JJ And The A's "Rhetoric of Trash" LP

JJ AND THE A'S releases their first 12” aptly named “Rhetoric of Trash” - 12 songs exploring themes of post colonial moral decay and capitalist overconsumption, while still keeping it weird. This record explores a more subtle sound, with droning melodies and dissonant synths at times yet still evoking a classic SoCal punk style. You can get hints of influences from classic 80s punk like T.S.O.L. and REDD KROSS, with some old school hardcore stomp worming its way into a few songs even. This record captures a band clearly forging their own path thus making it hard to pinpoint the exact style, so have a listen.
