Los Angeles outfit TUSHIE is a fast-rising cowpunk band bringing the genre's raw energy back to SoCal—right where it originally crossed the pond in the '80s. Blending a whole lot of sass, grit, and twang, their sound hits like Blondie joined the White Stripes, or Grace Potter fronting AC/DC. Sitting comfortably alongside acts like X, Amyl and The Sniffers, The Dead Weather, and Social Distortion, the group delivers high-voltage, roots-infused rock with zero holding back.
Ditching the traditional turkey for a wild swamp run, their single “Gator Done” tells the cinematic story of a female gator slayer on the lam from the law. Hiding out deep in the bayou, she stumbles upon a hostile town of swampfolk—only to earn their respect and become the village enforcer after hunting down a bloodthirsty gator terrorizing the locals. The accompanying music video, directed by lead guitarist Smallz, captures the chaos of a raucous backyard swamp party shot inside an empty swimming pool. Paired with great production, catchy vocals, and an unexpected shift in intensity in the second half, the song and video combine for an exceptionally fun, high-energy performance from start to finish.
