Hunx and His Punx is a West Coast band formed in 2009 by Seth Bogart (aka Hunx) with Shannon Shaw (Shannon & The Clams) and Erin Emslie (Secret Stare). “White Lipstick” b/w “Lose My Mind” is their first new release since 2013’s Street Punk. “White Lipstick” - named after an as-yet-unmade John Waters movie - is about being a queer teenager seeing women perform in bands and wanting to be just like them. “Lose My Mind” is a reflection on how terrible the world is, America’s abundance of guns, and wanting to give up and die, but deciding instead to keep fighting. It’s about thinking Fuck, what should all the women and queers and weirdos that don’t like guns do? Do we need them to protect ourselves? It’s about hating guns.

It has depth and range. I had only heard the title track on a radio show and was surprised by the rest of the record. I thought it was going to be kind of rockabilly but they are doing their own thing and its sophisticated and beautiful. _eyeam_good11
Every album is a new adventure with Shannon and the Clams. Looks like they've got a trip to space planned for us. So buckle up and enjoy the sparkling sounds that will abound. billstandard
Σtella's Greek-folk inflected pop sounds both vintage and subtly modern, like a lost gem sent from the magical nexus where 1966 meets 1986. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.

One senses the late Marlene Marder (of Kleenex/Liliput) would approve of the sharp, imaginative punk tunes from this Baltimore group. Bandcamp New & Notable May 25, 2016
