Punchdrunk "A Undiscovered Element"

June 24, 2020
Steve Koester

“A Undiscovered Element” was recorded direct to two track at Sorry Studios NYC in 1999. The album finds the band, in its final days, at its most impressively strange and pugnaciously stereophonic.

Punchdrunk "Wind Up the Devil Clock"

Punchdrunk was a rock band that started in the furnace room underneath my childhood living room in Whitefish Bay Wi in 1989 and ended in a rehearsal space underneath a bodega off of St. Marks in the East Village NYC in 1999.
