Released in September 2024 on the Tutl label, THE RESON FOR HARDCORE VIBES III by Joe & The Shitboys delivers ten tracks steeped in the queercore and riot grrrl ethos. The record carries the raw immediacy and confrontational spirit characteristic of its genres, underscored by the abrasive energy of tracks like "FUCK EVERYBODY." The band’s approach channels a defiant urgency, preserving the underground punk lineage with a modern bite.Though the album’s audience remains niche—garnering just over seven thousand plays on Last.fm—it stands as a testament to the persistent vibrancy of these scenes. Joe & The Shitboys operate within a compact but fervent canon, their work a signal of continued resistance and identity forged in the crucible of DIY punk. This release is a valuable artifact for those tracing the contours of contemporary queer and feminist punk expressions.
