Pet Needs break into the new year with "Punk Isn’t Dead (It’s Just Up For Sale)" (Acoustic). The track is peeled from the upcoming new album ‘Kind of Acoustic’, which arrives on 24th January. A track that has found the Essex four-piece parading their punk with pride, with tongues firmly in cheeks, since their very earliest days; this January the band deliver us a fresh rendition of this favourite cut.

Of this new acoustic reworking of “Punk Isn’t Dead (It’s Just Up For Sale)”, Johnny of the band says:

Philadelphia's hardcore punks Staticlone sign to Relapse Records and make their debut with the crushing new album, Better Living Through Static Vision, out March 7, 2025.

Hardcore and punk aren't genres that necessarily celebrate change. It’s not like the music is stagnant; it’s more that the tried and true is rewarded while anything new, anything different, is greeted with a quizzical eyebrow and the spoken or unspoken question of: “Is this good? Can you mosh to it?"

Smartpunk Records' beloved punk rockers Debt Neglector have released two new singles as the sneak peek at their upcoming full-length album "Kinda Rips," which is set to release on April 4, 2024 via Smartpunk Records. You can check them out here.

Tacoma Washington trio Let Me Downs have teamed up with South Bay California’s Felony Records to release their newest full length, 'North by Southwest'. This will be the follow-up to their 2021 self released 'Tacoma Is For Lovers'. 

'North By Southwest' was recorded at Razors Touch Studios in El Cajon, CA, and was engineered and produced by Chad Ruiz (Urethane, Skipjack). Mastered by Scott Hallquist (Ten Foot Pole, DC Fallout). 

Raleigh, NC band Thirsty Curses share a new single today from their forthcoming fifth album. The album, Music is a Scam was produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile, Screaming Trees).

Thirsty Curses is an eclectic rock band from Raleigh, NC, which The Big Takeover called "too good to be this anonymous."  The band pulls from various influences including punk, alt-country/Americana, classic rock, and power pop alongside the distinct songwriting, lyricisms, and delivery of frontman Wilson Getchell.  No one sounds quite like Thirsty Curses.

At heart, Denver’s ZEPHR is a punk band. At live shows - with 0% irony - they cover “Hey Jealousy” by the Gin Blossoms. Within the spectrum of those two sentences lies the perfect description of ZEPHR's sound, which is captured in its most definitive form yet on their 2nd LP, Past Lives.  

Based in Nashville, Winona Fighter—frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon, lead guitarist Dan Fuson and bassist/producer Austin Luther — formed after Coco moved there from Boston, and made a strong impression with their 2022 debut EP, Father Figure. Three of its songs—"Subaru”, “You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers” and “Wlbrn St Tvrn”—were re-recorded for MY APOLOGIES TO THE CHEF, the band’s debut album, but their power and potency is in no way diminished.

Massachusetts shred punk quintet OH THE HUMANITY! will release the new LP 'Ground To Dust' on January 24.

Partnering with A Wilhelm Scream’s Trevor Reilly behind the console and with the addition of a new member, the band pushed outside of their comfort zone to create what they collectively feel is their most significant release to date. For fans of ripping guitars, big hooks and gut-wrenching lyrics, this record has something for everyone.

The Rumjacks are excited to announce their new album Dead Anthems, due out February 7th, 2025 via FOUR FOUR. News of the forthcoming album’s release date comes on the heels of the band teasing new music with recent singles “An Irish Goodbye On St. Valentines Day”, and the pro-imigrant anthem “Come Hell Or High Water”.

Bob Mould is celebrating the new year with the announcement of a long-awaited new studio album. Here We Go Crazy arrives via Granary Music/BMG Records on Friday, March 7.

Mould’s 15th solo album and first full-length new album in more than four years, Here We Go Crazy – which follows 2020’s critically acclaimed Blue Hearts – is heralded by today’s premiere of the lead single and title track, “Here We Go Crazy,” available everywhere now.
