The Punk Site 2022 Top 20: Bumsy & The Moochers – Diet Violence

At Number 5 in The Punk Site‘s countdown of our contributors favourite releases from 2022 is Bumsy And The Moochers’ latest full length, Diet Violence. The rad baddies from Chicago have been bringing relentless ska punk music to the masses since 2012, and their latest album is arguably their best release yet. Diet Violence is available via Sell The Heart Records, Ska Punk International, Bandcamp and streaming platforms.

“For me, starting with Naked Raygun back in the 80s, I have always found Chicago bands (and records produced in Illinois) to be so full of talent, tone and stellar song writing abilities. Bumsy and The Moochers proudly carries that flag forward on Diet Violence. I would never in my life imagined I would affix a 5-star rating to a record by an American ska-punk band. But that is exactly what Bumsy and the Moochers get for Diet Violence. This is one for the collection.” (Pete Gross September 2022)
