Part psych-rock, part punk-rock, and partially a totally unhinged garage band from New York, Super FM released their first proper LP today, and they’re calling it Fuckbird Barnacle, out of King Pizza Records. This is the trio’s first release since May 2015’s single “Hunger Strike,” (which is featured on the new record). But with this 11-song album, Super FM has proven they’re worth the wait.

The music itself is generally on the fuzzier, beachier side of the punk rock spectrum, but with practiced guitar licks and peculiar, catchy riffs, their sound somehow remains sharp. The lyrics are as apathetic as they are aggressive. Their vocals are two-fisted but dynamic. And, overall, Super FM is a band that’s hard to contain. Songs like “Dad Clone” and “Black Cigarette Haze” dip in and out of psychedelic, garage rock, but, with extra loud, thudding bass and a few noisy minor chords on “Bad Day” and “Worms,” Super FM also realizes their tru punk potential on Fuckbird Barnacle, which you can stream for free below. If ya like, order their cassette here.
