Look for the band on a west coast tour in November! What's the difference between a hit song and a shit song? Night Court isn't sure - so they just ignore the question and embrace the contradiction - giant songs in puny packages, fearless melodies laced with hopeless anxiety, hits hidden within shit(s).    
 
The Vancouver power trio (Emilor - drums and vox, Dave-O - guitar and vox, Jiffy - bass and vox) began with lifelong friends emailing song ideas during the Covid lockdowns and has since snowballed into an unassailable song machine - their debut Nervous Birds! cassette duology (Snappy Little Numbers + Debt Offensive Records) was later released as a single Greatest Hits compilation tape in Spain (Discos Peroquébien) and will soon be pressed on vinyl for the first time (SNL, DOR, Drunk Dial Records). Their third full length album HUMANS! (SLN, DOR + Idiotapes in France) paved the way for the Halloween themed Frater Set EP (Dromedary Records) and the 90s Bay area punk scene tip-of-the-hat Shit Split Part Duh split EP (Hovercraft Records) with Portland OR's the Dumpies. 50 songs released, but nowhere near enough, and by the end of 2023, Night Court was ready for more. Having been decades-long fans of Todd Congelliere's musical empire, Night Court didn't think twice about who had to be the first to hear their demos for album #4 - Recess Records. Providence smiled, Todd agreed that the songs ruled, and $HIT MACHINE was born. 17 crunchy popped out punk songs that fit hand-in-glove with the infantile mastery of the Recess Records catalogue.
 
The hype around the songs, combined with their boisterous live shows, helped land the band on the cover of the fall 2023 issue of the illustrious Razorcacke Magazine! 2024 will see the band release and tour $HIT MACHINE, and from there, in harmony with their veiled discordance, they're on top of the world (of shit).
