The 1st Victims Family release in 12 years is a split LP with PDX heavyweights Nasalrod - featuring drummer Spit Stix of Fear

When Bay Area legends Victims Family crossed paths with outlandish PDX spazz-rockers Nasalrod, both bands knew that they'd found kindred spirits in one another.

Despite each bands' distinct and singular sound, they share a genre-bending, aggressive, and theatrical approach to their hectic, eclectic punk songwriting. After touring together, the strong commonality and personal rapport between the two bands culminated in their full-length split LP entitled Victims Family & Nasalrod in the Modern Meatspace. Each band serves up 5 twisted, technical, & topical songs which somehow manage to display a healthy dose of humor while tackling subjects such as mass shootings, police brutality, religious manipulation, impermanence, impending apocalypse and much more.

Formed in 1984 by guitarist/vocalist Ralph Spight and bassist Larry Boothroyd, Victims Family
has been playing their exhilarating concoction of jazz/ punk/ funk/ metal/ math rock for decades; carrying the hardcore, virtuosic torch of bands such as NoMeansNo, Minutemen, and Dead Kennedys. The new LP features the band's classic Alternative Tentacles line-up of Spight, Boothroyd, and Tim Solyan on drums. Victims Family has toured extensively in Europe and across the US, sharing stages with the likes of Nirvana, Primus, and Mr. Bungle.

Hailing from PDX, OR, Nasalrod is a collaborative vision. The intensity of drummer Spit Stix is a major driving force behind this ferocious art-punk quartet. Lead singer Chairman's sneering yet soulful vocals soar over a sound that is simultaneously convulsive, melodic and violent. Spit Stix, guitarist Mustin Douch, and bassist Mandy Morgan provide a sonic backdrop that is the demented and freakish heart of the band. This latest batch of songs sees them adding 3 part vocal harmonies to their audio arsenal. Equipped with their notoriously frantic live show, Nasalrod has shared stages with acts such as Mudhoney, Melt-Banana, Mike Watt, D.O.A., and Big Business.
