Early Riser is a cello-driven pop-punk band from Brooklyn, NY. They originally formed as an acoustic duo of Kiri Oliver (vocals/guitar) and Heidi Vanderlee (cello/vocals), who released their debut album Currents in 2017. They found their permanent lineup and evolved their sound with the addition of rhythm section Nicole Nussbaum (bass/vocals) and Mikey Erg (drums/vocals), resulting in 2021’s Vocations. They also covered songs about cats for the official tributes to two of their favorite artists, The Weakerthans and Jack Terricloth.

Punk Rock Supergroup IMPLANTS, featuring members of SoCal mainstays Strung Out, Pulley, Ten Foot Pole, Authority Zero, and Brown Lobster Tank/The Tank, will drop their highly anticipated full-length album, Annihilation, on October 18th via Cyber Tracks. Limited edition vinyl preorder will launch on September 6th. 

House of Protection, the new project from Aric Improta (drums) and Stephen Harrison (guitar), announced their debut EP GALORE, coming to Red Bull Records on September 13. Alongside the news, they dropped their fourth adrenaline-inducing single, 'Pulling Teeth' with an official video shot inside the legendary “Well of Death”. Dating back to April, the band travelled to Ahmedabad, India to capture a performance in the country’s infamous carnival sideshow.
