Squid Pisser have released their new single “Rats,” the latest track from their upcoming release, Throat Slave, due out August 28 via Skin Graft Records and Sweatband Records (pre-order).
The Los Angeles-based project, led by Tommy Meehan (Grodius Maximus of GWAR), describes Throat Slave as a “full-length EP,” featuring six original tracks alongside a collection of remixes.
The release follows 2024’s Dreams of Puke and sees guitarists Michael Armendariz and Raz Azraai taking on more prominent creative roles within the band. The record also features remixes from Plack Blague, Drumcorps, Fartbarf, Ecology: HomeStones, Hyper Gal, dj Embryonic Petit Sac and KK Null of Zeni Geva.
Speaking about the themes behind Throat Slave, Meehan, performing under the name Baxter Yogurt, said: “‘Throat Slave’ is a collection of songs about defending your identity from parasites… Whether they’re people, institutions, bad habits, or the voice in your own head telling you to play it safe.”
Squid Pisser are currently on their “Tumors Across America Tour,” which continues through September 13 in Kansas City. The band will return to the road in October for three shows supporting The Dillinger Escape Plan in Portland, Vancouver and Seattle.
