Premiere of Gangsta White Walls – the new single from the Upside Yer Head EP by PLQ MRX.

PLQ MRX( read ‘Plaque Marks’ ) is a noise-rock supergroup featuring the members of Author & Punisher, UNSANE and SWANS. The band, a project operating at the intersection of abrasive noise rock, acid-soaked psychedelia, and warped funk, has just released the new EP, Upside Yer Head via Reptilian Records and Totem Cat Records. band’s first release featuring Vinnie Signorelli from SWANS and UNSANE.

Here’s Gangsta White Walls:

Musically, PLQ MRX exist somewhere between Flipper’s intensely distorted and sloppy guitar noise and the lysergic looseness of Funkadelic, filtered through a distinctly noise- and psych-rock sensibility, drawing comparisons to early Butthole Surfers. The result is a sound that is louder, heavier, and weirder than its influences – raw, physical, and intentionally disorienting. “The greatest selection of new, different and exciting tunage to rock yer soul and twist yer melon!” proclaim the band.

Beyond the music itself, PLQ MRX cultivate an aesthetic steeped in excess, altered states, and grotesque carnival imagery. Their world is populated by surreal characters and exaggerated rituals, exploring pleasure, debauchery, and sensory overload. The band leans into both the highs and the ugly turns of the trip, embracing chaos as a core element of its identity.

With UPSIDEYERHEAD, PLQ MRX present a record that feels less like a traditional album and more like a full-contact experience. “Swing on the wildest trip of yer life!” gush the band. “If you want to know the facts about the new ¡PLQMRX! album UPSIDEYERHEAD ask a doctor, your pharmacist, the police or perhaps yer local clergy… BE WISE NOT WEIRD!! Turn on to the NOW sound before you can’t turn it off! Freak out with the lead-poisoned derelicts of the Philly scene, and be gassed up when it happens! THEY’VE GOT WHAT YOU WANT!!! A dope created ecstasy avalanching into frightful perversions that will shock and repulse the weak.”
