ALIEN NOSEJOB - How A Mosquito Operates
LP / Digital
(LUNGS-310 / ANT-108)
Out June 26th 2026

Long known as a fast and chaotic punk adjacent entity with a wonderful sense of humor, ALIEN NOSEJOB has used the ‘How A Mosquito Operates’ vehicle to take a refreshed look at hardcore and bring an exciting new energy to it. You can always count on Jake to offer the unexpected. We love this approach. No rules! Sometimes you get a laid-back synth-punk jam, a swaggered backbeat rock ’n’ roll banger or, in this case, a blistering 17 song hardcore album. There’s a lot of different influences mashed together (Adrenaline OD, early MDC, Neos), some more obvious than others, but no direct ripoffs or lazy genre exercises are to be had here. People conflate ANJ as a concept album band, but this one is a little freer in its approach. Handling some of the classic lyrical tropes (alienation, conformism, consumerism, anti Gov / War…) with an audacious ease and cool dexterity kind of acts as the glue to hold this wild crash together. It's cohesive in its non-cohesiveness, “just whatever was giving me the shits on the day of writing.”  

ALIEN NOSEJOB started as a loner bedroom recording project with no fixed genre, mutating over time into a 6-piece band with a restless punk-adjacent core. After 7 albums, 7 EPs, and 7 tours across Australia and overseas, the numbers started lining up — a kind of accidental 777. Not quite divine intervention, but close enough to feel like something bigger than a bedroom project.
