On August 14th California band Chico will release their debut album through New Morality Zine. Across the ten tracks on Chico, the band deliver a mix of alternative rock, punk, and hardcore full of big energy. Having already shared single “Too Late” and hooky “Blur,” the band has now unleashed the fast ripping single “Can’t Be.” Clocking in at less than two minutes, the track gives an aggressive blow with thumping rhythms and fiery vocals

Drummer Tony Rangel shares on the lyrical inspiration for “Can’t Be”:

Detroit metalcore band Walls of Jericho have announced their new studio album, System Error: Humanity, set for release on November 13 via Napalm Records.

The album marks the band's latest full-length release following a career that includes records such as The Bound Feed The Gagged (1999), All Hail The Dead (2004), With Devils Amongst Us All, The American Dream, and No One Can Save You From Your Self. Over the years, the band has also performed at festivals including Louder Than Life, Hellfest, Tied Down, and Furnace Fest.

Blue Grape Music welcomes Southern California's INITIATE — Crystal Pak [vocals], Michael Morales [bass], Draven Carter [guitar], Manning Gray [guitar], and John Hodge [drums] — to the label's roster. The band will drop the new WITH LOVE // WITH RAGE EP on August 7.

Rome, Italy power-pop/hardcore collective FELDSPAR are delighted to announce that their new album, Soft Side, will be released on 9th October 2026.

Recorded, produced, and mixed by Jon Markson (The Story So Far, Drug Church, Quicksand) and assistant producer Alan Day (Four Year Strong) at Animal Farm Studio in Flemington, NJ, additional engineering on the album was done by Joe Rom, Chris Beeble, and Colton Krohn, with mastering by Mike Kalajian (Circa Survive, Neck Deep, The Bronx).

There’s gasoline in the water. Tom Petty distorts through a car stereo. Betrayal, broken limbs, half-naked bodies launching themselves from the rail of the Ledyard Bridge into the Connecticut River.

There’s a price to pay for letting go of what’s real on “Endless Summer,” the opening track of Matt Pond PA’s Permanent Change Part 1—“Young liars turn into old liars, turn into dust and blow away.”

With a sound that reflects an eclectic range of influences, Belgium's Wrong Man continue to forge their own path with every record they release, and every song they write. Their unique brand of soulful post hardcore is equal parts noisy and melodic, at times bluesy and moody. Depending on who you ask, you’ll hear references to bands like Quicksand & The Jesus Lizard, or Sonic Youth & The Wipers.

New York City ska upstarts Be Decent have released their debut single, “Human Nature,” a spiky punk rock anthem inspired by The Jam and Elvis Costello and featuring guest vocals from indie legend Ted Leo. The song is about how phony moral crusaders tear others down in hopes of landing on the “right side of history.” On the buildup to the towering chorus, lead singer Jimmy Doyle is disappointed, if not exactly surprised: “It’s nothing major / Just human nature.”

Brighton punk rock quartet Harker have announced their new album All That Remains will be released 2nd October via Disconnect Disconnect Records (with Shield Recordings doing the honours in Europe and Fixing a Hole Records in Japan). The news comes alongside the release of another punk anthem from the band in the form of new single ‘Dislocation.’
