Las Vegas, NV punk/pop punk trio Mercy Music have just announced their forthcoming new album titled “Nothing In the Dark” out this September via Wiretap Records (US) and SBAM Records (EU).
Stop me if you've heard this one before. UK singer/songwriter walks into a bar... well, at least I think that's what Sam Russo would like to do looking at the title of his latest album.
Produced by guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, the album features the band’s current lineup, including Fitzgerald, singer Dave Quackenbush, renowned studio drummer Josh Freese, and bassist Joe Escalante, who remains the longest-running member of the group. Despite the band’s tongue-in-cheek humor, nonsensical lyrics, and downright silliness, The Vandals’ musicianship is no joke. The four-piece is in top form on Live Fast, Diarrhea – from Freese’s rapid-fire drumming and Escalante’s tight bass lines to Fitzgerald’s relentless, hard-driving guitar lines, and Quackenbush’s nimble vocals.
When it comes to garage rock and punk it’s easy to say you’ve heard it all before. CRACKUPS makes mincemeat of such preconceptions because this an entirely new animal.
As loud as a power saw. As fast as a shark. As tight as a duck’s arse. Check, check and check. It’s the quality of the songs that makes all the difference: CRACKUPS’ craftsmanship is undeniable with clever structures that mercilessly plunge every music fan into an orgy of riotous but superior garage punk.
Seven years after the release of their last album, Broadway Calls are finally back at it with ‘Sad In The City’.
Shades Apart are back with their first album in almost twenty years! The band released their previous two albums, Eyewitness (1999) and Sonic Boom (2001), with Universal Records and have been rather quiet since. The New Jersey power-rock trio have found a new home, in their own backyard, with NJ indie label Hellminded Records and are ready to release Eternal Echo later this summer. Eternal Echo is a return to form consisting of ten supercharged power-pop and rock songs that meet somewhere between their earlier work on Seeing Things and Eyewitness.
Other than the fact that they are from Chicago and consist of a George, two Bens, and a Bill, there isn’t a lot of information out there about How To Feel.
Time Spent Driving will be releasing their new EP, 'Estrangers Vol. 1'. You can check out first single, "Wake Up and Smell the Daisies", below.

Pop punks Slick Shoes have announced their new album, 'Rotation & Frequency,' their first full length album in 17 years. The band also return to Tooth & Nail Records, who will put out the new album, and were the band's label home for their four of their five studio albums.
At the start of 2017, Evan Thomas Weiss wasn’t sure that he would make Figure, his long-awaited fourth full-length record under namesake Into It. Over It. But built slowly and kindly with the help of his friends, Figure became his commitment to do better and to be better.
“It’s about trying to make peace with poor decisions that I’ve made,” Weiss says, “and how I can try to reconcile as much as I can, and what I can’t reconcile, how I’m going to cope with that moving forward, and what I can do to be better to the people around me.”
