Back in 2018, Ian MacKaye, Fugazi bandmate Joe Lally, and Evens bandmate Amy Farina debuted a new band on stage in DC. Since then they have only revealed that the band is called Coriky and played a handful other shows. They have now announced their debut album, a self-titled affair that is due March 27 via Dischord. You can now listen to first single - and opening track - “Clean Kill.”
Here is the band’s new bio:
"Coriky is a band from Washington, D.C. Amy Farina plays drums. Joe Lally plays bass. Ian MacKaye plays guitar. All sing.
The new blood of Santa Cruz hardcore punk and recent Revelation Records signees, Drain have announced their debut for the label, California Cursed, due out April 10th.
New Found Glory has officially announced their tenth studio album 'Forever + Ever x Infinity'. The band has put together a quintessential NFG record, supremely catchy with sing-along anthems, trademark breakdowns, and sweetly poignant lyrics. "This is the record our fans have been waiting for us to make," guitarist Chad Gilbert shares, "The old now feels new and fresh. It was a blast finding ourselves again."
Dutch melodic punk rockers Screw Houston are back with their new single. ‘Count Us Out’ is the band’s first new music since the well-received single ‘Midway’ which came out in July last year.
Sam Russo has had offers from much bigger/better labels, but to our delight, he chose to stick with his old chums at Red Scare for album #3. And “Back To The Party” is a special one. This is a diverse-sounding record with a broad spectrum of emotions on display. You can hear the loyalty and the love, the fear and the hope, the desperation and the triumph. You can also hear Sam trying new things as he crafts 33 minutes of his best stuff yet.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An alien boy lands on earth and is taken in by a childless couple who raise him as their own. And then once Clark Ke - sorry, Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn) hits puberty, he discovers he has powers. But where Brightburn takes a turn for the different, is when Brandon doesn’t use his powers for good. Instead, he goes round killing people.
Led by singer-songwriter Matt Pond, Matt Pond PA was an indie rock band out of New York who released a - for lack of a better word - shitload of music over the past 20 years.
Because absolutely no one was waiting for another Men In Black movie, someone decided it would be an utterly brilliant idea to release a sequel. Unfortunately, pretty much the only good thing you can say about ‘Men In Black: International’ is that it no longer features Tommy Lee Jones’ unmoving scowl.
