about

"I’m Pretty Sure I Would Know If Reality Were Fundamentally Different Than I Perceived It To Be." But are you? The long-awaited, long-in-production second XYLITOL record is finally here, a blast from the pre-pandemic past to remind us that we’ve always been precisely this fucked, whether we knew it or not. The Last Pogo Punks remain sufficiently mutated and as raging as ever while vocalist LORD GOAT cements her status as one the greatest punk lyricists of all time.

All proceeds from this record benefit Black Fem Defense, a Baltimore-based organization that makes self-defense tools and training accessible to Black queer youth. Limited to 440 copies on black vinyl in a Risograph printed sleeve of indeterminate color variations. Kill the collector scum in your head and please give generously.
