Japan's Pinprick Punishment on US tour, playing NYC on Wed; Replica touring & playing NYC too (dates & streams)

Tokyo’s Pinprick Punishment have been touring the US over the past month. The group is an interesting mix of hardcore and experimentalism, recalling the dissonance of later Black Flag and the choppy rhythms of Bl’ast, thus rightfully earning the ‘weird’ tag on their Bandcamp page for their 2013 EP Join My Army…

Permanent Ruin released an EP, touring before Smash It Dead Fest (dates, stream & lineup)

California has a long history of deranged-sounding punk rock, and San Jose’s Permanent Ruin uphold that tradition admirably.
