Upcoming Releases

Recollection is a new cross-country band made up of members of Haywire, Skinhead, Hammer Bros, Rude Awakening, and more, and today they've announced their debut EP, Vivid Dreams, due out November 7th via Pop Wig Records. 

The members of Recollection are all experts at making aggressive music but the six songs on Vivid Dreams prove that they're also just as skilled with big hooks and big emotions. Today they've shared the EP's lead single "Less Is More" and it's a perfect introduction to Recollection's self-described "hard indie" sound. The track seamlessly blends the raw delivery of punk, hardcore, and Oi! with soaring leads and reflective lyricism for a sonic punch to the gut and the heart. 

 

Recorded by Taylor Young (Militarie Gun, Drain, MSPAINT, God’s Hate) at the Pit Recording Studio in Los Angeles, Vivid Dreams is fueled by a palpable sense of loss, friendship, and nostalgia. Over blown-out power chords and chiming leads, vocalist Josh Hynes explores grief, aging, and a longing to stay close to friends, loved ones, and good times. It all makes for fifteen minutes of music that could inspire personal reflection just as effectively as rowdy shout-alongs. Recollection will be making their live debut at For The Children Los Angeles in December, sharing the bill with bands like Trapped Under Ice, Foundation, Madball, and more.
