純粹污垢 Pure Filth

史上第一支客家龐克樂團「粹垢 TRAEGO」
首張全客語龐克專輯「純粹污垢 Pure Filth」

專輯以人們口中的苗栗國為背景，純樸的客家青年為何漸漸成為社會上的汙垢。所有歌曲都圍繞著可憐、底層的角度來抱怨與吶喊。

自詡為純粹污垢卻不自怨自艾，而是選擇看見並說出我們所觀察到的憤怒與不公，小如買不到酒或情場失意到更大的勞工議題，以及故鄉的腐敗問題等等。

我們不是知識憤青，就只是說出了自己看不慣的事情的市井小民，在藏污納垢的地下社會用熟悉的客語唱著喊著，總有一天會讓全世界知道，知道這個經過美麗文化風景所包裝的山城到底出了什麼問題。

The first Hakka punk band「TRAEGO」
First punk album in Hakka language「Pure Filth」

The album is set against the backdrop of Miaoli, known as "Miaoli Country" by Taiwanese people, depicting how the pure-hearted Hakka youth gradually become seen as societal filth.

All the songs revolve around the perspective of the poor and marginalized, lamenting and shouting out grievances.

We claim to be pure filth, yet refuse self-pity, choosing instead to acknowledge and vocalize the anger and injustices we observe, ranging from small issues like being unable to buy alcohol or failures in love, to larger labor disputes and the problem of corruption in hometown.

We are not angry intellectual youth; we are just common folk voicing what we cannot tolerate. In the underground society where dirt is hidden, we sing and shout in the familiar Hakka dialect, hoping that one day the whole world will know what problems lie beneath the beautifully packaged mountain city of Miaoli.
