Bothers - II

Portland, Oregon’s Bothers have just announced the release of their sophomore LP “II” (due out November 18th on San Antonio/PDX label Dirt Cult Records with their advance single  Black/Orange. The band’s self-titled debut album was a concise and raging lesson in relentless punk 'n' roll, with tips of the hat to bands like Motörhead, and Hot Snakes. ‘II’ marks a new era for the band. Heavier and more expansive, the album ventures into the realm of metalic hardcore with fiercesome riffing and dynamic tempo changes.

Rejection Pact - Can We Wait?

Rejection Pact’s new album “Can We Wait?” is the 12” follow up and natural progression from their previous 7” release “Threats of the World.” In familiar fashion, the songs leave no room for filler with the 13 track album clocking in under 20 minutes. The new album leans much more into social & political issues with every song fitting a cohesive theme that begs the question “CAN WE WAIT?.

Archers Of Loaf - Reason In Decline

Reason in Decline, Archers of Loaf’s first studio album since the 1998 release of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. When they emerged from North Carolina’s ’90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers’ hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it’s a startling revelation.

Dazy - Outofbody

Dazy—the moniker of Richmond, VA-based musician James Goodson—today announced his debut album OUTOFBODY - recorded by Goodson at home and then mixed/mastered by Justin Pizzoferrato at Sonelab (Dinosaur Jr, The Pixies, Wild Pink) - will be released on October 28th, 2022, via Lame-O Records, with a cassette version available via Convulse Records. Along with the announcement comes the release of the first single “Split,” an infinitely tuneful track that combines buzzsaw guitars, a bouncy backbeat, and an indelible chorus that’ll have listeners singing along after first spin.

New Junk City - Beg A Promise

Atlanta punk band New Junk City writes heartfelt, catchy songs that have been described as “Tom Petty as played by Green Day.” One savvy reviewer supposed that they must have spent their childhood listening to their parents’ Gin Blossoms CD in the car, which the band is fine with, except it wasn’t their parents’, and it was definitely a Blink-182 CD. Currently on tour nowhere, because the world is ending, you can find their music on the internet.
