BUNDLES – DEAF DOGS

Boston punk outfit Bundles celebrate their first four years together with their debut full length album, Deaf Dogs. This is the band’s first collaboration with Gunner Records of Bremen, Germany. The album was recorded in multiple sessions at various studios throughout the Boston area. These 12 songs deliver a potent mixture of raw rage and contemplative ennui. They feature an idiosyncratic and powerful vocal performance by Josh Egan, whose time as a marine informs the band’s unique perspective. Underscoring these themes of dissatisfaction and fury is a propulsive rhythm section that drives the tunes with a powerful bass tone and feverish drums. The band’s ferocious intensity is only matched by the thoughtful complexity of the lyrics.
