Direct from Southern California’s beautiful San Fernando Valley, Cosmic Joke is back with a new EP, Forced Perspective, co-released by Triple B Records and Hardlore Records and available everywhere in full on Tuesday, June 24th, 2025.  A limited edition first pressing of 1000 total vinyl records will be available from both labels in conjunction with the release. 

Recorded at The Pit Recording Studio in Sunland, CA in September of 2024, and produced, engineered and mixed by Taylor Young, the EP consists of four original tracks and one incredible cover. Forced Perspective pushes the band’s established fast and furious sound into more aggressive territory as they continue on a quest to bridge the gap between the gritty authenticity of 80s and 90s Los Angeles hardcore with the melodic harmonies and catchy hooks of SoCal skate punk, a masterful progression into unfamiliar territory while remaining true to their roots, both musical and geographic. 

In the titular track, vocalist Mac Miller takes aim at the warped reality and false perceptions that pervade meaningful discourse and progress in the world around us. A rousing cover of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” rounds out the release and provides a familiar yet reimagined version of the legendary track, putting a SoCal spin on an NYC punk classic. 

As an added bonus, the first pressing vinyl version is b-sided with five additional tracks from the Welcome to L.A. EP released in February, 2025. Featuring guest vocal appearances by members of God’s Hate, Fleshwater, Lockslip, and Drain, Cosmic Joke covers iconic SoCal punk tracks by Bad Religion, X, Agent Orange, and Adolescents, along with an original track from their debut LP. This is the first time the Welcome to L.A. EP is being made available in physical format. 

Not just another hard hitting hardcore album, Forced Perspective is truly a love letter to the rich musical, and anti-authoritarian fabric of Southern California. Cosmic Joke is not only picking up the mantle of SoCal’s prolific subculture legacy, but crafting their own. One that marries the hardcore and punk of sunny Southern California yesterdays with a reinvigorated aggression and outlook, a fresh voice for a new world gone mad.

Loud! Just Like She Likes It
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
My Great Dane loves this noisy toy. She prefers squeaky toys with loud, unusual squeakers. (I need to invest in earplugs.) She's not an agressuve chewer or rough player so this should last a long time. Like most squeaky toys she has, the squeaker wears out before the physical toy does and once the noise is gone she won't play with it any more. If others have a similar issue...check with your local animal shelter. Some (not all) will disinfect used toys for the dogs in their care.

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite! Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!
