Potty Mouth - Snafu

Released in 2019, SNAFU (Situation Normal All Fucked Up) is the long-awaited sophomore album from the Los Angeles-based trio Potty Mouth. After emerging from the fabled Western Massachusetts punk scene and building a national reputation with their "art-sensible power-punk," Abby Weems, Ally Einbinder, and Victoria Mandanas returned with a record that fully realizes their "self-empowered status." Released on their own terms via Get Better Records, the album is a masterclass in "fist-pumping" pop-rock that trades their early punk-rock rawness for a more polished, big-budget alternative sound reminiscent of the late 90s.

The vinyl pressing of SNAFU captures the "rock-solid" production and "catchy, melodic hooks" that define this era of the band. From the infectious energy of "22" to the defiant spirit of "Starry Eyes," the record is a testament to trusting oneself "no matter the odds." For collectors, the album represents a "pivotal milestone" in the band's journey from Smith College students to a formidable force in the independent rock world.
