a homemade TV Show called Hollywood Nailz, while Shannon released Dreams In The Rat House (2013) with her other band Shannon and the Clams. Somehow during all of this Seth and Shannon managed to secretly meet in Los Angeles and Oakland to gob out Street Punk.
Recorded in just a couple days by Facundo Bermudez (who has produced albums by Mika Miko and No Age), Street Punk includes a cover of the Beastie Boys’ early hardcore anthem “Egg Raid on Mojo” and songs about bad skin, teen angst, social wimpery, trash, isolation, schizophrenia, peroxided delusion, rat parties and vengeance.

“
There are few bands that can accurately evoke the sounds of the Olympia, Washington music scene in the early ’90s. But who’s to blame? There’s a lot to live up to when it comes to that infamous booming post-hardcore scene that was influencing bands like Beat Happening, Unwound, Nirvana, and Sleater-Kinney. However Broken Water, a trio from Olympia, has respectively represented the new wave of emerging artists in the northwestern American music scene. Their second album, Tempest, is drenched in distortion and noise that call to artists like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.
“When You Said,” begins with somber guitar playing that makes you think, well here’s that shitty sad slow song on the album. However just past that one minute mark is exactly why I love Broken Water so much. Slowly, like a creeping fog, distortion begins to flow over the track with heavy waves of chaotic and strange noise.
The rest of the album continues to keep these elements. Tempest is droned out, a little unkept, all while evoking hauntingly beautiful elements with the harmonizing of all the band members.
