Shark Debbie & Becky 12-Inch Single Vinyl

Brooklyn indie stalwarts Shark? have a new EP Debbie and Becky. The titular couple are guinea pigs and star on the EP's cover art, which you can check out below. The first track released from the EP is "Hate Crime Girl" that was inspired by a couple different things. Part of it was by the work of controversial artist Chris Burden, whose most infamous piece was being shot in the arm with a 22 caliber rifle. (His work has inspired songs by David Bowie and Laurie Anderson, too.) The title, though, came from a real life encounter when guitarist Jared Hiller met a girl after they both had the unfortunate experience of witnessing a man getting beaten with a baseball bat.
