The Disease & The Cure - LP

Brigata Vendetta are primed to release The Disease and the Cure 12" on Pirates Press Records, the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2024 LP This is How Democracy Dies. Brigata Vendetta are a force to be reckoned with in the famed Bay Area punk & hardcore scene. What began as an intentionally more hardcore-focused side project for frontman & bassist Darrel Wojick & guitarist Mike Caputo became their prime outlet during the time Oi! Stalwarts Harrington Saints were playing less regularly. Bum City Saints drummer Brian Zobel completed the trio. Combining the raw urgency of classic hardcore with the drive of circle pit streetpunk, the Brigata Vendetta sound is that of unrelenting rage against the power structures of the modern world, the malicious villains that pull the strings, and their footsoldiers. And how has that sound evolved since the first LP? If anything, both the lyrics and the music have gotten heavier & darker, reflective of a world of chaos & iniquity. The songs are more intricate without sacrificing speed or aggression.
