Los Angeles-based post-punk band Agender share their biting, explosive third album, Berserk,
News
The long-awaited third album from the group is more than just a record—it's a seismic eruption of punk that spits, snarls, and scratches at the raw nerve of contemporary existence. Over ten tracks produced by David Scott Stone (LCD Soundsystem) and lead singer, guitarist and primary writer Romy Hoffman, Berserk delivers the kind of eclectic, electric energy that traverses through the plains of pop-punk, post-punk, disco-punk, and schizo-synth-punk, and bites hard and fast, all while pushing the listener to confront the gnawing absurdity of living in the world today.
At its core, Berserk is a frenetic response to the shifting tides of life—an album that is unapologetically queer and embodies the chaos of an era where nothing feels stable, where the self is both the center of its own universe and being sucked into the disorienting orbit of a hyper-connected, hyper-consumptive culture. Hoffman says, "Everyone’s trying to improve, to 'do the work,' but the conundrum is: there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. This album is a snapshot of that dilemma, wrapped in something catchy enough to make you want to dance–or scream–a solution.” Written before Trump's second term and the fires that ravaged Los Angeles, the album remains relevant and timely, acting as a love letter to the city that built the band.
