New Bedford, MA's Wound Man and Los Angeles, CA's Regional Justice Center are two of modern hardcore’s most viscerally compelling bands; each started with the vision of a single member and have since evolved into fully-realized forces of nature both live and on record. Now they’ve teamed up for a split release due out April 19th from Atomic Action! Records.
Charleston, South Carolina noise-punk agitators, Florida Man, have announced their upcoming sophomore full-length, Tropical Depression, due out May 3rd from Spartan Records. Today Decibel Magazine is premiering the album's explosive opener, "Brain Cell." Decibel praised the band and album saying Florida Man, "blows the doors completely off the expectations shack on its frenetic, brilliant upcoming sophomore offering Tropical Depression — a wild noise punk/core tour de force that variously calls to mind Drive Like Jehu, Coalesce, early Unwound, Jesus Lizard, Rorschach, and more."
Hindsight is a funny thing. In 1999, no one took American Football seriously—at times, it feels like that includes the band.
Indie rock band The Darling Fire is thrilled to share their debut single, "For The Loveless". The song comes from the band's forthcoming album, Dark Celebration, out June 14th, 2019 via Spartan Records.
An Horse announced their new album Modern Air, coming out May 3rd on Lame-O Records. This is the first new album from the Brisbane, Australia turned New York/Montreal based indie two-piece in eight years.
Punk rockers don't age, they just get weirder, baby. Twenty years have zipped by, and The Briefs are as frantic, energetic, and snotty as ever. Like a scud missile from outer space, the band's debut album, “Hit After Hit,” set out to destroy the new Millennium's flaccid alt-rock scene—and, in turn—inspired two decades of raucous radioactive fallout.
The Raleigh-based four piece Truth Club make a place for themselves in the extremes. Pivoting between a vocal-focused minimalism and a more traditional, energetic full band sound, the group's distinctness is in their exploration of dynamics and movement. Travis Harrington's voice, which made its prodigal debut in the Wilmington project Astro Cowboy, expressively parallels the motion of the instrumentals, sometimes clear and soaring above the rest, other times almost mumbling in a deep stark and spoken cadance.
Frank Iero has signed with UNFD and is readying his third solo album "BARRIERS" for release on May 31st, 2019. Adopting the moniker, Frank Iero and the Future Violents, his latest band features longtime collaborator Evan Nestor, Matt Armstrong (ex-Murder by Death), Tucker Rule (Thursday) and Kayleigh Goldsworthy (Golds, Dave Hause, The Mermaid).
Baroness release their eagerly-awaited new album, Gold & Grey, on June 14 via Abraxan Hymns. The band has simultaneously released a video for the song “Borderlines”, which saw its live performance debut at Baroness’s tour kick off last Friday in Houston.
