Out today: PLQ MRX - Cumgitsum

Cumgitsum, the debut EP by PLQ MRX, is out today.

From Philadelphia, PLQ MRX is a motley (and often, masked) crew rumored to include members affiliated with Swans, Unsane, Ecstatic Vision, Author & Punisher, and more. The sound is a raw, grimy, sludgy brand of punk with an acid-fried aesthetic. Reference points include Flipper, Butthole Surfers, and Chat Pile... but the band members prefer to credit Funkadelic as an influence.

"There once was a group of Philly noise rockers called Plaque Marks... Plaque Marks are gone but PLQ MRX have risen to take their place, pushing the band’s raucous noise rock in new, Funkadelic-inspired directions."
–Decibel

"A sludgy, psychedelic-tinged brand of punk, laced with rich instrumentation, infectious grooves, and a wild unpredictability."
–Destroy//Exist

"Enter PLQ MRX's bizarre circus of deviance... 'Cumgitsum' is a bizarre ode to bands like Butthole Surfers, Flipper and, to some extent, Don Van Vliet’s works. This is all contained within the package that includes various references to drug use and the dark side of what clowns can be."
–Invisible Oranges

"Emerging from the back alleys of Philadelphia’s noise rock underbelly, PLQ MRX is a masked collective of sonic delinquents who sound like Flipper got lost in a Funkadelic bender... If noise rock is entering a more performative, psychedelic phase, PLQ MRX are here to set the stage on fire, douse it in cough syrup, and sell the ashes as merch."
–It's Psychedelic Baby

"This is some twisted, heavy, and acid-damaged 'noise' rock. In an age where most bands give you the bare minimum, or routine formulas, it’s refreshing to hear a band that goes all-out in pursuit of their vision, especially when it is something as out-there as this one."

–New Noise
