Brooklyn’s Shop Talk offer a throwback iteration of punk that you might even call traditionalist, pulling inspiration from late ’70s greats like the Damned, the Cramps, Buzzcocks, and X. Today they’re following up their string of EPs by announcing their self-titled debut album, out next month. For the LP, core Shop Talk guys Jon Garcia (vocals, guitar) and Tristan Griffin (bass, vocals) are joined by drummer Alexander Perrelli. They’re leading off the campaign with the powerfully anxious, mightily catchy “Love Dart,” which is sort of like “Search And Destroy” as reimagined by Devo. Listen below.
