VUNDABAR – Boston’s Psych Punks Score High-Voltage Triumph With Their 6th LP ‘SURGERY AND PLEASURE’
15 March 2025
Band: VUNDABAR
Who: Indie act from Boston who forged their sound in mythical underground
venues in the early 2010s. Musically, they meld post-punk, math-rock, surf-guitar,
jangle-pop and grunge scuzz into sharp, compact songs.
Album: Surgery And Pleasure
Their 6th one.
Paste Magazine says: “Hearing the loose, uneven ends of these 11 songs might raise suspicions that Vundabar were a pre-COVID anomaly, but the album still boasts not only
their oft-brilliant, angular guitar playing and odd, unpredictable vocal showings, but slow
signs of reinvention… This album doesn’t illustrate a band in disarray; they point towards
a renewal you can’t capture all of in just one pass.” Full review here.

TUTV: On two occasions (I Need You / Why Is It So Hard To Say Goodbye?) these Boston gunslingers take it easy, but they’re at their stupendous best when they turn up the amps and let the beat and the heat do the talking. Nine rock-solid sucker-punches stand tall and lift this record to a ripping riff-insane level. Surgery And Pleasure is a high-voltage triumph.
