New York City punk mainstays Spike Polite & Sewage have released their latest live LP, ‘Overflow In The Gowanus’, which arrived on digital platforms on December 11, 2025. Produced by Randall Steffes for SewerLid Music, the album was recorded during a high-octane set at the iconic Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn. The release is designed to showcase the band’s prowess as a fully active live unit, capturing the raw, unpolished energy and driving riffs that have defined their sound since their early days performing at CBGB in the 1990s. By highlighting their stage presence, the band aims to reinforce their reputation as a touring force capable of delivering high-velocity East Coast punk to a contemporary audience.
The live album follows the momentum of their 2024 EP, ‘Punk Not Dead’, which was produced by Ted Sabety and released on 12-inch vinyl via Solidbassrecord. That studio effort, led by the single “Florida,” channeled the aggressive tempos and classic vocal styles of 80s and 90s underground punk. With ‘Overflow In The Gowanus’ now serving as a sonic document of their current live show, Spike Polite & Sewage are continuing to expand their reach through consistent touring and new recordings. As the band looks toward 2026, they remain committed to the quintessential New York punk ethos, blending historical genre roots with the relentless energy required for the modern road.
