BRAINWASHER RECORDS NEWS📰⚡️

Hey you, my dear egg punk! 🐣⛓️

Today is your day—it’s time for some weird and dancey moves! It’s another digital release day on Brainwasher Records! Liminal Safe Space by GREEN FINGERS LTD. is streaming now! 💥

The actors of the Tbilisi Theater of the Absurd, after long performances in local venues, have finally given birth to a release!

An album where every song is a surprise. Chorus guitars intertwined with wailing synthesizers suddenly give way to hardcore punk sections and end with noise-rock homages, clearly hinting at a love for Brainbombs. All of this takes the form of a parodic masquerade, where the legacy of Gnarkill meets the biting satire of The Dead Milkmen.
Each track, like their noscripts, is one big mockery of the absurd world and existence within it.
Loneliness, self-irony, and love that is more telepathetic than telepathic.
And in this reality, one of the possible comforts is listening to true crime podcasts:

"Obey by Brainbombs, Dead Roses by No Trend
A long dead maniac is my best friend
I’m too scared to go on a spree
So im just better off watching murders on tv"

This release will be out on cassettes in spring 2025 as collaboration between Brainwasher Records, Total Slob and Electric Depression

Take care,
