In the spirit of togetherness, community, friendship, good times, and yes, nostalgia, Oceanside Productions started a monthly online live performance series for 2021 called LOOKOUT ZOOMOUT.
You could probably fill an entire festival line-up with all the bands Mikey Erg has been in or is still a part of.
Remember Kittyhawk? Well, they are back with a 'new' album. The Chicago-based band will be releasing 'Mikey's Favorite Songs' this Friday on Count Your Lucky Stars (pre-order HERE).
Dropkick Murphys are preparing to release their 10th full-length studio album, Turn Up That Dial, April 30 via band-owned Born & Bred Records. The album was produced by Ted Hutt and is available for pre-order, with the new single “Middle Finger” out now.
Track listing:
Ottawa alt/punk trio The Fly Downs have announced the April 16th release of their debut LP, At This Point In Time. The 13-track offering was recorded by Scott Burniston at Apartment 2 and mixed/mastered by Topon Das. It’s being released digitally and on colored vinyl via Thousand Islands Records.
As a preview of what's to expect, the band unleashed the lead single Crashing Down, with an accompanying music video, check it out below..
Manchester Orchestra announced their new album The Million Masks of God will be released April 30th, 2021 via Loma Vista Recordings. Check out the video for urgent and sweeping first single, “Bed Head” below, that finds a home haunted by a spectral Andy Hull. “‘Bed Head’ is two old friends existing in two separate realities,” explains Hull. “It’s a conversation about the lives they lived, the consequences of life’s decisions, and finding purpose in trying to be better.”
Quebec City skatepunk foursome Go Great Guns is back with a new EP titled “Roots”. The follow up to their 2017 debut S/T album comes out March 10th via Thousand Islands Records.
The band's Jeff Girard about the EP: "Roots is about rising up and refusing to be held silent any longer. It’s a punk rock ode to the power of unity and equality, two human values we desperately need at this particular time".
For Roots, the band returns with their blend of melodic and skate punk, this time pouring in hardcore elements for a more refined sound.
Call In The Mess, the new album from NY's Nervous Dater, is a bashing collection of gritty, major key punk rock. As a precursor, the band shared "Tin Foil Hat," an aggressive take on running away from toxicity and giving no f*cks about what anyone has to say about your choices. It's heavy on the eclectic and fuzzed-out guitar riffs, purposefully repetitive vocals to punch in that angst, and overtly anthemic.
Philadelphia-based Remember Sports will release their fourth album, Like a Stone, on April 23rd on Father/Daughter Records. Taking a multi-instrumental approach, the band members—bassist Catherine Dwyer, guitarist Jack Washburn, drummer Connor Perry and guitarist and singer Carmen Perry—traded instruments throughout, resulting in biting bass-and-drum grooves, entrancing percussion layers, saturated synths, and drum machines, and found sound minutiae from Connor’s circuit-bent electronics the band calls “evil items.”
