Hunx & His Punx release their new full-length Street Punk, June 23 on Hardly Art. As the title implies, is a dramatic departure from the band’s previous outing, 2011’s Too Young to Be in Love, and includes a deep-cut Beastie Boys cover (“Egg Raid on Mojo”) and brief, blistering anthems like “Everyone’s a Pussy (Fuck You Dude).”

After members dropping like flies and moving around the country, Hunx and His Punx is now led by Seth Bogart and Shannon Shaw, who split songwriting and vocal duties. In the years since their last album, 2011’s Too Young To Be in Love, Seth recorded a solo album called  Hairdresser Blues (2012) and started a homemade TV Show called Hollywood Nailz, while Shannon released Dreams In The Rat House (2013)  with her other band Shannon and the Clams.  Somehow during all of this Seth and Shannon managed to secretly meet in Los Angeles and Oakland to gob out Street Punk.

Recorded in just a couple days by Facundo Bermudez (who has produced albums by Mika Miko and No Age), Street Punk includes a cover of the Beastie Boys’ early hardcore anthem “Egg Raid on Mojo” and songs about bad skin,  teen angst, social wimpery, trash, isolation, schizophrenia, peroxided delusion, rat parties and vengeance.
