Prison City Brigade

Prison City Brigade is a Detroit-based punk rock outfit known for their raw, high-energy sound and unapologetically gritty lyrics rooted in working-class resilience. Formed in the early 2010s, the band has built a reputation for blistering live shows and a DIY ethos, often collaborating with grassroots venues and local artists (like DarkShadow’s remix of their track "One Shot"). Their music blends classic punk aggression with nods to street rock and protest anthems, tackling themes of urban survival, systemic frustration, and defiance against complacency—evident in releases like *War On Boredom* and *Trials Of Survival*. While they’ve stayed under the mainstream radar, their fiercely independent streak and loyal Midwest fanbase keep them grinding, with recent drops like *Mirror Games* and *Truth Hurts* reinforcing their knack for snarling hooks and mosh-worthy urgency.
