Upcoming Releases

Legendary and notoriously volatile, DWARVES return with a new full-length, JENKEM, arriving June 5 via Greedy Records (Distributed by MVD). Decades into a career that has cut across punk, hardcore, and heavy music, the band remains a fixture of underground culture — as influential as they are unpredictable, and long past the point of needing introduction.

A high-velocity blast rooted in hardcore’s most feral instincts, JENKEM taps into the same raw aggression and breakneck intensity that fed the early crossover between punk and thrash. Stripped down and dialed in, the album revisits the band’s most confrontational era, channeling the savage spirit of Blood, Guts & Pussy while pushing their nihilistic edge even further.

Across thirteen short, violent bursts — fast, filthy, and unfiltered — plus one mid-tempo crusher, JENKEM wastes no time getting to the point. It’s lean, abrasive, and built for impact — a record that lands somewhere between classic hardcore urgency and the blunt force of thrash’s punk roots, reinforcing DWARVES’ place in that lineage.

Never content to simply release music, the band is rolling out JENKEM with an avalanche of live and animated videos, alongside a series of collectible 7-inch releases. Fans can also snag signed copies and exclusive merch directly via the band’s official site, continuing the DIY ethos that has defined DWARVES since day one.
