Punkerton Records has announced the release of a Halloween-themed split 7″ vinyl featuring Long Island Ska-Punk band Half Dizzy and Detroit Punk band The Boy Detective. This split features dark, horror-inspired remixes.
Side B: The Boy Detective
On Side B, The Boy Detective delivers “For The Record, I’m Not A Cannibal Anymore”, which is out now digitally. This “anthem of resilience” features J. Navarro (Suicide Machines, Break Anchor) on vocals and Eric Abbey (J. Navarro and the Traitors) on keys. The track is “about reclaiming what you love, even after painful memories threaten to taint it—whether it’s music, a movie, or a tattoo.”
Side A: Half Dizzy
Half Dizzy contributes two tracks on Side A.
“The Faceless” featurines Vic Ruggiero of The Slackers and Jess Debellis of Skapossitory on organ. It’s out now digitally. Remix by Destryur, which will arrive on October 15th, 2024, blends Half Dizzy’s Punk and Ska rhythms with Destryur’s dark, cinematic EDM horror vibes.
Dan Marchelewski, lead singer and songwriter of Half Dizzy, says about “The Faceless”:
The song began as a simple spooky ska idea back in 2022. It evolved into a gripping thriller about a fictional nameless government agency chasing the listener. With input from everyone in the band, we crafted some of our best work yet, especially with Jess Debellis’s incredible organ contribution. The addition of Vic Ruggiero’s vocals, who also inspired the organ part with his song ‘Policeman’ was a true honor. To cap it off, we teamed up with Destryur for a haunting remix that captures the gritty horror energy perfectly.
