Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death

Barely a year since their debut ‘Dogrel’ earned them a spot as one of the most acclaimed new bands of 2019, Dublin’s Fontaines D.C. will return with ‘A Hero’s Death’ on 31st July via Partisan Records. Arriving battered and bruised - albeit beautiful - the album is anything but a re-hash of the swaggering energy from their first record. Instead, the music is patient, confident, and complex – a heady and philosophical take on the modern world and its great uncertainty.

ILS - Curse

ILS has announced their debut LP and released a new single entitled "Bad Parts".

(Pronounced ilz) ILS is a 4 piece disaster chic band from Portland, OR. ILS consists of Tom Glose (Black Elk) on vocals. Nate Abner (The Days, The Nights) on guitar. Tim Steiner (Passerby) on drums and Adam Pike (White Orange) on bass.

ATD - A Total Disappointment

ATD burst onto the Vancouver punk scene in 2015,  debuting on a bill with The Real McKenzies. Since then, they’ve shared the stage with an array of notable acts including GBH, Leftover Crack, Days N Daze and The Flatliners.

Following up several EPs, this self-titled album will be their first full-length record. Mixed and mastered by Shafer Carson (KCR), the album (the first release of the year for Kinda Cool Records) will be out on  May 29th, 2020.

Murder In The Front Row

Featuring interviews with everyone from Metallica and Slayer to Megadeth and Exodus, ‘Murder In The Front Row’ tells the story of how thrash metal exploded in the Bay Area back in the 80’s. United by their hatred of all things glam and spurred on by the likes of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and other European metal bands, the Bay Area bands were all about playing fast and loud while causing as much mayhem as they could along the way.
