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.”

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. 

Long-running Mesa, AZ-based melodic punk/rock/reggae band Authority Zero has just announced plans to release a new EP 'The Back Nine' on April 30 (pre-order).

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.”

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.

Nashville’s Free Throw are excited to announce their new album Piecing It Together, out June 25th on Triple Crown Records. The new album was recorded with producer Will Yip (Bartees Strange, The Menzingers, Tigers Jaw) and today they share the music video for lead single “Cloud Sick”. The video serves as a love letter to their home-town Nashville, highlighting some of their favorite local dive bars and rock venues off the well worn Country/Americana path the city is generally known for.

Chicago-based band Action/Adventure are excited to  announce that they have signed to Pure Noise Records. Additionally, the band have shared that their new EP, "Pulling Focus", will be released on April 30th.
