Phat ’n’ Phunky have found another cool band that makes our ears run hot. Bull Shannon debuted in 2022 with the four-song Chill Power!!!!! EP, and their Stamina pairs six brand-new tracks with that EP tucked onto the B-side.

For the new material, Chris Candy (Chotto Ghetto), Bob Vielma (Shinobu, Fuss), and Neil Hennessy (Lawrence Arms, Sparta) are joined by Jeff Rosenstock on six-string bass and baritone guitar. On paper, that’s a triple-bass situation, but in practice the songs sound huge, like there are far more moving parts at work. No bass fetish required to enjoy it.

Bull Shannon play punk that feels genuinely different—spastic and melodic in equal measure, full of stops, starts, and sharp left turns. It’s heavy and aggressive, but somehow also uplifting. Much easier to enjoy than to explain, so do yourself a favor and just hit play.
