Portland’s Muscle Cats are back with Car Pervert, a lofi punk-n-roll blast that doubles down on the band’s signature mix of garage grit, surf swagger, and dive-bar chaos. Out now via Lust For Metal, the album follows last year’s Meat ’n’ Fish and hits even harder—leaner, louder, and more unhinged.
Recorded analog-style and left rough around the edges, Car Pervert captures the trio in full throttle: fuzzy guitars, pounding drums, and snarled vocals tearing through songs like “Fast Car Pervert” and “Not of This Earth.” It’s pure instinct and sweat—nothing polished, nothing wasted.
Muscle Cats—Motza (guitar/vox), Eddie Kancer (bass), and KC Jones (drums)—pull from surf punk, ‘70s garage rock, and the kind of unfiltered energy that thrives in basement shows and roadside bars. Local spins on Freeform Portland and DIY buzz only confirm what this record makes clear: these cats don’t mess around.
Car Pervert isn’t just another punk record—it’s Muscle Cats at their rawest and most dialed-in. A fast, filthy joyride for anyone who likes their rock scuffed, snarling, and straight from the garage.
