JJ AND THE A'S releases their first 12” aptly named “Rhetoric of Trash” - 12 songs exploring themes of post colonial moral decay and capitalist overconsumption, while still keeping it weird. This record explores a more subtle sound, with droning melodies and dissonant synths at times yet still evoking a classic SoCal punk style. You can get hints of influences from classic 80s punk like T.S.O.L. and REDD KROSS, with some old school hardcore stomp worming its way into a few songs even. This record captures a band clearly forging their own path thus making it hard to pinpoint the exact style, so have a listen.creditsreleased September 26, 2025 1.Rhetoric of Trash 02:092.The Bug 01:263.In Vogue 02:154.Fool's Gold 01:045.Roadkill 01:326.Needles 01:367.The Wraith 01:548.Manifest Destiny 01:099.Generator 00:5810.Affirmative Denial 01:5811.Foreign Aid 00:5412.The Dancer 02:58
