Interviews: Tahlena and Mike of Bite Me Bambi talk their new record 'Eat This'

Since their formation in Southern California in 2018 Bite Me Bambi have been kicking out an infectious mix of ska and pop-punk. They bring their songs to life with incredibly energetic live shows, creative music videos, and excellent production which can be heard on their 2020 debut EP Hurry Up and Wait as well as on their upcoming record Eat This. From start to finish Eat This is an explosion of creativity that finds Bite Me Bambi truly coming into their own. The band pulls no punches as they celebrate being themselves and take a deep dive into love and relationships with exceedingly danceable arrangements and lyrics that are full of bite. Eat This will be out everywhere on February 14. You can pre-save it here or pre-order it here. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with lead vocalist Tahlena Chikami and keyboardist Mike Berault to talk about the record, the importance of making the music you want to make, their favourite gas stations, and so much more. Read the interview below! This interview between Em Moore, Tahlena Chikami, and Mike Berault took place on January 31 via Zoom. This is a transcription of their conversation and has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

mclusky to release new album, share “way of the exploding dickhead” video

mclusky have announced that they will be releasing a new album. It is called the world is still here and so are we and will be out on May 9 via Ipecac Recordings. In 2023 mclusky released a four-song EP (their first new songs in 19 years at the time) and two songs from that EP – “unpopular parts of a pig” and “the digger you deep” will be on this album. The band has also released a video for their new song “way of the exploding dickhead” which was directed by Remi Lamont. The band's most recent album was 2004's The Difference Between Me And You Is That I’m Not On Fire. They released a remastered version of that album in 2024. Check out the video and tracklist below.

Exclusive Videos: Watch the new video by Tea Eater!

Today we are extremely excited to bring you the premiere of the new video by Brooklyn-based garage rockers Tea Eater! The video is for their new song “Little White Dog (in a Gated Community)” and was shot and edited by Emily Hughston Hoffman. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video, vocalist and guitarist Tarra Thiessen (who also plays in Gustaf and Sharkmuffin), said, "Little White Dog (in a Gated Community)" is a song about being reincarnated as a little white dog in a gated community.  The verses describe the void between lives when you have to “push your face up,” or release your old identity, empty your “spiritual batter,” or the memory of your previous life, and pick a new “soul container,” in this case the container of a little white dog in a gated community. The moral is to not be ashamed of whatever life phase you’re in right now, regardless of how silly or serious it might feel.  The song was inspired by the 100 little white dogs that live in the New Jersey gated community where my mom and grandma live. My friend Emily Hughston Hoffman filmed the music video in this gated community on a sunny 25-degree day in January with the idea that the little white dog is on a psychedelic trip and is reminding themselves that they are a little white dog in a gated community so they don't completely lose grip on reality.”“Little White Dog (in a Gated Community)” will be out everywhere on February 14 and is Tea Eater’s second single from their upcoming album I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck. The album will be out on March 28 and you can pre-order it right here. Watch the video below!
