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!

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.
