Philadelphia’s Chained Bliss make their debut on the wantlist today with a new three-song EP, though honestly, they should’ve shown up here already with their 2022 self-titled LP on Drunken Sailor Records. The new tape—out now via Stupid Bag Records—hits fast, raw, and refreshingly off-kilter.

Chained Bliss are not your average punk band, and while being a little left of center doesn’t always pay off, it absolutely does here. Their sound is all raw nerve and big-room ambition, the kind of punk that feels both feral and oddly sing-along ready. These songs pull you in, stick around, and make you want to run them back immediately. And judging by their latest post on Instagram, more new music is already on the way—keep an eye on this crew.
