Veteran glam punks Subsonics from Atlanta, GA are on a West Coast tour. We caught them at Thee Stork Club in Oakland with a varied lineup of local bands.
First up were Oakland’s Johnny Maraca and The Marockers, high energy punk, highly entertaining. They have a cassette/digital LP from last year on their Bandcamp.
The Seagulls from San Francisco, fronted by British songwriter Jon Brooder play solid garage punk. They have a new (March 2023) release “This Time Next Year” on Bandcamp.
The penultimate band, Fantasy, are a bit of a mystery. We didn’t catch up with them at the show and we’re not sure if they have an online presence. They were more pop-y punk rock. We will update if we track down more information.
Atlanta, GA’s Subsonics have been around since 1992 and have 8 full-length releases under their belt. Signed to Slovenly Records, they deliver stripped down, minimal rock’n’roll.
