Street Hassle [LP]

Puffer - Street Hassle [LP]

This is not the end of a dark alleyway in some US city, this is not the bottom of a platform heel in England, this is not the back corner of some dusty drawer at a record fair in Holland. These are not the places you'll find rock and roll. This is Quebec: A different sensory perception of rock and roll. A heightened awareness of the highest highs and the lowest lows. This is Belgium with snowmobiles, Catholic Texas, Ugly France. All the crumbling highways, the coldest beers, and the loudest joints. Guitars do different things in Quebec. Puffer shimmy across the invisible barricade between Montreal and the rest of the world not just as another crop of punks but as the great descendants and inheritors of modern greats like INEPSY's Rock and Roll Babylon and Annihilation Time's II. Loud, brash, unrelenting. You'll go deaf before you get bored of it. Self-produced, self-recorded, and mixed by the band, this is the vanguard of punk that has lived long beyond its moments of origin. This pure blast of 1979 by way of the hellish weimar end-times of 2025 never made the necessity of punk rock feel so real. 01. Jimmy_x000D_ 02. I'm Out_x000D_ 03. Gimme The Bone_x000D_ 04.
