CP Westman Orkester are back in the garage, risking tinnitus for the greater good. Whether out of pure necessity or sheer joy, the French/Swedish trio sound especially fired up on Backpack Baby. Pontus Westman (Big Kizz, Lady Banana, Tundra Fucks), Lo’Spider (Destination Lonely, Jerry Spider Gang), and Bart De Vraantijk (Bart and the Brats, Teenage Hearts, Skeptics) rip through four wild garage-punk blasts that are loud, raw, and surprisingly melodic.

The whole thing was recorded in a single day — maybe even in one take — and it shows in the best possible way. This is music that feels alive, unfiltered, and built to translate perfectly to the stage. For the first time, all songs are in English, which should only widen the band’s reach.

The 7″ is out now on Italy’s essential punk label Goodbye Boozy (who have a wicked start to 2026). European trifecta goodness completed.
