Michigan hardcore band Big Deal announce their debut album, Beyond Repair, set for release February 23rd on New York-based label, Heroes + Martyrs. The record is a frenzy of seven energetic songs that combine traditional hardcore with more metallic thrash elements. Having already teased with early singles “Upper Hand” and “Raw Deal,” Big Deal now shares “Thank You.” The two and half minute track soars with an electrifying riff,  seething vocals, and features a guest spot from Atlanta hardcore band Strangle You.

Swedish independent label Lövely Records proudly presents 'Honor Roll of Hits’; a four-way vinyl split set for release on March 8, 2024. For this special release, they've collaborated with four incredible bands signed to the label. Each band has contributed their own unique, fresh material. This vinyl release features four EPs: 'Split Image' by Sweet Teeth, 'A Fair Warning' by First in Line, 'Culture of Death' by Statues, and 'GASP' by GASP.

Patrik, Co-Founder Lövely records on 'Honor Roll of Hits’:

Punk rock supergroup Fire Sale - comprised of Matt Riddle (Face to Face, No Use For A Name), Chris Swinney (The Ataris), Pedro Aida (Ann Beretta), Matt Morris and Brad Edwards - carry on with their proclivity for releasing 2-song 7" with 'The Albatross,' out Feb 9th on Negative Progression Records.

Mixed at The Blasting Room and featuring hand-painted art by Mark DeSalvo (NOFX, Lagwagon), the new song comes with two new tracks: the title track and B-side 'I Remember Damage'.

Liquid Mike, The five-piece alternative rock / power-pop breakout from Marquette, Michigan made their surprise mark with the release of their self-titled debut, or S/T in 2023, which quickly caught the attention of both music critics and randoms on the internet alike for its hook-heavy heartland power-pop. The band proved they were capable of doing more with a minute than most can do with 3 in their short hook laden alternative rock anthems.

Following their debut 2022 LP, “Otherside”, Hollow Suns returns with the EP, “Free Fall”. Tokyo band, Hollow Suns are no strangers to U.S. hardcore/punk and have always had elements of it in their music. For the most part, Hollow Suns pulled more from 90’s alternative rock bands like Foo Fighters or Jimmy Eat World; creating catchy guitar-hook-driven music. On “Free Fall” which is still present, however, Hollow Suns are diving more into the post-hardcore mix of things, pulling inspiration more from bands like Quicksand, Jawbox, and Helmet.

Peoria, IL indie/emo rockers The Forecast are back with their new LP titled "Good Journey," set for release on February 9, 2024.

Any fan of the Forecasts brand of anthemic melodic midwestern indie/emo rock with three part harmonies and sing-along pop hooks are sure to love the new single.
