Chumped

Brooklyn's Chumped have been leaving their mark on the local punk scene for a little while now (and just returned home from The Fest), and this past October they finally put out their self-titled debut EP. It's a super catchy, super fun EP of pop punk with lower-fi indie rock sensibilities like The Get Up Kids or Superchunk. Singer Anika Pyle's got razor sharp delivery, dropping lines like "The subway smells like shit, but it's lovely isn't it? / In the sense that it will take you anywhere," in EP opener "Union Square." And though subtle, the guitar riffs are endless. Take a listen to the EP in full below.

Chumped will be celebrating the record with a release show in their hometown on Friday (11/15) at Suburbia (330 Melrose St). The show's got a great lineup, including Waxahatchee/Swearin-associate Sam Cook-Parrott's emotionally-charged basement punk project Radiator Hospital and another great Salinas-signed Philly DIY punk band The Ambulars, plus Suburbia residents Living Room (literally, they live there, pun intended?), Scottish sad-bastard acoustic punk Billy Liar, and NYC's Outta Gas. $5 at the door. Show flyer below.

As discussed, Radiator Hospital also has some upcoming shows with Potty Mouth including January 6 at Glasslands. Tickets for that show are still available.
