PLQ MRX is a collective of seasoned musicians with roots in bands like Swans, Unsane, Author & Punisher, and Ecstatic Vision. Their new EP, Cumgitsum, marks a powerful return and was engineered and mixed by the band alongside Joe Boldizar, with mastering handled by Tim Green (Melvins, The Fucking Champs).
Based in Philadelphia, PLQ MRX gives way to a sludgy, psychedelic-tinged brand of punk, laced with rich instrumentation, infectious grooves, and a wild unpredictability. Their sound draws heavily from noise rock staples, while also weaving in more unexpected influences like Funkadelic, resulting in a ferocious and distinct outcome.
Lead Poisoning, the second single from Cumgitsum, showcases the band’s off-kilter creativity, encapsulating their ability to be both heavy and heady in equal measure.
