Nodega is the brand new project from our favourite NY punk band Bodega, a side project full of new, exciting, and fresh skater punk sounds. The music captures the band’s want and need to say "no" and encapsulates the punk ethos of saying "no", whilst also adding melodies to their thrasher inspired tracks.

This album is the attempt to liberate the wisdom, stupidity, and joy of the teenage state of mind. With tracks ranging from the mind control of the smartphone to the hope for self-critiqued change, this thrasher skate punk album is a high-speed manifesto that shreds through modern disillusionment with unapologetic fury and a glimmer of defiant optimism.

Nodega’s debut offers a tightly crafted collection of tracks that blend the raw intensity of classic skate punk with a distinctly modern edge. Balancing abrasive guitar work with unexpectedly melodic hooks, Nodega captures a sound that feels urgent but intentional, rebellious yet articulate. It’s a project that respects punk’s heritage while pushing its boundaries, making it essential listening for fans of bold, forward-thinking guitar music.
