MNRK UK and Cold Years are excited to announce the Friday, April 26 release of A Different Life, the rising Scottish rock quartet’s brand new full-length album. Recorded at The Barber Shop Studios in New Jersey by producer Brett Romnes (Anxious, Hot Mulligan, Boston Manor, The Movielife), A Different Life follows Paradise, the band’s 2020 politically-charged look at life in their hometown of Aberdeen, and 2022’s soaring & musically daring follow-up, Goodbye To Misery.

Owen announces the new album The Falls of Sioux, Co-produced by Sean Carey (Bon Iver) and Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, Low, Waxahatchee) and out April 26th on Polyvinyl Record Co. As the solo vehicle for the widely influential songwriting of Mike Kinsella (who’s prolific output includes roles along the way in American Football, Cap’n Jazz, LIES and other collaborative ventures), Owen has charted the evolution and sharpening of his craft with each new chapter. Along with today’s announcement we are also treated to the lead single and video for “Beaucoup”.

Planet On A Chain, or POAC for the sake of brevity, is the confluence of members of some of the underground's most dynamic and explosive hardcore and punk bands going back to the late ‘90s. Vocalist Dave Ackerman fronted New Jersey's Tear It Up and Dead Nation, and is backed by members of Bay Area, CA, vets from bands like Dead and Gone, Punch, Look Back and Laugh, Talk Is Poison, and many, many more. Today the band announces Culture Of Death, their second full-length album set for release through longtime home to hardcore - Revelation Records - on April 5th.

"I think it’s important for a band to keep pushing... trying new things,” says Jack Grisham, vocalist for legendary SoCal punk band T.S.O.L. “If not, you might as well do the county fair circuit... not that there’s anything wrong with that. You’ve got to make a living somehow!” For T.S.O.L., that “new thing” is their ninth studio album A-Side Graffiti, which comes out February 27, 2024 via Kitten Robot Records. The 12-track explosion of force was produced by Paul Roessler (The Screamers, Nina Hagen, Josie Cotton).

The Melvins latest opus, Tarantula Heart (April 19, Ipecac Recordings), is quite possibly the band’s most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for its eccentric and extraordinary output.

A preview of the five-song, 39-minute collection arrives with the release of “Working The Ditch”, and the accompanying Jesse Nieminen-created video. Nieminen previously directed the band’s short film, “A Walk With Love and Death.”

Belgium's F.O.D. will be releasing their sixth album 'The Once A Virgin CLub' on April 5th via SBÄM Records and Double Helix Records. Infusing their sound with harmonies and catchy melodies, F.O.D. draws inspiration from legendary 90s predecessors like Green Day, Descendents, Lagwagon, and Bad Religion while adding their unmistakable twist.  After experimenting some more with their sound, the band's new album will bring the band back to its roots with fast, catchy, melodic punkrock-songs filled with harmonies!
