The Dominican duo, Saso and aka the darknight, recently released their second EP, Punk Wave Sin Barreras Vol. 2: Cutting Corners, and debuted it at Dyckman’s 420 Bar & Lounge.

Punk Wave Sin Barreras Vol. 2: Cutting Corners incorporates songs with various storylines, with “Whiskey Neat” screaming “FUCK ICE!” followed by a guitar solo, “Chupacabra” being turned into a sexual innuendo stemming from the ancient Caribbean folklore, and how they’re breaking down stereotypes of what a rockstar really is, especially being from The Bronx, in “Planta o Plomo.”
Mack Minaya, photographer and visual storyteller, captured the show from the mosh pit, on and offstage—amid flailing arms, colliding bodies, and flying drinks falling on moshers wearing their best ‘fits.
