Cut Piece - GUGI

   

   I'M GIVING UP ON GIVING IN...

  Cut Piece are from Portland, Oregon and feature vocalist Laura from Petite (a band who featured on here a few years back https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/12/petite-torches.html) alongside Mary (drums), Samantha (bass) & Zach (guitar). I posted a song from their Self Titled ep last year :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/09/cut-piece-accept-defeat-dont-sabotage-me.html

  Today sees the release of a debut album titled Your Own Good and it's every bit as impressive as I was expecting. It's available on vinyl and digital from Total Punk Records with the label enthusing thus; "Songs about the fucked-up state of our world, the overwhelming apathy of the population at large, self-empowerment, and the creeps who lurk the neighborhood. Featuring one of the hardest bangers in the game, a constant barrage of hook exchanges between the wiry guitars and rumbling bass, and a powerful vocalist shouting out calls to protest, ‘Your Own Good’ is an absolute banger of a debut. Dark, powerful, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!"

  I'm going to highlight the closing track as it has the same passion and intensity as the preceding 10 songs but the addition of some brass instrumentation sees it standing out from the crowd. It reminds me a little of Downtown Boys. It's called GUGI...
