Limited edition (300 copies).The feeling of classic punk rock is easily recognized in much of the music of Cuss Face. Traces of 50s and 60s rock-n-roll, doo-wop, and 90s shoegaze vibes also find their way into the mix. Joey Trips typically prefers a healthy amount of overdrive or fuzz on his guitar parts. When necessary a touch of slapback delay, reverb, or some other effect might be sprinkled in. For vocals, Joey typically likes to use some sort of distortion effect to lend to the scrappy sound of the band. These textures blend nicely with the rumbling growl of Mike Trips’ bass guitar and the thick and cracking sound of Adam Trips’ drums.
Cuss Face is influenced by artists such as Ramones, Weezer, The Hives, and FIDLAR. The band claims that their music has absolutely no purpose outside of making people feel good. They have even been quoted saying, “We find a deep sense of meaning in the utter meaninglessness of our music”.
