Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by he onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Glassing, Planet B), Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted, JR Slayer) approach music as a chance to confront our collective sicknesses. The band initially released their debut EP, Contemporary Sickness, as well as a Remix cassette EP of bonus remixes via Three One G in 2019.
Although Contemporary Sickness delivered its own blastbeat-fueled urgency in message and tone, their debut full-length Productive Disruption, released in 2022, ventured deeper into the abyss. Having had time to stew in the cesspool of two years of pandemic and mutating into its newest variant, the album presented a death threat to some, a love letter to others.
Most recently, the band released Bad Songs Forever, an EP on Three One G Records. Here, Deaf Club yet again confidently emerged angrier, evolved, more focused and thus, more dangerous. Since then the band has been continuously touring primarily across America, while also playing the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, and sharing the stage with bands such as Converge, Melt-Banana, John Waters, Negative Approach, Napalm Death, Unbroken, and Saetia.
“...relentless, furious grindy hardcore.”
-BrooklynVegan
“Deaf Club have assembled a blistering all-star cast set to full scale decibel peak.”
-Cvlt Nation
“...high energy, future fucking, spastic grind... seared by neon gas on top of the sound of the tears of snowflake Republicans bawling about the forthcoming wheels of fascism not spinning fast enough for their liking.”
-Decibel
“It’s like someone mixed Red Bull and Adderall and cocaine into your coffee… lawless, lethiferous hardcore.”
-Metal Sucks

Fuck Money is an American space punk band based in Austin, TX. The group debuted in October 2021 consisting of members TaSzlin Trébuchet (vocals) Alton Jenkins (drums), Bill Kenny (lead guitar), and Jeremy Humphries (bass guitar). Their sound draws on punk rock, noise, industrial, extreme music and other transgressive subgenres.
The band has created a reputation of performing high energy, sporadic DIY shows in liminal spaces throughout the dark corners of the city-- The Austin Chronicle noted how “the band’s churning feedback swirl is equal parts imposing and obfuscating – curiously serene in its refusal to give its sonic-aggression a clear human face.” Their vocalist is also known for donning an unpredictable and tantalizing look at each show.
Described as sounding like “a fully rabid Deerhoof,” the merciless & melodic stick-work of Alton Jenkins, paired with the visceral intensity of frontman TaSz Trébuchet, guides listeners down a path of challenging, awe-inspiring sonic behavior adorned with biting yet hyper-melodic guitar melodies. Death From Above’s Jesse F. Keeler aptly explains their debut self-titled EP simply as, “Feeling at all costs. If I was trying to explain this to someone with no reference, I’d say it was like a pomegranate. Challenging to get at the fruit, but worth the effort.“
