For this split, The HIRS Collective combine chaotic forces with Deaf Club on an original track, “Biblical Loophole” as well as a Nirvana cover of “Tourette’s.” The HIRS Collective exists to fight for, defend, and celebrate the survival of trans, queer, poc, black, women and any and all other folks who have to constantly face violence, marginalization, and oppression. They are “a collective of freaks and faggots that will never stop existing. Infinite and never ending. No one is going to kill us, we are going to live forever.”
Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Justin Pearson, Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment, and Collin Peter Smith, approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses.
Fuck Money is an American scrape rock band based in Austin, TX. The group debuted in October 2021 consisting of members TaSzlin Trébuchet, Alton Jenkins, Bill Kenny, and Jeremy Humphries. Their sound draws on punk rock, noise, industrial, extreme music and other transgressive subgenres. The merciless & melodic stick-work of Alton Jenkins paired with the visceral intensity of frontman TaSz Trébuchet guides listeners down a path of challenging yet awe-inspiring sonic behavior.

Label-mates and comrades Deaf Club and Fuck Money will be touring EU/UK together in April of 2024, while The HIRS Collective have a run of US shows supporting The Armed coming up in March.

This 7” split is available digitally as well as on limited edition color vinyl in three variants, ketchup, mustard, and splatter.

N8NOFACE & PLANET B feat. Ms. Boan - split 7”

N8NOFACE has been described as a Chicano Flannery O’Connor playing chiptune Ministry, the Sleaford Mods of the American Southwest, Suicide for the 21st Century and Ghostmane meets darkwave synthpunk dashed with early Ween’s glue-huffing pop. Lyrically, his sometimes romantic, oftentimes violent storytelling tunes lean toward Narcocorrido, the bloody ballads of Mexican drug cartels. It sounds dark on the surface, but really N8NOFACE’s music is a lot of fun, and as exciting and cathartic as the birth of punk rock and hiphop.

Sharing the split is Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, Deaf Club, The Locust), Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera), Kevin Avery (Field Day, Retox) and Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing) who formed Planet B with the shared purpose of creating music subversive in sound and sobering in message. Their music is rooted in hip hop, hardcore punk, turntablism, and 70s-80s horror movie scores. Throughout the band's existence, they have been consistently collaborating with influential artists suchs as Kool Keith, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Martin Atkins (ex-PiL, Killing Joke, Ministry, Pigface), ADULT. and Invisibl Skratch Piklz, among many others. For this release, Planet B creates alongside Ms.BOAN (Medio Mutante, //TENSE//) moody, mysterious & experimental, visionary synth-pop legend Mariana A Saldaña brings to the collaboration the stormy emotions of coldwave, the ecstatic energy of EBM, and influences absorbed through her Mexican-American heritage. Serving up intense dance-pop, Ms.BOAN performs with a dramatic, emotional spirit.

This 7” split will be available digitally as well as on limited edition color vinyl in two variants, “bloodshot eyeball” and “half battery.” Digital version has the remix bonus track of N8NOFACE’s “Makes Me Wanna Scream (Planet B Remix)".

PLANET B Feat. BOAN "ConnectiveTissue"

In Episode 36 of this podcast, Justin and Luke join their Planet B bandmates Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing) and Kevin Avery (Cnts, Buddha Trixie) to talk about the band as a whole. They cover its beginnings, how it operates with what is essentially three drummers (two live drummers and Luke using two MPCs), and the process of writing lyrics for a band that may be too strange for people to get totally comfortable with, having one foot in hip hop and one in punk. With their second full LP, Fiction Prediction, they consider the evolution of the band, the influences driving them, and the differences from one album to the next. They also talk about the visual aesthetics of their performances as well as other memorable performance setups they've seen, and their "definitively maximal" sound.

The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor. He is perhaps best known as bassist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Some Girls as well as vocalist for Deaf Club, Swing Kids, and Planet B. Having traveled the world touring in hardcore and punk bands since age 15, Justin has come to know and work with a broad spectrum of captivating personalities and brilliant minds, many of which are key figures in the realm of popular culture and cult followings alike-- from being on the soundtrack to John Waters’ Cecil B. Demented, to acting in an Asia Argento’s Incompresa, to playing in Dead Cross with Mike Patton and Dave Lombardo. Cult and Culture arose as an opportunity to document bits and pieces of the DIY-driven, subversive world of art Pearson identifies with- one that many are not aware of or perhaps have misconceptions about.

Eventually, Pearson joined up with producer and bandmate Luke Henshaw (Sonido De La Frontera, Planet B, Satanic Planet, First Power Crew) to build the idea into a proper podcast, now recorded at his own PengOne Studios in San Diego. Henshaw has collaborated with hip hop legends such as Invisible Skratch Piklz’ D-Styles and Q-Bert, Kool Keith, in addition to being immersed in the world of Cumbia alongside Sonido De La Frontera bandmate Karlos Paez (B Side Players). He also recently scored the music for upcoming documentary Sk8face, which tells the history of skateboard graphics. In this way, both Justin and Luke are influenced by a diverse array of subcultures that all have connected roots. John Waters was one of the first people interviewed for the podcast- an icon of both cult and culture. Since then, guests have included a broad scope of musicians, producers, authors, and anyone passionate about what they do-- anyone from Grammy-winning musician Juan Alderete (Mars Volta, Racer X, creator of Pedals And Effects) to actor Michael Malarkey (Vampire Diaries, Project Bluebook), from San Diego Black Panther Party members to longtime partners Nicola and Adam in electro-punk band ADULT. or The Satanic Temple cofounder Lucien Greaves (who would go on to form Satanic Planet with Luke and Justin as a direct result of their podcast conversation). The focus is not intended to be solely on people in any one realm, and because guests are friends and family, the conversations are frank, informal yet well-informed, and genuine. Pearson and Henshaw seek to achieve a casual openness, blurring lines between traditional guest and host. Cult and Culture is part of Ruinous Media.

Cult & Culture Podcast Episode 36 feat. Planet B

In the latest episode of Cult and Culture, Luke and Justin have a conversation with Lucien Greaves, co-founder of The Satanic Temple and Satanic Planet. Some may remember that they had done an earlier episode with him in 2019; since then, and largely as a result of that podcast conversation, they created Satanic Planet, a musical project which combines the previously formed Planet B with the addition of Greaves (They also went on to enlist Dave Lombardo for the recording of both albums). Here, they discuss the evolution of the band from their initial vision, and how the newest album which is currently being recorded has shifted from the first in numerous ways, including the overall purpose and instrumentation used. Lucien gives insight into being on stage as a vocalist for the first time, and the ability to really enjoy the experience and share positive energy with the crowd rather than the more combative lecture settings he has become accustomed to. They also reflect on playing the Indiana State Capitol show as a counter to Christian Fundamentalist Sean Feucht's "Let Us Worship" tour, and talk about the future of the band, including their goal of playing the DC Capitol Building.

Cult & Culture Podcast Episode 37 feat. Satanic Planet

In this episode, Justin and Luke talk with Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos, Disheveled Cuss, Death Grips, Pinback). They talk less about the technical proficiency that Nick clearly has, but the morals connected with being a musician. Nick reflects on the importance of Tera Melos for himself, and Nick and JP share the memories and lore surrounding Tera Melos playing with The Locust, considering how technical, weird, and aggressive music emerged during that time. Reinhart also shares a bit about his process for his solo project, Disheveled Cuss, a more "normal" approach to music than he has ever done, which for him felt like one of the riskier things he could do. They also encourage the audience to consider the artistic choices bands make when performing, from counting into a song to the intentionality of talking (or not talking) to the crowd. They discuss the question: "Does it still ALL come back to Fugazi?" and muse on the concept of selling your music to a McDonald's commercial for a million dollars, culminating in a pact.

Cult And Culture Episode 38 - Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos

In Episode 39 of the Cult and Culture Podcast, Luke and Justin interview two of their yoga instructors, Jamie Lee and Nam Chanterwyn. Both of these teachers have a unique style to instructing, as well as interesting approaches to life that, in many ways, tie into the concepts of being in a band. Luke and Justin wanted to take this episode to focus on a different point of view that may challenge what many assume when they think of yoga, as they both practice it regularly themselves. They talk about working with the body donation program and being a licensed funeral director (Jamie), teaching yoga full time at 22 classes a week (Nam), horror movies, the frustration and ego of practicing yoga, cultural appropriation and acting with intentionality rather than out of habit, and the Prison Yoga Project. They discuss the parallels between having confidence in performing music and instructing yoga, ad libbing and gaining creativity from that, accessibility and the communities that emerge. Additionally, there is an added sound bowl performance at the end, wherein instructor/musician Oak Jackson uses traditional sound bowls connected to Earthquaker Device pedals to create a cosmic, experimental sound not typically associated with the instrument.
