SPB exclusive: Introducing the Fleshies

Fleshies are back with a new album. Titled Introducing the Fleshies, the new jam is available from Dirt Cult Records now.

The Oakland, CA band originally formed in 1999 and has previous records on renowned labels including Alternative Tentacles, Recess, Adeline, and more. They’re known for a serious work ethic and active tour schedule, along with lefty political themes and an intense, unpredictable live show.

The new record captures that raw energy that blends aggression with humor and an underlying sense of melody.
