Cülo were an infectious and rowdy punk band from Chicago. Now, three quarters of them kick on as Tarantüla, an outfit that is equally as ferocious and surly. Weird Tales of Radiation and Hate, Tarantüla’s new five-track EP (that you can stream below), was mastered by the legendary GEZA X, who worked with early California punk bands including the Dead Kennedys, Germs, Redd Kross, and Black Flag.

Songs such as “Oozing Skull” and “Computer Ate My Brain” fly by at hyper speed but a gruff and rough melody sits underneath the fast guitars and shouted vocals.
