Dwarves will return on June 5 with JENKEM, a savage hardcore-punk LP backed by tours, merch drops, and new videos.
Dwarves will release their new full-length album JENKEM on June 5 through Greedy Records, with distribution handled by MVD Entertainment Group. Known for their unpredictable reputation and relentless energy, the band continues to stand as one of underground punk’s most enduring names.
With JENKEM, Dwarves dive headfirst into raw hardcore aggression. The album pulls heavily from the early collision of punk and thrash, delivering a stripped-down and explosive sound. Moreover, the record revisits the chaos and brutality that defined releases like Blood, Guts & Pussy while pushing the band’s confrontational style even further.
The album features thirteen short and intense tracks, along with one slower and heavier cut. Each song hits fast, loud, and without restraint. In addition, JENKEM blends hardcore urgency with the crushing force of thrash-inspired punk, reinforcing the band’s long-standing connection to both scenes.
Beyond the album itself, Dwarves plan to support the release with a steady rollout of live videos, animated clips, and collectible 7-inch records. Fans can also purchase signed editions and exclusive merchandise through the band’s official store. Furthermore, the group continues to embrace the DIY approach that has shaped its career from the beginning.
To support the release, the band will launch an extensive North American and European tour. The run begins in May with shows alongside Screeching Weasel in Portland, Seattle, and Denver. Additional U.S. dates will follow, including performances in Austin and a fall run with The Exploited and Total Chaos.
Afterward, Dwarves will head to Europe for a major tour with Eyehategod. The schedule also includes appearances at Hellfest, Obscene Extreme Festival, Sjock Festival, Krach am Bach, and Azkena Rock Festival. Through it all, the band continues to prove its lasting influence across punk, hardcore, and heavy music.
Look out for Dwarves’ upcoming LP JENKEM on June 5 and prepare for another blast of pure hardcore chaos.
