Eclectic sludge-punk band BOOZEWA have returned to release their first full-length album, Bon Vivant, on July 9th, 2024 via DeepRest Records. After jamming, touring, and releasing EPs for the last 3 years, Bon Vivant is the first full-length album from BOOZEWA. The band took their time in crafting a clever, atmospheric album that captures their vision. The album pulls from a range of influences, including MODEST MOUSE, SONIC YOUTH, and MELVINS, to create a collection of songs that are inspired by the bands, people, and places that BOOZEWA’s members love. Experimental and personal, the album demonstrates the band’s love for music and for creating art that transcends stylistic boundaries. The songs say exactly what they need to say without feeling a need to conform to any outside expectations.

About BOOZEWA:
Formed in 2020 in Coatseville, Pennsylvania, BOOZEWA charge headlong into their art with love and reckless abandon. They find inspiration in the people, places, and other bands that they love, drawing pieces from each to create bombastic, thrilling, often humorous sludge-punk. Each member brings a unique voice to the band, backed by over 20 years of experience with touring across the US and on world tours with other bands. The members have all collaborated with each other in some form since 2003, then formed BOOZEWA in 2020 when drummer and vocalist Mike Cummings taught himself to play the drums so they did not need to search for a drummer. BOOZEWA worked tirelessly to release 3 EPs from 2020 to 2022, and is finally ready to unleash their full-length debut album on July 9th, 2024 via DeepRest Records.
