Liner Notes

Here are some songs to help you seize the summer. These are punchy and crunchy tub-thumpers. They are percussive and propulsive. Punch Ups is an ascending and unrelenting sonic wallop of pounding drums for pounding the pavement. 🥊

1. Kate Bush Summer continues.

2. Technically, Rostam appears on three songs in this mixtape. However, since each of his appearances are in different capacities (i.e., artist, featured artist, band member), it should not be considered a violation of good mixtape-making customs.
