Big Nothing track listing:

Adult Magic - Are You Even Happy Now?

Long Island–based band Adult Magic has returned with new material seven years after releasing its self-titled debut album. The group’s latest record, Are You Even Happy Now?, builds on the melodic, punk-influenced sound established in their earlier work while reflecting the experience gained over the intervening years.

The album retains the band’s emphasis on energetic arrangements and memorable hooks. Tracks such as “Drift & Drive” and “Sick Sad World” highlight their continued focus on dynamic songwriting and emotionally driven performances.

State Power - Hyperstition

Dutch hardcore newcomers State Power are gearing up to make a serious impact with the announcement of their debut full-length album, Hyperstition. And they’re not holding anything back.

In just two years, the Utrecht-based band have built a reputation for their ferocious, thrash-infused take on hardcore. With two well-received EPs under their belt and high-energy appearances at festivals like Jera On Air, State Power have quickly positioned themselves as one of the more urgent voices in the scene.

Southpaw FLHC - The Standard

Hardcore band SOUTHPAW FLHC — Alan King, guitar; Harrison Linder, drums; Marc Laroche, bass; and Daryn LaMontagne, vocals —   have announced their upcoming album The Standard, which arrives July 31 via Spinefarm. The band has also thrown another haymaker in the form of the video for new single "Rolling Stone."

Victory Kid - Catalyst

West Los Angeles punk outfit Victory Kid have released their new single “You’re Alright,” a taste of Catalyst, the band’s upcoming sophomore album arriving May 24 via SBÄM Records.

In 2020, frontman Harrison Nida found himself unraveling—grappling with depression, weed dependency, and the weight of a decade-long relationship he knew was slipping away. At the same time, drummer and co-founder Carlo Ribaux had moved back to Zürich, pushing the band into a long-distance dynamic and an uncertain future.

So Nida did the only thing he could do: he wrote.
