There's little we know about Philadelphia trio POPO other than that they are brothers (Zeb, Shoaib, and Hassan), they just released a dangerously great new seven-inch on Diplo's Mad Decent label (buy that right here), and they play smutty punk rock that resembles a zombie version of the Germs. We also know, thanks to Mr. David Bevan, that POPO means "butt" in German. And that's it. Enough to remind us how much we have missed bands that sound like they are trying to destroy themselves and in doing so flirt with perfection. They're invading Austin today and tomorrow with the rest of the Mad Decent army, including a slot at Saturday's bonkers late-night warehouse jumpoff that's free with an RSVP. Below are two unreleased songs. We suggest you get familiar.

Sounds like: The Germs, Nirvana's Bleach, Black Flag
