Straight outta the slums of Northwest Denver, SACK is a mysterious band of party punks with songs about bongs, bikers, and brothels. Like any disreputable gang, they've had some rotating members, but on "Ripper!" it's Kody (of The Lillingtons, Teenage Bottlerocket), a couple shredders from Peru, a gym teacher, and the neighborhood electrician (which comes in handy, believe me). They recorded 12 songs at The Blasting Room and now these headbangers plan on touring (read: crashing house parties) across the land. For fans of Turbonegro, FEAR, The Dwarves, Motorhead, etc.

Power pop fans rejoice! Supercrush have returned with the announcement of their new EP, Melody Maker, due out June 3rd. Melody Maker will be available worldwide via the band's own label KR Records in the U.S., Debt Offensive Records in Canada, Erste Theke Tonträger in Europe, and Flake Records in Japan. The new five song offering finds the Seattle-based group at their finest, delivering a dose of hook-laden alternative rock that lovingly embraces all things loud and catchy.

Emerging out of the hardcore-heavy Richmond, VA music scene, Downfall are bringing a new rage on their upcoming album, Behind The Curtain, out July 1st on DAZE and Triple B Records. Across the ten tracks on Behind The Curtain, the band gets heavy and personal as they push their creative boundaries into an almost unhinged territory. The album was recorded in 2021 with Bob Quirk (Enforced) at Studio F12 and The Ward, mixed by Will Hirst (Gate 4 Studios) and mastered by Bill Henderson (Azimuth Studios).

Iodine Recordings will release a limited U.S. pressing of Rebel Songs by Nathan Gray & The Iron Roses on July 22 (pre-order).

Rebel Songs is powerful, energetic, and politically charged — featuring Tim McIlrath of Rise Against and produced by Brian McTernan of Be Well/Salad Days Studio.

84 Tigers and Spartan Records have announced an October 21 release date for the upcoming debut album 'Time In The Lighthouse. After years of perennial touring and releases with their previous critically-adored outfits, Small Brown Bike and The Swellers, 84 Tigers - consisting of Mike Reed (guitar/vocals), Ben Reed (bass), and Jono Diener (drums) - has emerged as the three musicians' primary creative outlet in music.
