Militarie Gun - God Save The Gun

Militarie Gun announce their anticipated new album God Save The Gun due October 17th via Loma Vista Recordings. Speaking about lead single “B A D I D E A” and the music video, Shelton shares, “I wanted to make a video that was a celebration of vices, a new iteration of yourself looking back at a moment you made a mistake while never truly reflecting. This was the most technically challenging video we’ve ever done and it only fits a song spelling out the words ‘bad idea.’”

84 Tigers - Nothing Ends

Michigan post-hardcore trio 84 Tigers return with Nothing Ends, a towering, emotionally charged follow-up to their acclaimed debut Time in the Lighthouse. Due out October 17 via Spartan Records, the album is a massive leap forward for the band—leaning fully into their widescreen mix of post-hardcore power, ’90s alt-rock grit, and soaring melodic hooks.

Opening track and first single “The Crush of It All” is an unrelenting blast of cathartic energy—equal parts gut-punch and rallying cry—that sets the tone for the album’s balance of raw emotion and sonic grandeur.

Hot Mulligan - The Sound A Body Makes When It's Still

Hot Mulligan is a ride-or-die testament to staying true to yourself. When the emo band formed in 2014 and cut their teeth playing house shows and naming songs by closing their eyes and typing into auto-correct on their phones, no one expected they’d be selling out thousand-cap venues, one of their scene’s most respected bands a decade later. But as Hot Mully readies their phenomenal fourth LP The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still , that’s exactly where they’re at.

Watermelon - No Laughing, No Crying

Chicago-based punk band Watermelon is gearing up to release their sophomore album, 'No Laughing, No Crying,' on vinyl via What’s for Breakfast? Records this October.

Watermelon writes three-chord pop punk bangers which explore themes of existentialism, mental illness, and having fun with your friends. It’s straightforward punk without the nonsense of guitar solos, pedal boards or trendy bullshit. Technical perfection takes a backseat to the heartfelt honesty of songs written in a trailer park bedroom.

TRSH - String Theory

TRSH exists in the tension between extremes, a tightrope walk that’s volatile and unpredictable yet built on intentional detail. The Springfield, MO quartet has blurred those lines since forming in 2021, childhood friends frustrated by false starts and determined to start a new project in what frontman Derek Berry calls a “last-ditch effort” to make their musical dreams a reality.

Saturday At Your Place - These Things Happen

There's a quiet sort of vulnerability throughout these things happen, the upcoming second album from Kalamazoo, MI emo trio saturdays at your place.

Out September 12, the band takes take everything that made their early material resonate—twinkly guitars, heart-on-sleeve songwriting, a distinctly Midwestern ache—and stretch it into something even more resonant.

Their new song, “what am I supposed to do?” is a mid tempo reflection on individuality and people-pleasing, combined with the emotional labor of keeping your head above water while on the road.
