Government Flu

**Government Flu** is a raw and relentless hardcore punk outfit hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, known for their blistering sound and unapologetic energy. Emerging in the 2010s, they’ve carved a niche in the DIY punk scene with releases like *House Arrest 7"*, *Vile Life*, and *Government Poison*, delivering short, furious bursts of politically charged anthems and personal catharsis. Their music—a chaotic blend of thrashing guitars, pummeling drums, and snarling vocals—echoes the urgency of classic hardcore while tackling themes of systemic injustice, alienation, and societal decay.

Active in the underground circuit, Government Flu has built a reputation for no-frills, high-intensity live shows, often sharing stages with like-minded bands in basements and DIY spaces. With recent releases like *Still No Justice* and *Are You Sorry Now?*, they continue to channel frustration into fist-in-the-air aggression, cementing their status as stalwarts of modern, confrontational punk. Keep an eye on their Bandcamp—if you’re into unpolished, unfiltered rebellion, these folks are your fix.
