Intro

This is the sound of a beach party that turned into a riot. It takes the classic, twangy reverb of 60s surf music and slams it into the brick wall of modern hardcore punk. The guitars are thin and biting, the drums are relentless, and the vocals are delivered with a throat-shredding urgency that feels like it was recorded in a single, sweaty take.

What sets this apart is the specific collision of subcultures. It is not just fast music; it is music that carries the salt-spray grit of the coast alongside the urban frustration of the punk scene. The production is intentionally unpolished, favoring the kinetic energy of a live performance over studio perfection, resulting in a sound that feels dangerous and immediate.

Start with the 'Mind Beach Demo' to hear the project at its most primal. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants their punk with a side of jagged, surf-inspired melody and a lot of feedback.
