Suck Brick Kid - The End Is What I Want

SUCK BRICK KID will drop their new album The End Is What I Want via Smarpunk Records on May 17. Ahead of the album release, the band is also debuting two singles: "It's Okay…Probably" and "Unacceptable."

Suck Brick Kid's upcoming album is a fun, yet introspective punk record about how they think you felt when you inscribed your life's work to that snot rocket-inhabited bathroom stall. It's a little dirty, a little irreverent, and totally fun. It's also a major source of inspiration for the new album. More on that in a second, though...

Totally Slow - The Darkness Intercepts

NC's Totally Slow offers up razor sharp, no-frills punk music, with angry lyrics that show how the personal is inseparable from the political when the country is on the brink of chaos. The band has combined the melodic anthems of 1980s SoCal bands like The Adolescents, Agent Orange and The Faction, with the skewed rawk of ‘90s San Diego bands Drive Like Jehu and Truman’s Water, and the righteous conviction of classic DC hardcore like Dag Nasty, Gray Matter and Fugazi.

NOFX - Half Album

NOFX has announced 'Half Album,' which drops on April 19th.  Check out what Fat Mike had to share about their latest release below.

"Was it worth it? Was it worth spending five years finishing the five songs on my double album project that I thought were the worst of the bunch? Was it a good idea to spend so much time raising the runts of the litter? Was it an error in judgement when I wrote a song about the magnitude of my arrogance? I think the answers to all these rhetorical questions might be found by listening to this half-sided album..... but I seriously doubt it."

Masonic Wave - Masonic Wave

The brotherhood behind Chicago supergroup Masonic Wave is palpable on the quintet’s self-titled debut LP, out April 12, 2024 via War Crime Records. Comprised of vocalist/saxophonist Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), bassist Fritz Doreza (Naked Raygun), drummer Clayton DeMuth (Sybris) and guitarists Scott Spidale (God Damn Your Eyes) and Sean Hulet (Land of the El Caminos), the rock outfit brings together some of the city’s best talents into a melting pot of heavy riffs, thundering beats and gripping vocals that makes Masonic Wave a strong entrant in Chicago’s venerable rock history.
