BODEGA is an American punk band from New York City, United States. Origin New York City, United States Genres art rock, post-punk, indie rock The art-damaged Brooklyn band Bodega want to get people thinking while they boogie, and their debut album from 2018, Endless Scroll, spotlights an abrasive dance-punk sound built on shouted vocals, deep thoughts, and jumpy rhythms. While they sanded off some of the rough sonic edges on subsequent releases like 2019's Shiny New Model EP and 2022's album Broken Equipment, they kept the lyrics sharp and the music bouncy. In 2024, they issued their third set Our Brand Could Be Yr Life. Bodega formed when guitarist/vocalist Ben Hozie and vocalist Nikki Belfiglio's previous group, Bodega Bay, downsized their name and changed the lineup. That band formed in 2013, released Our Brand Could Be Your Life, an album recorded on the internal mike in GarageBand, in 2015, then split the next year. When they relaunched as Bodega, Hozie and Belfiglio kept much of that group's spiky post-punk energy and snarky anti-consumerist attitude, playing shows around the city and beyond, opening for the likes of Protomartyr and La Luz, among others. Light Up Gold With a batch of songs ready -- some written mere weeks earlier as the Bodega Bay lineup was dissolving -- Bodega headed off to record their debut album. With Austin Brown of Parquet Courts working the dials on the Tascam 388 tape machine his band used to record their classic Light Up Gold, the collection of shouty and melodic post-post-punk tunes came together, and Endless Scroll (What's Yr Rupture?) was released in July 2018. As the album hit record store shelves, Bodega toured the U.S. as headliners for the first time. They also played shows in the U.K., and the live album Witness Scroll was recorded at clubs in Glasgow and London. Years active 2014–present Labels What's Your Rupture?
