Bay Area punk rockers Druglords of the Avenues have just announced their new LP Gotta Light via Pirates Press Records. The LP is scheduled for release on March 20, and features the single “Ghetto Sidewalks,” along with nine other new songs.
New York's Scarboro have announced a new album and accompanying single! The new track, "Sin Futuro", comes off of their sophomore album, Hate Season, which comes out on April 17th via Sell The Heart Records (U.S.) and WTF Records (EU).
Hailing from New York City, SCARBORO is a punk rock trio that delivers fast, aggressive, and unapologetically raw music. Formed in 2012, the band draws inspiration from classic 80s hardcore, skate punk, and the East Coast DIY ethos, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fiercely original.
Following the release of 2023’s Smalltown Stardust, King Tuff, the moniker of Burlington, Vermont artist Kyle Thomas, found himself a bit lost. He had felt lost since 2016. Both Smalltown Stardust and 2018’s The Other had been departures from his sound, and while they were both new sonic places that he needed to explore, neither album felt all that fun to perform live. Every show he would just be looking forward to playing his older, wilder material.
Canadian pop-punk mainstays Chief State have announced their new full-length album, Keep Your Friends Closer, due out April 17 via Mutant League Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the album’s title track as a new single, complete with an accompanying music video.
Rising screamo revivalists, Knumears, recently joined Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade (the RFC imprint spearheaded by Fury's Madison Woodward), and today the Los Angeles based three-piece have announced their debut album, Directions.
Semi Famous began as a fictional band in John “Jughead” Pierson’s novel Weasels In A Box. At the suggestion of Rarebird Publishing’s Tyson Cornell, Jughead decided to make the band real, joining forces with Ryan Rockwell of Mixtapes and Billy Brown, a veteran of 1990s hardcore bands including Crash & Burn. That lineup recorded the 7-inch EP Collective Mindlessness, sparking a collaboration that quickly grew beyond its original scope.
Death Lens might be the perfect punk band for the moment: four working class, multicultural musicians from Southern California who write stage-dive anthems for the oppressed, wielding a message of resilience and a sound of sweat-soaked celebration that appeals to outsiders of all stripes. They have just announced their new album titled What’s Left Now? due for release on April 24th.
With 'Riot Inside My Head', No Gimmick will be releasing their first new album in over a decade. The Phoenix area punks have been ripping off 90s punk since 1996 and see no reason to stop doing so now.
