Following the release of 2019’s conceptual album ”La Paix Ou Le Sable”, French melodic punk outfit Nightwatchers are back. The band just launched the new single ”White Fathers” a track criticizing the French state for its exploitation of occupied territories during France’s colonial era.

Formed in January 2016 in Toulouse, France by Freddy, Kevin, Julien and David, the four piece offers a melodic, punchy and gloomy sound, powered by political subversiveness and social criticism.

Founded in 2021 in Germany, The Cheap Pops wants to bring the 90s back to the speakers. On the 30th of August, with their first EP 'Winless Summer', they are ringing the bells of attention and delivering pure nostalgia in 8 short and crisp songs!

Track listing:

1. Intro
2. I Don't Care
3. Star Wars
4. Slobs
5. Beavis and Butthead
6. Life Sucks
7. Fat Wreck
8. Shut Up

Fat Wreck Chords and legendary West Coast rock band face to face have announced the bands's forthcoming album, No Way Out But Through. The album will drop on September 10th with pre-order available now. Produced by Seigfried Meier, No Way Out But Through is a record that brims with intelligent songwriting, arena-sized choruses, big guitars, and a distinct musical fluidity that comes from playing together as a band for over 30 years.

Big Indie Records and rock band The Bots are excited to present “Girl Problems,” the second single to be lifted from the Wednesday, September 8 release of 2 Seater, the LA-based outfit’s first full-length offering in seven years. “’Girl Problems’ was inspired by the stories I'd hear from my girl friends growing up,” said frontman Mikaiah Lei of The Bots. “It's basically the story of ‘Mean Girls’ and problems young women go through: catty behavior, talking behind one another's back, etc.

Amyl and the Sniffers, the Melbourne, Australia rock band fronted by Amy Taylor, will release their second album Comfort To Me on September 10 on ATO Records.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Jawbreaker, Descendents, Alkaline Trio, The Bombpops, and others, Boston melodic punk band The Jacklights play energetic, hook-driven punk/pop-punk with thoughtful lyrics and a 90s alt rock influence. "Drift" is the band's second EP, a follow up to their self-titled debut released in 2020. Alt-weekly Dig Boston said of Drift: "Potentially to be one of the top records to come out of Boston in 2021."

Drift track listing:

Set for release on August 20 via Mutant League Records, 'Retrofit' reunites the band with producer Nick Ingram at Capital House Studio (Hawthorne Heights), who previously recorded their debut album.

"The Way Things Used To Be" follows on the heels of the recently released single/music video "Meant For Misery.".

Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes’ opening night headline set at Download Pilot unleashed a ferocious release of pent-up energy and pure emotion that will live long in the memory of everyone present. The band proved that they offer something quite unlike anyone else right now: a much needed burst of anarchic spirit as the shackles are removed, but also the articulation and wry wit to rally against injustice; plus a raw, eviscerating live show without the tropes of toxic masculinity. As lockdown eases, who better to soundtrack our new-found freedom?
