Triple Lutz – In The Hands Of An Angry Mob

Triple Lutz is Portland, Oregon’s one and only Tonya Harding-core band. Half queer, half femme, and half bald. Full of frenzied energy and anthemic fury, these rippers never fail to deliver a hot-blooded and impassioned performance, leaving first-timers both enthralled and invested. Triple Lutz is a high-energy punk band from Portland known for their raw, chaotic sound and playful, irreverent identity. Formed around 2017, they’ve carved out a niche in the local DIY scene with what they jokingly describe as “Tonya Harding-core”a tongue-in-cheek label that reflects both their scrappy attitude and hard-hitting style. Blending elements of hardcore, garage, and melodic punk, the band delivers short, punchy songs driven by frenetic energy and shouted, anthemic vocals. Their releasesincluding Whiplash (2018), X (2022), and various demoscapture different iterations of the lineup while maintaining a consistent, purposefully unpolished intensity With a reputation for lively performances and a strong presence in Portland’s underground music community, Triple Lutz stands out as a fiercely DIY, unapologetically fun punk act.
