Punk, Surrealism, and Finding Community

My name is Lex, currently 23 and located in Maryland USA.

Growing up, I struggled with identity, undiagnosed mental and physical health issues, as well as normal small-town-isolation. Most of the world was not unveiled to me until I went off to study Digital Art in the midwest. From there my life changed dramatically.

Between studying at art school, working for the college radio station, and normal college experiences I was finally able to come into my. own. College radio inspired me to dig into experimental music, leading to ambient, avant-garde, somehow switching to riot. girl, and finding its way into punk.

Do It Better Again by Gonzo was the gateway drug into my music addiction. I had never heard anything like it. (Looking back on it now, it seems so normal and nothing mind blowing. But it is still important to me, nonetheless). All of my experience with with punk before was off-putting. But this was weird and up beat and melodic. Trying. to figure out where it fit, I discovered devocore aka synth punk aka egg punk.

While searching youtube for more of this goofy, child like music I found a discord link in one of the descriptions. This group included lovers of egg punk, musicians, and generally awesome people that showed me everything.

They inspired me to go to my first punk show at the age of 20. It felt like I was too old to just be getting into it and getting into the scene but I didn't care. I'd drive upwards of 4 hours to see someone. I once drove from kentucky to indiana 4 hours to see Pat and the Pissers at a house that a weird podcast dude threw shows at. Met so many. amazing people and I still do to this day- GO TO GIGS! they're the best.

The punk scene inspired me as an artist. As I learned about Dadaism and Surrealism and performance art in school, I felt like I was seeing versions of it in front of me. From gig posters to lyrics to performances, my focus in my art switched. I began to embrace darker imagery, my mental health, but mostly the unconscious mind the Surrealists have talked so much about. Max ernst , Dali, and the entire Dada movement led me to the collage style and free artistic process I use now. Pick up a magazine or look up old photos online. see what jumps out, what wants to be found. What wants to be together.

I graduated from University in May of 2022. I am now back in MD searching for more music and inspiration. Usually I keep my personal life, my. art, and music separate but I feel combining them all here would be interesting. So, If you are interested in finding new music as it comes out, having conversations about art and mental health, feel free to pitch in. I miss my communities where we had space to share our passions, so here is an opportunity to throw my hat into the ring.

If im just posting to no one, im gonna at least throw in this video of my homies playing at a tacobell. Slutbomb forever x

i would actually love to hear more about egg punk… i love DEVO and i’ve heard it’s that vibe? do you have any recommendations?

omg yes!! youre right, eggpunk draws a lot of inspiration from DEVO and is sometimes called devocore because of that!! there are a lot of different sounds in eggpunk but some common themes throughout the genre are harsh vocal overlays, fast drums, and a very raw diy sound. its also sometimes called chainpunk's happier cousin or What If Hardcore Punk Got A Lil Silly With It. lyrics can range from being about eating people alive to feminism to being bored and mad about it. its a really unique niche and i wish more people knew abt it because there are a lot of awesome eggpunk bands that are pretty under the radar :]

some of the most popular modern eggpunk bands include gee tee, research reactor corp, prison affair, and powerplant!! id also recommend snooper, ghoulies, erik nervous, cctv, the coneheads, and diode, which are a bit more underground but still super awesome :-) i have a playlist of my fav songs (plus some other stuff that fits the general vibe) right here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4rAj60mAy0bBQYxFt1SBEQ?si=291deaf00ccd4733

hope you enjoy!! i love talking abt music soso much :D

I’m obsessed with this song...  P-Model was formerly (mostly) a Japanese prog band by the name of Mandrake. The leader figured out prog wasn’t going anywhere, and he liked new wave/punk so we got P-Model. One of the first “devocore” (they’re much more than that), or major players in the “zolo” “zonk rock” subgenre of New Wave. I really admire that  Susumu Hirasawa figured out a way to adapt and find some success even if P-Model is niche... ALRIGHT, ONTO THE SONG ALREADY...!!!! This song was actually written as an unused Mandrake song. If it isn’t obvious from the changing time signature with varying groups of 2 and 3. (I counted some 10/8 and 12/8, but feel free to correct me.) What makes this song work is the stripped down aspect of new wave. It’s prog without any of the excessive 5+ songwriting, or virtuosic wank (which the author likes, but isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.). It turns what may turn someone off into easily digestible, minimalist package despite being a “prog song” at heart. The whole debut is great, and the 2nd album is more of the same. Check it out!
