PRESALE - ESTIMATED SHIPPING BY 24th OCTOBER

Limited edition Orange 180g Vinyl

A loud proud bubbling brew of a crew! Cootie Cuties have been plugging away all over Aotearoa since 2019, from humble beginnings to rumbling into opening for some of the raddest punk bands EVER, (Amyl and the Sniffers, GBH, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Shonen Knife and The Mean Jeans) these little cooties serve up ruckus ear worms, sweet harmonies, and a whole lot of heart! 

With 2 EPs already under their belt, they’re incredibly stoked to release their first full length album “2 CUTE 2 DIE” on 1:12 records! Songs about love, friendship, and queer joy steer you through a wild ride of sugary hooks, jawbreaking haymakers, and unbridled Cootie chaos! 

Cootie Cuties on Bandcamp

An avalanche LP of raucous raw melodic party pack punk & hyped sugarpop hooks. The CCs come out swinging with a 12 pack of raging ear worms on their debut LP. Part B-52s, part Rocky Horror, part early Keith Morris-era Black Flag, part bubblegum Ramones, part Hunx & the Punx, part Shannon & the Clams, part 1950s Doo wop/Grease soundtrack, part 1960s girl groups, part Slits, part Go-Gos. 

If John Waters directed the original “Decline of Western Civilisation” film, and transplanted it from the late 1970s to the 2020s, this would be the soundtrack. All hopped up & raring to go. Out of control house party fun dialed up to 11, girlfriend gang friendships & battles, hot crushes & dagger eyes, proudly queer, love besotted & bewitched, deliciously deviant.

This album gallops out the gates, sugar spitting with incessant chorus gang chants, surf guitar licks a-plenty, a nailed-to-the-floor rhythm section, keyboard chintz riffs. The whole thing swirls in a magical upbeat classic girl group bubblegum powerpop mess, shifting gears from track to track but constantly delivering hook after hook. It’s like the Beach Boys frankensteined to the PLASMATICS. The Ronettes crossed with a less horror business obsessed Misfits? Sparks gatecrashing a Ramones recording sesh? Listen to the album & come to yr own manic punk powerpop conclusions. - A Tolley.
