Idiot Genes specialize in a raw and immature style of punk, balancing explosive grunge and heavily damaged garage rock with a reckless lack of sobriety. The Boston quartet are crude and ready for debauchery, and it’s safe to say they don’t take themselves too seriously in the process. Channeling their mayhem into a genuine studio recording for the first time, Oof Bonk, the band’s latest album most certainly rips. Due out September 23 via Midnight Werewolf Records (Kal Marks, Lady Bones, Fórn), the record is focused on shattering the mundane and accepting the joys in a shitty existence.

Oof Bonk in an immediate record, reliant upon twisted heavy pop, dirty garage punk, and party grunge, the album is both sarcastic and brash, full of snotty attitude and enormous hooks. There’s no need to over think it… turn it up and let it ride. Idiot Genes like to drink, they like to smoke weed, they crack jokes, but most of all they like to make crushing riffs with howling vocals and sneering charm. They revel in the grime and dirt of the city, and it works for them.
