Hot Mulligan - I Won't Reach Out To You

Like many bands last year, Lansing, Michigan’s Hot Mulligan put out an LP in 2020 that they didn’t get to tour. Next month, they’ll release I Won’t Reach Out To You, a six-track EP that operates as a response to their 2020 full-length You’ll Be Fine, bookended on the first and last tracks by a resounding glance-back at a world that simply doesn’t exist anymore.

"Stay home, stay home / You said it wouldn’t make a difference whether we could be together or not.”

Totally Slow - Casual Drag

In punk, a genre that prizes burning fast and bright, it’s rare for a band to make it to their third album. Greensboro, North Carolina’s Totally Slow have arrived at theirs with renewed energy, a revamped lineup, and an inspired, collaborative songwriting process, resulting in Casual Drag, their sharpest collection of melodic hardcore anthems yet. 

Jim Ward - Daggers

Jim Ward has announced the forthcoming release of his new album, Daggers, on June 11 via Dine Alone Records. Jim Ward has played in a slew of monumental bands, from the iconic post-hardcore band At The Drive-In to Sparta, as well his alt-country project, Sleepercar. “I’ve always used music as an outlet for anxiety and frustration,” notes Ward, and in fact, it’s this healing power of music, Ward offers, that led him to Daggers. “When my world has upheaval, it becomes about doing the work in front of me.”

The Downstrokes - Unsafe At Any Speed

Fusing 70s NY rhythms, 80s LA energy, and 90s post-punk hooks, Maryland's The Downstrokes play four-on-the-floor punk rock. On their debut album, New York Girl, they explored their influences from the Kinks and the Patti Smith Group to the Adolescents and the Pixies. On their follow up E.P from Snubbed Records, they dared listeners to Fall in Love with Punk Rock Again. And now with their new LP from Coffin Curse Records, they warn the listener that The Downstrokes brand of Buzzcocks meets Bad Religion punk rock is Unsafe At Any Speed.
