Foz from the band Boldly Go! Got in touch with me late last week to tell me about their band’s debut single, “First Contact”.

Boldly Go! Is a Star Trek-themed 4-piece punk band based out of West Virginia, made up of Foz Rotten, Alex Smith, Rusty Felty and Chris Gibson. They claim influences such as the Ramones, Rancid, Black Flag, Misfits and Screeching Weasel. Personally, I don’t know from punk, but I do know that “First Contact” sounds best when turned up LOUD.

By the time you read this, you will have missed actual First Contact Day by a few hours, but who cares?! You can stream “First Contact” today, direct on Spotify, Apple Music or whatever other streaming service you use. You can also get it via direct download on Boldly Go!’s Bandcamp page.
