Bloodstains – S/T [IMPORT] – New LP

Punk band from Santa Ana, CA.  Debut LP, originally self-released in 2024.

Another ripper from Drunken Sailor records, launching into it from the get-go with an instrumental opener ("The Last Rites") which really connects it with a SoCal punk rock tradition formed a million years ago...the second cut carving out their own sound, lifted up on a booming bottom, seasoned drummer Vincent Catanho pounding it out, everyone else from some unknown places but clearly knowing what they doing, breaking bones and prying open caskets, locking arms and charging forward, keeping a grip on it from go to whoa, not a weak moment.  -- winch (green noise)

"the whole thing absolutely fkn rips...Vocalist Cesar Marin splits his delivery between a sneering bark and a purposeful, melodic croon… which itself sounds it’s made from sandpaper and vitriol, but there you go...you’ll rarely have been so glad to have something turned up so loud it blows holes in your speakers." Will Fitzpatrick.
