Brooklyn bruisers Cash Bribe have shared their blistering new single, “Death Tax,” off their upcoming third EP, Demonomics, dropping June 13, 2025, via Futureless. This marks their first release on the label, and they’ve never sounded louder, sharper, or more furious.
Vocalist Joey Dahlstrom says, “We did all of the Death Tax video — except for the time lapse — in one day last December with our pal Charlie Jordan, who shot it and put it together for us. We wanted to reflect our surroundings in Brooklyn and the themes of grime, erosion, and decay.”
Of the single, Dahlstrom: says, “Death Tax comes from thinking about entropy and decay. Nature can be cruel, violent, and indifferent — the suffering seems pointless — but accepting and understanding the terms of our existence comes with a certain viriditas, an empowering vitality to approach it head-on.”
Guitarist Kirk McGirk adds, “This one made it into our live sets pretty quickly – people would respond to it pretty well, and we like when we do something that makes people move.”
A follow-up to 2023’s Escape From New York (Fanxdangxo Records), Demonomics refines Cash Bribe’s craft while doubling down on their ferocity. With Zach Miller (ex-Gel) behind the boards at Landmine Studios—where hardcore staples like Year of the Knife, and 25 Ta Life have laid down tracks—the EP hits with unrelenting force.
