Right Shitty: “Henry Lee Lucas” / “Crack'd Out” (Punknews Exclusive)

Saint John, New Brunswick’s Right Shitty released on of 2016’s hidden gems with their debut album Bachelor of Arts on Monopolized Records. That album hit the right mix of gritty, raw-throated rock’n’roll, ranging from gruff Gainesville-styled melodic hardcore to a burnt-out low-fi take on 90s grunge.
