New York, NY-based Shurg Dealer has announced two upcoming releases: one out right now and another in early 2022.

On June 25, the band released a remixed and remaster version of their self-titled debut EP digitally and on cassette (Hidden Home Records), and they return with another new EP on Feb. 4, 2022 called Infested, which releases both digitally and on vinyl (Bypolar Records/Hidden Home Records).

The band plays "melodic tech punk," with familiar constructs but shifting and jarring movements within the still short-attention song structures.

The self-titled EP was originally self-released in 2018.

1. Writer’s Block

2. Snowflake Wars

3. That's $10 You Owe Me Now, Dickhead!

4. This Song Was Written on a MacBook Pro

5. The Lanes

6. Who’s Molly?

1. Participation Trophies

2. Tilt Mode

3. Summer Camp

4. Please Turn Off The Gramophone

5. Get To The Point
