Bad Astronaut - Untethered

Bad Astronaut's new album, Untethered, is set for release on November 8th, offering a fresh perspective on the band's classics. These reworked versions strip the songs down to their core, relying only on cello, piano, and vocals to highlight the raw emotion and songwriting behind each track. The band aims to showcase the essence of the music by removing most of the original instrumentation, allowing fans to connect with the heart of each song in a more intimate setting. The first single, "Grey Suits," is now streaming on all digital platforms.

Planes Mistaken For Stars - Do You Still Love Me?

A harrowing document of life, death and transcendence, Do You Still Love Me? is the fifth album from Planes Mistaken for Stars, the band’s second outing for Deathwish and first new music since 2016. It is also the first PMFS release since the death of Gared O’Donnell, whose cancer diagnosis loomed heavily over the recording and whose ghost guided the mix.

Crushing Low - This Is How We Die

Crushing Low are a new 5-piece punk-rock band from London, England. They aren’t big on metaphors… Their songs are directly about ways they could accidentally die in horrible accidents. Think of them as paranoia punk. Their first album, ‘This Is How We Die’ is released on September the 25th and is an existential crisis/reflection on mortality in a concise eight tracks and twelve minutes. In that short time they briskly surf the choppy waves of pop-punk, Epifat skate-punk and hardcore in one of the most fun projects they’ve ever been involved in.
