Armed with a deluge of influences, from Sonic Youth, No Doubt and American Football to a collective fascination with film photography, Irish colloquialism and rural seaside towns Dublin’s The Winter Passing return with their second album – New Ways of Living.
Recorded at The Ranch with producer Neil Kennedy, the new material, a classic mix of midwestern emo influenced indie punk rock, focusses on killer melodies and the Flynn’s poetical outpourings centred around their experiences with loneliness, bullying, self-awareness, and Irish working class anxieties.
Polyvinyl Record Co. is excited to announce the forthcoming release of Owen’s The Avalanche, out June 19th. The new album is the latest entry in the long-running solo efforts of American Football’s Mike Kinsella, and with it, he delivers a set of Owen songs, recorded with producer Sean Carey (Bon Iver, Peter Gabriel) and engineer Zach Hanson (The Tallest Man On Earth, Waxahatchee), that are the most straightforward and unguarded the project has ever been.

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.

Instead, the music is patient, confident, and complex – a heady and philosophical take on the modern world and its great uncertainty.

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.

Just like you can’t go wrong with a picture of ALF as your album cover (which I only recently discovered stood for Alien Life Form), you can never go wrong with a new DeeCRACKS release.
