Hooks so infectious they rot on impact. With Trash Classic, Los Angeles psych-punk juggernauts Frankie & The Witch Fingers unleash their most unhinged and sonically ambitious album to date. Out now, the record doesn’t just push boundaries, it razes them. Synth-punk spasms, industrial grime, and angular proto-punk collide across ten tracks that buzz, bite, and slither with feral intent. Recorded with producer Maryam Qudus at Tiny Telephone Studio in Oakland, the project draws its jagged energy from both the wasteland setting of Vernon, LA and the band’s cartoon-fueled studio rituals. The band even released a fully playable Gutter Priestess video game and a "Trash Classic" coffee blend, proving their genre-defying creativity spills far beyond music alone.
Every day began with Looney Tunes blaring, every night ended with sugar-fueled mania—capturing the record’s twisted euphoria and spastic rebellion. Tracks like Economy and Gutter Priestess layer neon-lit synths over guttural basslines, while the vocals cut through like distorted pirate radio, transmitting themes of escapism, decay, and digital-era absurdity. The lead-up to release saw sold-out shows in London and NYC, and a final blowout in LA seals the celebratory chaos. "Trash Classic" isn’t just an album—it’s a warped transmission from the seediest corners of punk’s evolving bloodstream.
