SAVAK

Brooklyn-based post-punk band

The band SAVAK (pronounced “saw-vawk”) was formed in 2015 by members of Obits, Holy Fuck, The Nation Of Ulysses, and The Cops (5). Their influences range from ’60s Texas psychedelia to British pub rock to early-’80s American hardcore, with some Zamrock and Chicha thrown in for good measure. SAVAK connect the dots from The Adverts to Bubble Puppy to The 101'ers to MDC (2), making stops at Chrissy Zebby Tembo and Los Mirlos along the route. Their first album, “Best of Luck in Future Endeavors,” was released May 27, 2016 on Comedy Minus One. “Cut-Ups,” their second record, came out on Ernest Jenning Record Co. on October 27, 2017.
