Records that pummel, records that rip, records that pummel AND rip. Press play.
It’s Punk This Week, see/saw’s weekly review of the best new punk and rock'n'roll records. I hope you like wild, heavy guitar music designed to rip your face clean off, because this week we’ve got wild noise punk records, next level hardcore, and stomping budget rock from the crypt.
How do you learn all the good punk records, this week and every week hereafter until I’m a friendly ghost lurking at some basement show somewhere? You subscribe for $4/month, $40/year, or barter (aka pay what you want, just hit me up). This weekly column, bonus podcasts, and the always updating see/saw radio archive are available to paid subscribers.
Remember that this holiday season, you can always purchase a gift subscription to see/saw for anybody you know and love. I’m at the end of a day job contract, so every little bit of support is massive. Thanks for supporting independent media, now go support the punks. Shout out people who make things.
Amy Beth and Thee Creeps: Shitheel [Chaputa!]
Amy Beth and Thee Creeps is a raucous garage punk operation out of Portland with a hard emphasis on ramshackle budget rock rave-up. This band’s got that party-ready rock’n’roll stomp down, which is held down by the drummer-slash-vocalist Amy Beth. It’s the rare record in the year 2025 that deserves the signifier “rave up.” Pacific Northwest garage rock slathered in dirt and fuzz is a fine tradition to be part of, and this band delivers on a high level (while aesthetically operating out of the discount bin).
