Cash Bribe - Fossils

Fossils is the first single off of Cash Bribe upcoming LP Escape From New York,Brooklyn-based heavy rock and rollers Cash Bribe are set to release their first LP "Escape From New York" on Fanxdangxo Records on December 1, 2023. Rooted in hardcore punk and rock and roll, "Escape" is steeped in influences across the spectrum of extreme music - modern hardcore, death metal, grindcore, powerviolence, and beyond - while embracing the art of songcraft with rabid earworms strewn throughout. "Escape" is a step up from the songwriting and production on the band's debut effort "Facemask City" (Jan. 2022) - the new songs maintain the raw feedback-laden attack seen on the first release, but hone their white-knuckle approach to writing and contain a more diverse array on influences in extreme music. At its core, Cash Bribe takes a lot of influence from hardcore progenitors Black Flag, particularly the band's Rollins-era run of classic records in the early-to-mid 80s. However, the band incorporates more modern influences as part of its approach - creating unsubtle rock and roll for today by mixing the most visceral elements of underground heavy music into a loud and vitriolic "fuck you" to the normalized rot consuming Western culture, the creeping fascism of fundamentalist idealogues, and the horrors of oligarchy on a melting planet. Cash Bribe was formed in Brooklyn in 2019 by Kirk, Larry, and a friend named Colin on bass - this early lineup recorded and released the debut lockdown-era EP "Facemask City" in January 2022. The new release "Escape From New York" unveils Cash Bribe's complete 4-piece lineup with Kirk on guitar, Larry on drums, Joe on vocals, and Brian on bass.
