Repeat Offender announces release of debut album “Weapon Fetish” with single “People Like You” now available for listening

During the initial days of the pandemic, Repeat Offender, a hardcore band from LA, released a hard-hitting demo that made a significant impact. Their music exuded a raw and primal essence of early-’80s hardcore with influences of anthemic oi, and their lead vocalist, Greg Chacon, delivered vocals that sounded more like a giant, unruly hooligan who had stumbled into the recording studio by mistake.

Following the success of their demo, Repeat Offender continued their musical assault with the release of the 2021 EP “Summary Execution” and a promotional tape in 2022. Now, they are gearing up to unleash their debut full-length album, “Weapon Fetish,” onto the world.

The album includes tracks such as “Nobody’s Fool” and “Every Man For Himself,” which had previously featured on their last promo tape. Based on the latest single, “People Like You,” it is evident that these older tracks are not likely to undergo a significant transformation from their original versions. “People Like You” is a chaotic lo-fi blitzkrieg that perfectly encapsulates the band’s intense energy and aggressive sound. One can simply take a glance at the album cover art to get a sense of the auditory assault that awaits them.

The tracklist for “Weapon Fetish” includes songs like “Admission Of Guilt,” “Jokes On Youth,” “Shit Disturber,” “Death Contemplation,” “Crisis,” “Blood Fued,” “Mood Stabilizer,” and “Every Man For Himself.” The title of one track, “Blood Fued,” whether intentionally misspelled or not, adds to the overall rebellious and defiant nature of the album.

With “Weapon Fetish” scheduled for release on 6/26 through Convulse, fans of hardcore and punk music can look forward to a high-octane and unapologetically intense listening experience. Repeat Offender’s unique blend of old-school hardcore and oi influences, coupled with their ferocious energy and aggressive vocals, promises to deliver an adrenaline-fueled sonic assault that will leave listeners craving for more.

As the band continues to evolve and refine their sound, “Weapon Fetish” serves as a testament to their uncompromising approach to music and their dedication to keeping the spirit of hardcore punk alive and thriving in a modern context. Brace yourself for the sonic onslaught that Repeat Offender is set to unleash with their debut album – it is bound to leave a lasting impression on the hardcore music scene.
