Hard hitting punks, Hit Bargain, featuring members from Beach Fossils and Cold Beat, return with their latest album, A DOG A DEER A SEAL. The record's unusual title is a nod to the recipe of Chinese three-penis wine and a symbolic representation of the three branches of the U.S. government.
Staying true to their radical artistry, Hit Bargain showcase their versatile style throughout the new album. Lead track, Degree Decree, finds them navigating a chaotic dystopian world, reminiscent of the spirit of post hardcore greats, The Blood Brothers, and the rebellion of artful post punks, Erase Errata.
This album was written and recorded in the turbulent times of 2019 and early 2020, and naturally became a summarization of a nation teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown, influenced by the anxieties of the current era.
Accompanying Degree Decree is a music video which underscores the band's sardonic and satirical qualities, adding another layer to their music's impact.
