When a band picks a name as wildly, intentionally offensive as Fentanyl, then you know they mean business. When the new band Fentanyl announced their existence a few weeks ago, we had people emailing to lecture us about even posting a band with a name like that. Well, uh, sorry. Fentanyl are a punk band. Punk bands sometimes do distasteful things, like naming themselves Fentanyl.

Fentanyl are a Bay Area hardcore supergroup, and their lineup includes members of bands like Spiritual Cramp, Spy, and World Peace. The band’s self-titled debut is out next month, and they already shared three tracks. Now they’ve got another one, a frantic and tinny minute-and-a-half slash-attack called “Silver Hour.” They’ve also announced a tour with their fellow offensively named Convulse Records act Mexican Coke, a total no-brainer team-up. The Phoenix and Boise dates have absolutely ridiculous lineups. Below, check out “Silver Hour” and those tour dates.

Fentanyl is out 9/13 via Convulse. If your copy is late to arrive, there’s a good reason for that.

If you ordered a Mexican Coke or G.O.O.N. record they will start shipping next week. Customs delayed allowing our pallet of records in – might have something to do with the boxes saying “Fentanyl” and “Mexican Coke” on the side
