As an added bonus in light of vinyl delays, we've compiled a collection of 32 "All New Brutality" demos from 2016-2022. Enjoy this limited time offer to the fullest extent!
From their masterfully titled, anthemic “Shit Opus,” to their growling, distorted guitar, Shutups could be effectively described as a group of anti-establishment California indie punks with a vested interest in encouraging capitalism’s implosion. Leaving it there would also be a disservice to the deliberation, complexity, and artistry in their music. The groups’ new album holds true to the distinctive niches they carved out to begin with, from bedroom pandemic production to post-isolation DIY maximalism. I can’t eat nearly as much as I want to vomit presents a very human expression of reality in spite of what is, overwhelmingly, a bad time––serving us a sort of seething, technicolor alternative sound that’s both intimate, furious, and inarguably cool.

Tracks 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 were written in Hadley’s bedroom in Oakland (2018-2019). Track 3 was first written instrumentally at M&M Studios in Oakland. Lyrically it went through several full rewrites before finally settling in October of 2021. Track 5 was written in Livermore in between shifts at the sheet metal shop in Hadley’s brother’s bedroom. The guitar solo was lifted directly from the original demo as it had been improvised in a single take and deemed too difficult to replicate for the album. Track 6 was written in snowy Flagstaff, AZ, in 2019. It features a harpsichord solo originally written in the bass closet of SFSU in 2011-2012. Track 7 was written in the summer of 2014 at Hadley’s parents house in Livermore. It was the first song set aside for a future band (Shutups). Track 10 was started in July 2019 in New Orleans in the band van before a show at Bank St. Bar. It was torn apart several times and finally finished at M&M studios in Jan/Feb of 2022.

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
