Twisted Teens is a band from New Orleans. Most musicians make you choose between rock and roll; Twisted Teens would never do that. Their political platform is religious psychosis; their music opens a door to a new universe by shutting all other doors to all other possible universes.
Fans of Raw Power-era Stooges, Eastern mysticism, or the punk-to-country pipeline should tuck in.

Here to put some steel wool type hair on your chest. Gritty, toothy lofi punk with some stoink on it.

Philadelphia’s Chained Bliss cuts rainy day punk with a sharp edge by threading simple melodies through driving rhythms. While often sounding reminiscent of past eras from proto-punk to early US hardcore they remain on their own unique course failing to become a caricature. Never going too far in one direction, Chained Bliss brings a live performance which pushes and pulls creating a seamless curation of sonic blasts. With a fuller release being teased the band continues to play behind the “Out of Touch” EP released on Stupid Bag Records.
