“Never Rest In Peace” is the stellar second album and
Alternative Tentacles debut by the smoking-hot punk supergroup featuring
Sturg “Stza” Crack (Leftover Crack, Choking Victim),
Frank Piegaro (The Degenerics), and
Nico de Gallo (Casa de Chihuahua), as well as members of
Hold Steady, Ensign, Big Attack!, Awkward Thought, and
Aloke. STAR FUCKING HIPSTERS returns this time for a much fiercer round of sonic glory, combining insanely catchy melodic punk and metal, with the token ska tune. The band has clearly grown since their first album, 2008's
Fat Wreck Chords release
"Until We're Dead.” A year's worth of star fucking live shows, writing, and off-the-map creativity from central
STAR FUCKING HIPSTER, Sturg, pays off with rock-solid songwriting and a sharper edge. Songs with an aggressive political slant take on topics like Native American issues (“Banned From the Land”), and a woman's right to choose (“Church & Rape”).
“Never Rest In Peace” is Sturg's most heartfelt and emotional album to date.
Recorded almost entirely in the band members' bedrooms at the world famous
C-Squat on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the thirteen songs on
"Never Rest In Peace" leap out of the stereo and club your not-so-friendly neighborhood cop with blunt songs of rebellion and revolution. Recorded by up and coming production wizard
Ryan D. Jones and mastered by
Howie Weinberg (
Beastie Boys, Metallica, Ramones, Rancid, Nirvana, Slayer), this is the best sounding record Stza's done since
Choking Victim's classic
"No Gods/No Managers."
The record includes cameos from
Dick Lucas (Subhumans U.K., Citizen Fish, Culture Shock),
Jasper Pattison (Citizen Fish, Culture Shock), and
Bryan Kienlen (Bouncing Souls). It includes art by famed DIY artists
Fly (“PEOPs,” Dog Dayz) and
Paul Barron. SFH have toured the U.S. and U.K., and are planning a West Coast Tour this November with
Citizen Fish (dubbed "Cracktoberfest") including a performance at the
Alternative Tentacles 30th Anniversary Festival.
