After crushing all expectations with 2023’s ‘LIVING PROOF’ and spending the subsequent year on the road, the new record finds these best friends playing at the top of their game and flexing their instinctive chemistry.

It's been two years since The Carolyn released Harmful History - a three-song EP that includes a fantastic cover of "Salvation" by The Cranberries. The Atlanta-based trio write the kind of heart-on-your-sleeve punk that launched the careers of bands such as The Gaslight Anthem and The Menzingers. However, in the spirit of Joyce Manor, The Carolyn keep their anthemic songs mostly under the two-minute mark. Their upcoming album, Pyramid Scheme of Grief, is eleven tracks of fine-tuned indie-punk and clocks in at around nineteen minutes.

Blood Harmony Records and acclaimed Philadelphia-bred singer-songwriter Dave Hause are excited to announce the Friday, September 26 release of …And The Mermaid, Hause’s seventh solo album. Recorded at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver, BC by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung), the 10 songs presented on …And The Mermaid offer a welcome shock to the system — a towering rock record that blends Hause’s signature lyrical elan and gift for surging melodies with his keening vocals and some deliciously sharp musical elbows. 

Maryland rock band Have Mercy announced their long-awaited sixth studio record the loneliest place i’ve ever been, set for release on August 29th via Rude Records. Along with the news, they unveiled the album’s first single, the cathartic “august 17” with an accompanying music video. 

Emo/Alternative group Sunday Morning has announced their debut full length album Eternal Grief, set to be released on October 31st via Open Your Ears Records. 

“Eternal Grief is an eloquent story of the battle with grief, the potential loss of a loved one, and acceptance,” the band shares. “Expressed through the many influences that comprise of Sunday Morning, Eternal Grief gives listeners a full spectrum of sonic expression and emotion.”

Experimental post-rock sextet The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die announce their new album, ‘Dreams of Being Dust,’ due for release on August 22nd via Epitaph Records.

Inspired by a world ravaged and devastated by late-stage capitalism, neo-liberalism and neo-fascism, the 11 songs on Dreams of Being Dust were made for – and born out of – these harrowing times. On their fifth record and follow-up to 2021’s Illusory Walls, TWIABP pull no punches in addressing the crises that have developed as a result. 

White Reaper are back! Kentucky's loudest export have joined the Blue Grape Music roster and today they're announcing their new record, Only Slightly Empty. Arriving September 26th, the album finds White Reaper overcoming a tumultuous few years that ultimately resulted in their most anthemic and substantive work to date. Only Slightly Empty is packed with the crunchy guitars and undeniable hooks that White Reaper are known for but the group also ventured into uncharted darker and grungier music depths.

Runnner’s sophomore full-length, A Welcome Kind of Weakness, emerged from a simultaneous tear in songwriter Noah Weinman’s body and life. Written during the months spent bedridden and healing from a torn achilles and the drastic upheaval of a breakup, the 11 songs on this record are Weinman’s most bracing, inviting the perceived vulnerability of the album’s title willingly. But at the same time, these songs are Runnner’s most present, defiant and self-assured, a reminder of the resolve that can come from gracefully accepting submission.
