Following up on 2021’s ‘Keep Me Glued,’ Local Drags is back with album number three.
When I first heard ‘Slip’ back in 1993, I was immediately blown away. It was a completely different beast from what I was listening to at the time and blended heaviness and melody in a way that I hadn’t heard before.
Canada punk rock outfit AVEM first made their way onto my radar through their split with Cobra and the Daggers and
World Of Retarded is the 8th studio album from LATTE+ and is set to be released on March 24 via ProRawk.
The album was recorded by Ettore Gilardoni during two separate sessions at Real Sound Recording Studios in Milan, and serves up twelve new LATTE+ originals and one cover song (Queers/Born To Do Dishes.) World Of Retarded does a great job at showcasing the band's versatility and growth, while still delivering that classic LATTE+ sound that fans of the band from across the world have come to know and love through the years.
Dine Alone Records and Canadian punks Single Mothers are pleased to announce the Friday, April 28 release of the band’s new album, Roy. Written over the course of a week during a particularly challenging time for frontman and Single Mothers’ only permanent member Drew Thomson, Roy is a complete anomaly not only within the music scene but within the band’s own catalog. It’s a far cry from the scathing hardcore rippers of their beloved 2014 release, Negative Qualities, and it bears little resemblance to the more mellowed post-punk sounds that populated 2022’s Everything You Need.
CONSTANT SPRINGTIME, the full-length debut of Washington D.C.’s Magazine Beach, was written over two years in an attempt to make an album that’s intentional, emotive, and radically different from our previous endeavors. During this time, they deliberately wrote only the 11 songs that are on the album. Through extensive writing sessions individually and collectively, they distilled their favorite emo, hardcore, folk, and power pop tropes into a work that examines the concept of “The Album” as a medium.
Pirates Press Records welcomes Teenage Bottlerocket to the family to release their new EP “So Dumb/So Stoked,” on April 28th.
The two title tracks from this A-side come from the band’s differing perspectives during the pandemic. “These songs were recorded in 2020 which we all know was a pretty crazy year (to say the very least). I wrote ‘So Dumb’ because I was pretty frustrated with people's inability to seek common ground and try to make things actually better,” says bassist Miguel Chen.
Brooklyn, NY indie/emo trio wakelee has unveiled "Tug Of War" the new single and music video off the upcoming self-titled 12-track album, produced by Superbloom's Brian DiMeglio (Bartees Strange, Stay Inside, Proper) and out April 14.
If live performance remains as the great leveler in the world of rock and roll, then USELESS ID floats above the rest with their forthcoming set, Live in Tel Aviv (release date: April 21, 2023 via Double Helix Records). You can pre-order the double album here.
