Brooklyn-based fuzz punk duo Punt have just released their new LP The Heat, their first record in eight years, out now via Trash Casual. Punt were initially formed in the 2010s when the duo were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. They recorded their first album, Oil, in a single week, and it was released in 2015. Shortly after, the duo separated, only to be reunited in New York City in 2021. The resulting new album proves the power of the band once again by delivering a riff-heavy and the perfect fuzzed-out sound that they are known for.
Listen to The Heat here.
The duo say:
“Punt has always been about music as a spontaneous social expression … hanging out together in a room and deferring to the voltage and the frequencies instead of really inserting yourself with all of your baggage or over-intellectualizing anything. We got together for a week during a heat wave and that’s exactly what we brought, that heat. This album deals with anger, revenge, passion, and murder. We’re both extremely passionate and fiery personalities with an uncompromising vision. These songs reflect the more taboo parts of ourselves and helped us put our energy into something we can be proud of.”
