Primed to grab 2025 by the scruff of the neck and give it a damn good shaking, high-octane boogie woogie punk rock ‘n rollers Split Dogs are set to embark on their first UK headline tour as they approach the release of their ‘Here To Destroy’ album, due for release on February 28th via Venn Records.

Born from the frustration of seeing music become commodified and soulless, vocalist Harry Atkins and guitarist Mil Martinez had the idea to form a band as far back as 2015, with the name ‘Split Dogs’ pulled from the classic zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’.

Santa Cruz hardcore band Scowl have announced a new album, Are We All Angels, for April 4th via Dead Oceans, their first with the label, whose roster includes Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski, Japanese Breakfast, etc. Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Mannequin Pussy, etc.), who worked on their most recent project, the Psychic Dance Routine EP, Are We All Angels finds the venomous and antagonistic band funneling their aggression through a more expansive version of themselves. The album was mixed by Rich Costey (Fiona Apple, My Chemical Romance, Vampire Weekend, etc..).

Welcome to KOKO, Lottery Winners’ most adventurous album, while also home to their most infectious songs yet. Having played to over half-a-million people at their shows in 2024 alone, it’s a captivating album which will only see that fanbase continue to grow.

023’s “Bottom of the Pomps” brought a timelessness that resonated with a certain type of listener (the type with ears and taste).  The Pomps’ perfect purple LP scrapped its way to cult fandom, and gained just enough traction for the band to say “ok, fine, one more”. 

Based in the capital city of Canada, The Riptides have been cranking out high-energy blasts of melodic, poppy punk rock for over 25 years. With their new LP Burn After Listening, the band makes the move to Pirates Press Records, and are ready to bring their sound to an all new worldwide audience! The band have released the video for the lead single, “End of the World.”

“Beliefs & Thieves”, the debut full-length album from The Kilograms, is a bold statement from a band already destined for legendary status. Released through Rad Girlfriend Records, a label renowned for championing punk and ska artists, alongside the newly minted Weights and Measures Records, this LP brings together a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians from the punk, ska, and reggae scenes.

Seattle's DEAD BARS — John Maiello, C.J. Frederick, Jon Oddo, Elliot Thordarson, and Rosie Gonce — were described by Razorcake as a band that "makes something impossible to duplicate look so simple and attainable." #Truth

For over a decade the band, founded and led by Maiello, has been belting out life-affirming hard rock with the same gift for the craft as acts like Japandroids, White Reaper, and Fucked Up. Since then, they've earned both national accolades and a reputation as a local institution, the band you're likely to see sweating it up onstage any given night.

Dirt-bike-riding, gun-toting, hell-raising hardcore heavyweights, Ingrown, are back. Today Boise's loudest and most vicious export have announced their sophomore album, Idaho, due out March 7th via Closed Casket Activities and shared it's vitriolic opening track "Bullet."
