punk this week: peace de résistance, white collar, the sleeveens + 6 more
Plus a crash course in the Piss Wizard trilogy, a feature-filled Cool Sorcery record, and some excellent hardcore from Ireland’s Bedsores
It’s Friday, July 26, and this is Punk This Week. It’s see/saw’s rundown of the new punk and rock’n’roll records that are worth a listen. This one’s led by the new album from Peace de Résistance, the glam rock solo project of Institute’s Moses Brown. There are also new records from White Collar and the Sleeveens. We also take a moment to introduce Piss Wizard. The new one from Ireland’s Bedsores is pretty sick, too.

Peace de Résistance: Lullaby for the Debris [La Vida Es Un Mus]
The second album from Moses Brown’s Peace de Résistance features a pile of slinky glam rock. The guitar sound is fluid and the vocals ooze personality out of his lax mouth. There’s a significant injection of Lou Reed in the DNA of this music, a temperament so laid back it’s easy to wonder if he’s actually laying back. There’s a lot going on in this music, a layered sound constructed with the studio and not the stage in mind. It’s a gutter-level takedown of the rich, this greasy deep-voiced makeup-donning poet dispassionately watching developers ruin a town.
