"They named their record for a genre with minimal soul, food that can’t nourish, and sound that’s fleeting. But when I hit play on this record they smash me with soul and force-feed me with knowledge, and I can’t stop listening until all 18 psychedelic punk tracks have had their way with me."

Stream Moxiebeat's new "vicious psychedelic punk" album, Pop Sounds, in its entirety, via Cvlt Nation, here:
Moxiebeat is not just a band, but an Inland Empire collective of sorts that have worked to push their ethics in the form of creating local safe spaces for artists and activists, a record label (Ethospine Noise) since 2001, and music since 2013. It is a three piece noisy punk band made up of Tomas L. Acosta (Tomasacre) on drums, Brent Aragon (B-Train) as bassist/vocalist, and Fritz Aragon (Zufos) as guitarist/vocalist. Members of the band are also founding members of Riverside community radical space, Blood Orange Infoshop (RIP). Activities there included “art shows, running nazis out of town, harm reduction, homeless advocacy, and general activism.” Here, they booked similarly radical, heavy, and DIY-based bands like The Evens, Alice Bag, Cloud Rat, ACXDC, Hot Nerds, Despise You, Loma Prieta, Thou, The Body, Shit Coffins, and Graf Orlock.
Pop Sounds is being released October 30th on their label, Ethospine Noise, marking its 35th release. Preorder the transparent neon pink, limited edition vinyl, here.
