MINNEAPOLIS, MN, UNITED STATES, April 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Whiplass Records, a new independent label launching in 2026, officially announces its debut release: Teeth, the first full-length album from Minneapolis punk band Spit Takes, arriving May 9, 2026, on 12” LP and digital formats.
Founded to support the burgeoning femme punk scene in the Twin Cities, Whiplass Records enters the landscape with a mission to amplify bold, uncompromising voices. Its inaugural release, Teeth, captures the urgency and spirit of that movement.
Spit Takes’ debut album compiles the band’s singles to date on vinyl for the first time, alongside an exclusive live track. Teeth is a salvo of post-punk anthems with a modern riot grrrl edge—driven by sharp hooks, relentless rhythms, and raw, confrontational energy.
Written in the years following the Black Lives Matter and Me-Too movements—and amid the escalating tensions surrounding federal immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis in early 2026—these songs channel both unrest and solidarity within the local scene. Tracks like “Groomers,” “Bootlick,” “Badass,” and the live cut “Get Off” reflect a community responding in real time, balancing anger with biting, tongue-in-cheek wit. “We wrote these songs while everything felt unstable — playing community spaces, watching the city respond to crisis, trying to hold onto something loud and honest.”
