SLAPMARK

★ Why we're featuring SLAPMARK

Slapmark is a garage punk band that may or may not exist. Operating out of a cinderblock garage somewhere past the edge of Las Vegas, the band refuses interviews, plays no shows anyone can confirm attending, and communicates exclusively in one-line dispatches that raise more questions than they answer. What's known is the music: fast, fuzzy, and gone before it wears out its welcome. The songs run on a simple philosophy — everything a little too loud, nothing longer than it needs to be. Across a growing catalog of two-minute bursts, Slapmark works a deceptively wide range.
