Leave it to The Dumpies (Astoria, Oregon) to pack 19 songs into just 19 minutes, leaving you satisfied but still hungry for more. With their new Gay Boredom LP, the band delivers a wild ride through the punk spectrum without ever overstaying their welcome.
Effortlessly switching between Dirtnap-style garage pop punk (Ballad of Two Stubborn Men, Locked Groove, Gobblers Knob), lightspeed hardcore punk (Hats, Cum Gutter Punks), and lo-fi garage punk reminiscent of their split single soulmates Night Court (Egg Timer (which was part of said single), Dumpies Theme), the record keeps you guessing. Toss in timeless garage pop with the title track, and hybrids like Hot Wash, and the excitement only builds with each listen.
The Dumpies know how to respect your time—Gay Boredom flies by in a blur of punk goodness, touching so many corners of the punk universe that it feels like the perfect one-stop shop for fans everywhere. Out now on Dirt Cult Records.
