"Bad Shit"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jul 7, 2015

It may have been delayed by a few months, but Los Angeles garage punk crew the Birth Defects' debut full-length, First 8 Mistakes, arrives fully formed this Friday (July 10). Ahead of the official release, you can stream a fiery, last-minute tease called "Bad Shit."

The track finds the group, comprising members of Bleached and Thee Oh Sees, delivering a tense blast of discordant chords and high-octane drum thumpin'. Vocalist Jason Finazzo, meanwhile, uses a fearsome but fun growl detailing sweat-soaked and sleepless nights.

The album was produced by Ty Segall and lands through Wavves founder Nathan Williams' Ghost Ramp imprint. You can pre-order the set now via iTunes.
