Today, we are premiering New Jersey punk trio Burntmill Ghosts' new single “The Mirror." The track serves as the first preview of the band’s forthcoming sophomore album, due in 2027 via Double Helix Records and SBAM Records.
Chastity will release a new full-length, I Built This Prison Myself, on November 13, 2026. The album is based on a story from the band’s hometown of Whitby, Ontario, focusing on the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital and a 1976 fire set by a 16-year-old patient who burned down a barn on the hospital grounds.
Written by Chastity’s Brandon Williams, the 10-song album uses the story as a starting point to explore themes of fear, powerlessness, control and identity. The album’s title reflects its focus on the ways external pressures can become internalized.
French alt-emo band Paerish will release their new album Rita on October 16 via SideOneDummy Records. The band has also shared “Vapor Cloud,” the second single from the record, following “Wait For Dark.”
“Vapor Cloud” reflects on the band’s years of writing and the desire to maintain a creative life over time. Vocalist and guitarist Mathias Court says the song grew from the question of whether the urge to create can fade as people move beyond their twenties and settle into other parts of life.

The group shared, “’Floor Burner’ is the blueprint for THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD. It was pieced together from three separate ideas and evolved into this pure party-starter. The whole point is simple: get on the floor and dance.”
