Plastique Pigs demo cassette out now on Sorry State

Sorry State is stoked to announce our first release of 2026! It’s the demo tape from Plastique Pigs from SSR’s home turf of Raleigh, North Carolina. Some of you may have checked this out when the band released the recording on their Bandcamp site a few weeks ago, but now we have the tapes in hand and they’re ready for you to order. So give it a listen and pick up your copy if you’re as stoked as we think you’re going to be. Here’s the official description:

Sorry State Records formed in 2005 to release fast hardcore punk music from our part of the world, and 20 years later we’re still banging the same drum. Case in point: this debut 4-song cassette from Raleigh, North Carolina’s Plastique Pigs. With their blistering riffs, locked-in rhythms, and hooky vocal lines, Plastique Pigs fuse the speed and ferocity of early 80s east coast and midwest hardcore with the songwriting chops of the west coast greats from the same era. Sorry State’s true believers will be stoked, as this slots in perfectly next to the label’s classics, from Direct Control and Koro to Personal Damage and the Hell. And bringing things full circle, Sorry State OG Eric Montanez (from Direct Control and Government Warning, among many others) even contributes backing vox. So strap on your spiked leather cuff, tie a bandana around your boot, and get ready to slam.
