Cincinnati's garage/synth-punk powerhouse BEEF is back, and their latest release is a primal force to be reckoned with. Brace yourself: once your loved ones hear this new slab of sonic fury, they might just revert to their caveman instincts, banging their heads and losing themselves in the raw, pounding rhythms of il manzo.

Released via the iconic Italian label Goodbye Boozy Records, il manzo is a fast and furious four-track 7” that clocks in at just under seven minutes. It’s short, intense, and packed with everything fans crave: high-octane garage punk, searing guitar riffs, and a refreshing dive into lo-fi, archaic recording technology.

Recorded entirely on an eight-track cassette deck, the album is a striking catharsis of sound, balancing bone-crushing riffs with lyrical nods to Midwestern-American religious trauma. With il manzo, BEEF delivers a sonic punch that’s as raw and relentless as ever. But beware—once you press play, there’s no turning back. BEEF takes no responsibility for the mental health of its listeners.
