Studio 52 Spotlight: Drive-By Bukkake
What Studio 52 Says: Secreted out of Boston in 2006, Drive-By Bukkake (DBB) have been dropping loads of thrash throughout New England with a combination of vulgarity, booze, wrestling, and iconic movie samples. Listeners are taken back to some of the most obscene moments in cinema, then immediately thrown into some filthy, sludgy thrash. It’s an experience to hear them and live, a show full of crunchy comedic memories.
The band went through a slight lineup change in 2015 when original drummer Sam Hang left the group to focus on his family and was replaced by Greg Murphy; around the same time, they welcomed Tim Brault on bass. This powerhouse combination was then ready to release Crucial Loads a couple years later, a 14-track killer album filled to the brim with guest vocals. With the upcoming release of Spunk-O-Rama on July 12, DBB take a step back to their punk roots with five awesome covers from The Offspring, Misfits, Blink-182, Bad Religion, and Green Day.
Limited-edition slime green colored cassettes are available a whole day before the album is released onto most major streaming sites at their show July 11 at the Shaskeen in Manchester, New Hampshire. The free show begins at 9 p.m. and all the bands promote a strong message against pay-to-play shows. Spend all the money you saved on beer and an old-school cassette to support DBB.
