Broadway Calls - Sad In The City

Rainier, Oregon pop punks Broadway Calls will release their first new album in seven years, Sad In The City, on July 10 via Red Scare Industries. It's their first album for Red Scare, following releases on SideOneDummy, No Sleep, and other labels, and Red Scare say, "We’ve been fans of Broadway Calls for a while now and after years of pestering they finally gave in and joined the team. Their exact words were, 'It would take a catastrophic act of god that destroyed the music industry for us to consider working with Red Scare.' And what do ya know! Thank you, 2020."

IDLES - Ultra Mono

On September 25th, IDLES will release their anticipated third album – ‘Ultra Mono’ – via Partisan Records.

Frontman Joe Talbot says of “Grounds”: “We wanted to write a song that embodied self-belief, and gave us self-belief - a counter-punch to all the doubt we build up from all the noise we so easily let in. We wanted to make the sound of our own hearts’ marching band, armed with a jack hammer and a smile. We wanted to make the sound of our engine starting. So we did. Thank you."

Shellycoat - Hide The Knives

Hamburg punk band Shellycoat will be releasing their third studio album on July 17th via Fond Of Life Records. The sound of the band is strongly reminiscent of the popular US punk of the 90s and 2000s, but always leaves room for experiments with alternative and indie elements.

Past releases have been compared by the press to Billy Talent, Good Riddance, Ignite, Tsunami Bomb and Rise Against. Building on this sound, Shellycoat have added a scoop in all directions. More punk, more pop, more experiments.

 

Track listing:

The Milwaukees - The Calling

Any suburban kid of a certain age who misses the wholehearted music of their anthemic rock radio listening youth will find THE MILWAUKEES’ new effort The Calling (their sixth overall and their first since 2011) both sincere and familiar. The Jersey City rock band’s sound is inspired by rock greats like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, The Afghan Whigs and Foo Fighters, yet it fits right in alongside today’s newer generation of notable American rock acts like The Hold Steady and The Gaslight Anthem.
