Hard Nips to release self-titled EP

For those who don’t already know, Mixpak Records is a taste-making hub for our time. Modern and eclectic, Mixpak brings together influences from the worlds of club music, rap and indie rock under the shared roof of a common home.

Mixpak founder, producer and DJ Dre Skull released on Nov. 2nd the swag banger “Look At Me” by veteran Southern rapper Lil Scrappy. The single was received with major handclaps from the likes of AOL’s The Boombox, XXL, and The Fader.

Mixpak’s momentum isn’t slowing anytime soon. Keeping with the label’s mosaic-like roster of genre-dipping artists, December 7th will mark the release of the all-girl Japanese post-punk quartet Hard Nips’ self-titled EP. This exciting addition to the Mixpak roster is just another example of the label’s inimitable reputation and diverse repertoire.

Hard Nips have arrived from the Far East, brandishing a riff-heavy, post-punk sound laced with the angelic strainings from vocalist Yoko Sawai.

Whether playing parties for Vice Magazine or CMJ gigs alongside the likes of Sean Lennon and TVOTR’s Tunde Adebimpe, this Brooklyn-based four piece commands the attention of any room they play. Known for their magnetic stage presence and rowdy antics (on stage and off), these women are living breathing personifications of rock n’ roll. Along with the release of their four-song EP, Hard Nips will be holding a record release show at Cake Shop in NYC on Dec 7th.
