Hardcore punks OFF! are offering a sneak preview of songs from their forthcoming self-titled album via this behind the scenes studio video that Noisey shot. Hear some tunes and discussion of what it’s like to cut 17 songs in 3 days via Noisey’s Youtube channel:

In a creative pace to match the breathless vehemence of their music, punk/hardcore luminaries OFF! have announced the follow up to their much heralded debut First Four EPs will arrive in the form of a self-titled full length May 7th, 2012 from Vice Records. Barreling through sixteen high intensity tracks in as many minutes, the album demonstrates the LA quartet had still further to ratchet up their visceral sonic maelstrom, delivering a “dark party” soundtrack of unleashed exasperation and bitterness executed with a rigorous precision that more than lives up to the cavalcade of accolades heaped upon them so far by the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian, NPR, Kerrang!, LA Times, among many others.

In conjunction with the impending release the band have announced a trio of appearances at this year’s SXSW Festival and are planning on heading to Europe in the near future too.

UPCOMING LIVE DATES:

Mar 16 – Power of the Riff @ Scoot Inn – SXSW
Mar 17 – Dickies House @ Lustre Pearl – SXSW
Mar 17 – NXNE Showcase @ Club Deville – SXSW
