Atlanta, GA's Microwave have joined the Pure Noise Records roster and have a brand new full-length on the way. The band's third LP, Death Is A Warm Blanket, is due out September 13th and finds Microwave taking a daring sonic leap. The album plunges the band into darker and more aggressive territory than ever before, while also providing their catchiest melodies to date. Today Microwave have shared two new songs to offer a taste of their new direction.

Most people involved with ska have met Adam Davis through his years of touring the world with Link 80; I met him at the gym. When I first moved to Alameda CA I thought to myself “there’s no way anyone on this island has more ska-cred than me!”… it turns out I was wrong by about 20 years.

Elvis Depressedly, the enigmatic project of prolific songwriter, Mathew Lee Cothran, has announced Depressedelica, a brand new full-length due out October 4th from Run For Cover Records.

Depressedelica marks the North Carolina based musician's first new album as Elvis Depressedly in four years, following 2015's critically acclaimed New Alhambra.

Antwerp-based outfit Newmoon have toned down the feedback of their acclaimed debut album ‘Space’ and turned up the melody for their brand new full-length ‘Nothing Hurts Forever’, due Friday 11th October via [PIAS] Recordings.

Thunderously dreamy and reminiscent of Ride, My Bloody Valentine, A Place To Bury Strangers, their latest cut was recorded in London by producer Andy Savours (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Dream Wife, Sorry) and weaves a patchwork of glimmering indie resonance onto a bedrock of ecstatic, crunchy guitar-pop.

Life of Agony will return with their brand new album titled 'The Sound of Scars,' on October 11th on Napalm Records. It's the band's 6th studio album, and is a concept record continuing the story of the band’s legendary debut River Runs Red. The albums’ release dates are almost exactly 26 years apart, and the story follows the events in real time that took place after the troubled teenager attempted to take his own life on River Runs Red.

Vinnie Caruana has announced new EP 'Aging Frontman', set for release on 4th October via Big Scary Monsters, and released first track 'Better'.

Red Scare Industries will be celebrating their 15th anniversary with the compilation 'Red Scare Industries: 15 Years of Tears and Beers'.

Here’s what Toby had to say:

San Diego's Western Settings have just announced their new album 'Another Year,' coming out September 6th on A-F Records and Gunner Records.

Death Cab for Cutie have announced a new five-song EP called 'The Blue EP'. Serving as the follow-up to last year’s Thank You for Today LP, it’s due out September 6th. In a tweet announcing the release, Deatch Cab said the songs “share a similar conception but different births.”
