Canadian metal/hardcore band Counterparts has announced plans to release a new EP titled Private Room on September 7th with Pure Noise Records.
“Private Room is a collection of B sides from the last two records that we think deserve to see the light of day. The EP is dedicated to our love of private room karaoke and all of our friends/fans that put up with our psycho bullshit on and off stage.” - Brendan Murphy
Track listing:
The Stockholm based quintet Sudakistan return with their second album Swedish Cobra, again fusing their own brand of psychedelia infused rock with latino rhythms. It’s the follow-up to their acclaimed debut LP from 2015, Caballo Negro, which was hailed as a mixture of Thee Oh Sees and Death From Above 1979, and released to rave reviews from the likes of Classic Rock, Uncut, The Line of Best Fit and KEXP. Recording live in studio, Swedish Cobra captures the band’s chaotic but focused live shows, showcasing a broader and more mature sound while losing none of the urgency.
Sometimes you have to go back to basics in order to find yourself again. This is something Scottish rock mainstays We Were Promised Jetpacks realized over the course of creating their brand-new fourth album The More I Sleep The Less I Dream.
Produced by Jonathan Low (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs), the new record takes their experiences, forged from their ten years as a touring band and the changes in their personal lives, to create something that showcases the instinctive simplicity of their earlier work while representing a new phase in their career.

Track listing:
Ogikubo Station is the musical lovechild of Maura Weaver (Mixtapes) and Mike Park (Asian Man Records, The Chinkees, Skankin’ Pickle). They’re set to release their forthcoming record We Can Pretend Like on August 24 via Asian Man Records
Track listing:
On September 21, Joyce Manor will release their fifth full-length effort, Million Dollars to Kill Me. The album follows 2016’s critically lauded release Cody.
A lot can happen in three years, and for The Story So Far, a whole lot did. After the release of their third, self-titled album in 2015, the band’s routine writing, recording, and touring had caught up with them.
