Bluff is the new full-length from Massachusetts band Sowing, due September 4, 2026 through 51st State Records. The record builds on the compact, high-impact approach of Becoming Hollow and The Distance Surrounding Me, pushing the band’s mix of emo, alternative rock, post-hardcore, shoegaze and melodic hardcore into a heavier full-album statement.
French punk band Burning Heads return with All Fired Up, following Torches of Freedom (2022) and Embers of Protest (2024).
The new release continues the band’s established approach, combining sharp guitar riffs, melodic and catchy choruses, power-pop and punk influences, and British-inspired songwriting. The album also features a nod to the older track “SOS” alongside the group’s recurring reggae elements.
For more than two decades, AJJ has been writing albums that attempt to make sense of an increasingly confusing world. And the Arizona band has repeatedly succeeded, somehow managing to find the small traces of hope and beauty buried in the wreckage of a decaying planet. But on their ninth album, Dirty Old Power (September 25, 2026), they are coming to terms with the fact that they may no longer have the words to express it all. In fact, the proper words of communication may not even exist anymore.

Primetime Failure will release their new EP, “Scars,” this September. The record reflects a turbulent period for the band, shaped by a member change, personal ups and downs, and the uncertainties of recent years.
According to the band, the songs developed organically rather than from a fixed plan, resulting in a collection centered around life’s highs and lows, memories, resilience, and the experiences that leave their mark.
The Linda Lindas’ third album, Gotta Get Out, captures the urgent, restless energy of breaking free to discover a bold, new identity. The record evolves their signature Gen-Z punk grit with adventurous synth textures and anthemic, sing-along grooves. Gotta Get Out is the definitive statement from a band fully coming into their own, showcasing the most ambitious and wide-ranging sound of their career.

After years of kicking around the scene playing in various bands the gravitational pull of the earth brought together this group of punk rock veterans to form Jacksonville Florida’s Tides in 2023.

Pressure Set have announced their debut single, "Blood Gimmick," the first taste of their forthcoming self-titled album, due out later this year on Dr. Strange Records.

Debut full-length album from Mid-West melodic skate punk band Rad Skulls. The band, formed in 2023, is based in Madison, WI and Rockford, IL.

The line-up also includes vocalist Bryce (of Collapse Create), and Chicago-area bassist Sean.
