Sharpen Your Sticks

The Bags

High-octane garage rock that hits like a stampede. Fifteen tracks of raw, basement-born adrenaline blending punk speed with heavy 70s-style riffs.

It's like a 70s stadium rock band playing a basement punk show at 2x speed.

Relentless, high-octane energy filtered through a gritty, basement-show lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the primal, driving drum intro of Cavemen Rejoice that builds into a thick wall of fuzz
the sheer velocity of Believer where the vocals barely keep pace with the frantic rhythm
