Los Angeles punk project DOOMSDAY! Punchline return with their second single, “Lab Partners.” It’s a track that lands somewhere between razor-sharp punk riffs and theatrical intensity—raw, unfiltered, and wrapped in a serious dose of attitude. Fans of the LA underground will recognize the urgency; newcomers will feel the push.
“Lab Partners” leans heavy on tension and release. The guitars sprint and snarl, the drums hit hard, and the vocals ride the edge—neither melody nor shout, but somewhere in between, gripping. Lyrically, the song feels like a compound of rehearsal-space rage and darkly funny commentary: a partner experiment in chaos, living in the middle of punk and punch-line. The track’s title nods to that merit.
Production hits hard but keeps space: you hear the raw strings, you feel the echo of the room, and you still feel the thrust of the drums. This isn’t fuzzy nostalgia—it’s modern punk with its claws out.
If you’re tracking LA’s current punk scenes, DOOMSDAY! Punchline are a project to keep on the radar. With “Lab Partners” they’ve taken the sophomore single step—and it means business.
