Ok. NOFX. Yeah.

On their first release boasting new material in 15 years, Fenix TX come out swinging with opening track “Spooky Action At A Distance”.

There has been no shortage in recent years of bands trying to fuse black metal with shoegaze, but few have been as good at it as Alcest.

Canada’s Brutal Youth is back at it! They have been touring like crazy since the release of 2013’s “Stay Honest” and sound tighter than ever because of it.

Every band has to come to an end at some point. And that time is now for Midwest hardcore crew Expire. Luckily they don’t leave us behind empty-handed, releasing one last album instead.

Up until now, Joyce Manor always saw a studio as a place they preferred to spend as little time in as possible. Their last album, “Never Hungover Again”, was recorded in just ten days.

Barely a year after the release of “The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us”, Beach Slang is already back with a new album.

As soon as opening “Sing This” kicks off, it becomes clear that compared to last year’s “Vultures” the UK duo known as God Damn went with a more streamlined sound for their sophomore release.

When Brett Netson wasn’t busy with Built To Spill back in the nineties, he used to crank out albums with heavy psych band Caustic Resin.

Following releases on Panic State Records and Paper And Plastick, The Moms have now hooked up with Bar/None Records for the release of “Snowbird”.
