If you’ve been to a show in Brooklyn in the past year there’s a good chance you’ve seen Washer. They’re your favorite band’s favorite band. Maybe you even caught them at a show with their label-mates and longtime buddies Big Ups and saw all of them in the front row, shouting along to every word of Washer’s set.

There's a good reason for that - Washer’s brand of punk is immediate, and catchy. On “Joe” singer Mike Quigley comes out of the gate full force and doesn’t let up until the end of the song’s short 2 minute run time. That’s not to say they can’t slow it down though. Songs like “Eyelids” are a slow burn and you’ll have a hard time getting that bass line out of your head.

This set here from September of last year has them doing what they do best. Give it a listen and you’ll immediately understand why every other band on the bill is so stoked about Washer - they play Shea on 8/13 for Bueno & Doubting Thomas Cruise Control's double record release.
