CULT OBJECTS

Cult Objects are a Philadelphia-based post-punk band formed in 2017. As of February 2026 they have released their second album, titled Amulet, the follow up to 2022's Secrets of Pain-Free Living.

This new record sees the Philadelphia band move out of the basement and onto the dance floor. While still taking their emotionally raw blend of post-punk and noise rock with them, they added some gothy dance floor dissonance, haunting vocals, and grooving bass lines. They entered the studio to make a scrappy post punk record from 1982 that, if played next to ESG or Bush Tetras, would sound like they were recorded in the same studio weeks apart. It’s the sound of dancing at the end of the world.

The current lineup consists of:

Lauren Leilani Iona - vocalist and guitarist
Ande Ciampa - guitarist
Charlotte Anne Dole - drummer
Sean Rosner - bassist
