Just look at the damn thing. I know you should not judge a record by its cover, even though the art direction frequently is pretty diagnostic of the quality of the content. And yet, the album cover for Cosmic Joke’s new self-titled LP that was created by Ryan Besch looks so sweet, I’d probably buy it for that reason alone. The splatter vinyl variants look amazing as well.
If the looks of the thing draws you in – we immediately added it to our favorite cover art gallery, it’s the music of Cosmic Joke that makes you stay. The L.A. six-piece plays hardcore punk that is concise, fast, and comes with a high dose of adrenaline. The perfect soundtrack to your next skateboarding session or home workout indeed, although with Cosmic Joke racing themselves through 9 songs in 14 minutes, you may want to activate your repeat button.
Cosmic Joke is out now through Triple-B records.
