Cloud Nothings - Final Summer

Cloud Nothings are back! Cleveland's loudest export have announced their upcoming album, Final Summer, due out April 19th from Pure Noise Records. Over the past 15 years Cloud Nothings have become part of the fabric of modern indie rock with a steady run of reliably fantastic records, and this streak continues unabated with Final Summer–an album that’s so assured, so instantly satisfying, that it forces you to pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime.

Knocked Loose - You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To

On "You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To", Knocked Loose have honed in on a diverse, cohesive and savagely aggressive album that sums up the massive strides they’ve taken during their decade as a band, and asserts their boundless potential going forward. Internally, there was the need to challenge themselves as songwriters while retaining the merciless intensity and unflinching honesty that have always been their calling cards.

Dog Date - Zinger

Dog Date have been making a name for themselves with their scrappy, fuzzed-punk, and pummeling live show powered by a unique dual drummer attack. On Zinger, the five-piece have bottled the controlled chaos of their performances for all to experience. The record's lead single "Nuff Said" is a rip-roaring introduction, bringing to mind classics like The Wipers, or Mudhoney--the kinds of primally appealing bands that draw on punk, hardcore, garage, and straight up unhinged rock & roll in equal measure.

Take Offense - T.O.tality

Chula Vista’s Take Offense forge ahead towards new frontiers on T.O.tality. After nearly two decades of grinding and the accompanying blood/sweat, Take Offense have mastered their craft, reaching the pinnacle of their crossover style. T.O.tality, their fourth overall album and label debut for MNRK Heavy, is marked with a sense of modernity– incorporating the hard-driving ethos of thrash, the finesse of speed metal, the sneering tenacity of hardcore all while nodding to their home of Southern California.
