Originally established in late 1995, the one-time Kalamazoo, Michigan indie band Broken Hearts Are Blue regrouped in 2018 to release three previously unrecorded songs (Here Is Always Nowhere, Late Night, Walnut Street, Rustbelt Sunsets), plus a brand new one (Murder Mysteries). The experience of writing and recording after more than two decadesspurred the geographically dislocated four-piece to continue to develop and share demos from their homes in Los Angeles, Alameda, Minneapolis, and Kalamazoo.

Eight new tracks and seven acoustic versions from Snuff. A folk band for the age. A punk band for the Millenium. Making music for music's sake. Completely independent and self-sustaining. The punk & mod men of Harrow in a direct timeline from the sharply dressed Hoochie Coochie blues & soul men of Chicago and Detroit. Duncan Redmonds is a storyteller and observer following on from the British folk tradition of Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy set to a punk-motown beat that is revered in certain circles but misunderstood in polite society. Raucous songs of modern folk tales.

Michigan hardcore band Big Deal announce their debut album, Beyond Repair, set for release February 23rd on New York-based label, Heroes + Martyrs. The record is a frenzy of seven energetic songs that combine traditional hardcore with more metallic thrash elements. Having already teased with early singles “Upper Hand” and “Raw Deal,” Big Deal now shares “Thank You.” The two and half minute track soars with an electrifying riff,  seething vocals, and features a guest spot from Atlanta hardcore band Strangle You.
