Bad Copy

Portland, Oregon, garage rock band Gondos has announced the release of their second album, entitled Anatomy Of A Hornet’s Nest. This new album, set to drop on June 3rd, is the follow up to the band’s 2023 self-titled debut. Anatomy Of A Hornet’s Nest is the result of extensive sessions recorded live to ½ inch tape by Gondos’ lead guitarist (and member of The Macks) Ben Windheim and will be the band’s first full-length outing with new bassist Elisabeth Zarnick joining singer Aidan Case, Windheim and drummer Grant Anderson.

Gondos also shared a double-headed preview of the album in the form of two new singles, “Contemporary Us” and “When I Go.” “Contemporary Us” skewers influencer culture and the quest for instant fame with blown out garage punk intensity, while “When I’m Gone” maintains the fuzzy edge but repurposes it as an anthemic middle finger to an ex.
