Growing Stone, the musical moniker of Taking Meds vocalist/guitarist Skylar Sarkis, has announced his new full-length, Death of a Momma's Boy, due out June 28th via Near Mint. For years now Sarkis has been one of the most unique voices coming out of DIY punk, but Growing Stone proves he's just as adept at making incisive and intense music that doesn't rely on volume. Death of a Momma's Boy is his most accomplished work to date, a strikingly candid album that looks so unflinchingly at discomfort and despair that the beauty around the edges starts to shine through brighter.

Swami & the Bed of Nails featuring Swami John Reis (Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt, PLOSIVS and more) are excited to announce the Friday, August 2 release of the band’s debut album, All Of This Awaits You. Produced by John Reis and mixed by Ben Moore, All Of This Awaits You was born out of the final Hot Snakes writing sessions in 2023.

Led by the great Todd Congelliere (who also leads or has lead F.Y.P., Toys That Kill, and more), Clown Sounds has announced an upcoming LP called 'Par For The Curse'. The album will be out on July 12 via Todd's label, Recess Records.
