After more than 20 years of doing things the hard way, the band delivers another blast of raw, unfiltered energy that hits like a busted amp in a packed back alley club. No polish, no compromise, just pure punk rock grit with garage attitude and a metallic edge that keeps it sharp.

Formed in 2005 by sisters Miki (bass, vocals) and Yumi (guitar, vocals), alongside drummer Kei, the trio has built their reputation the old school way, through relentless live shows and a DIY spirit that refuses to fade. Two decades in, they are still pushing forward with the same fire that started it all.

Future Babies channels that history into something urgent and alive. Blues soaked riffs, garage rock chaos, and punk energy collide into a release that feels both lived in and wide awake. If you are into Mannequin Pussy, Amyl and the Sniffers, or HotWax, this one lands right in that lane but still speaks in its own voice.

The EP follows a milestone 20th anniversary year for the band in 2025, a reminder that they are not just survivors of the scene, they are still actively shaping it. From SXSW to Canada, the UK, Australia, and Sweden’s Live at Heart festival, their live reputation continues to follow them like a storm.

Future Babies is not nostalgia. It is proof of life. Punk as survival, not fashion. Loud music for people who still feel something.
