Pussy Was Wired for Sound

After more than three decades as pioneers of instrumental rock, Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks now present “Pussy Was Wired for Sound” – an album that pays tribute to film, literature, and their signature raw energy, all with a bold, experimental twist. Inspiration is drawn from unexpected sources: John Carpenter’s “Escape from New York”, Pedro Almodóvar’s films, Link Wray, The Voidoids, and even “The Sopranos”. Each track is a musical story filled with references, humor, and a deeply personal touch. The album showcases a band still exploring new soundscapes without losing its unique blend of surf rock, punk attitude, and absurdity.

— “This album is about playing with expectations,” says Robert Johnson. “We don’t want to sound like anyone else, and we don’t want to sound like we did yesterday. It’s a freedom we’re enjoying to the fullest.”
