Japandroids - Massey Fucking Hall

Vancouver duo Japandroids are announcing their first-ever live album today, reverently titled Massey Fucking Hall after the historic Toronto venue where it was recorded. To be released digitally on June 19 and vinyl later this fall on October 2, the 12 tracks include live versions of songs from all three of the band’s critically acclaimed studio albums. Today the band has shared the live version of “Heart Sweats”, originally appearing on 2009’s Post-Nothing.

Le Mans '66

Personally, I have always felt that the kind of people driving a Ferrari do so because they feel like they have to compensate for something else. But there is no denying that Ferrari was dominating the racing world in the mid 60’s. Which was a thorn in the eye of Henry Ford II. So when Ford went looking to stick it to Enzo Ferrari, he turned no further than to Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and Ken Miles (Christian Bale), two guys crazy enough to maybe pull it off. Vroom vroom.

"Something Wicked," the first offering from the EP, is a minute and a half of the sonic aggression on which Trash Talk built their name.

Joyce Manor - Songs from Northern Torrance

Acclaimed California-based four-piece Joyce Manor have announced Songs From Northern Torrance. The 10-track compilation is a collection of early material that offers a glimpse into the band’s humble beginnings as an acoustic two-piece. Originally recorded between 2008-2010, many of the tracks have become fan favorites over the years previously existing in a live setting, or on rare CD-Rs sold by the band during their early days on the road.

 

Track listing:

Remo Drive - A Portrait of an Ugly Man

Remo Drive have revealed details of their highly awaited new album, A Portrait of an Ugly Man, which sees its release June 26 via Epitaph Records. With its acrobatic guitar work, deeply self-referential lyrics and off-the-walls energy, the album calls back to the dextrous, eccentric sound that helped the band – brothers Erik (vocals, guitar) and Stephen (bass) Paulson – explode into the underground with their 2017 debut.

The Ghost Inside - The Ghost Inside

Metalcore band The Ghost Inside will release their fifth studio album on June 5 via Epitaph Records. The self-titled album arrives as the follow-up to the band’s 2014 release Dear Youth, which debuted #63 on the Billboard 200, and will be the first release since their tragic bus accident in 2015. The road to recovery has been extensive both mentally and physically but all things considered, they’ve shown a positive and inspiring attitude through the entire process of recovery. They will not stop fighting to do what they love and are excited to return.
