Don Caballero Give the World a <i>Punkgasm</i> With Second Relapse LP

BY Josiah HughesPublished Jun 20, 2008

Punkgasm is both an apt description of the first time I heard NOFX’s The Decline in high school, and the terribly awesome title of Don Caballero’s second LP for Relapse Records.

Headed by founding drummer Damon Che, the math rock pioneers will release their seventh proper album on August 25 surrounded by a month of tour-dates with Ponytail and An Albatross.

Punkgasm includes some trademark ridiculous song titles like "The Irrespective Dick Area” and "Shit Kids Galore,” and Che recently gave the album his utmost praise saying, "I know this sounds like an obligatory and potentially phony statement but, I at least, firmly believe this will be the 'best Caballero yet.' All clichés be detonated.”
