Tuff Turf

Words by Teresa Spencer

Punk sonic band Tuff Turf formed by Jacksonville Beach resident Jeff Richie just released three new tracks that kick ASS! If you’re into punk sonic music, that is.

The entire album, “Dead Heat,” will be released digitally on Feb. 3 with tracks including “Fuel Injected/Fired Up,” “Rebel Heart” and “Dead ’23.” All songs were written, recorded, performed, mixed and mastered by Richie. 

Considered a unique voice in the burgeoning synthwave scene, the band, according to their website, “[removes]  much of the neon-video-game-nostalgia in favor of a more masculine, brooding and punk sonic and visual landscape” with the new album described as “a shotgun blast of short-but-sweet new wave punk anthems.”
