Ride returns with the news of their seventh studio album, Interplay, out March 29th via Wichita Recordings / PIAS. The new record is the Oxford four-piece’s third since reforming in 2014, having now been together longer in their current second phase than their original iteration as 90’s shoegaze pioneers. The announcement is accompanied by the album’s first single, "Peace Sign," out now.
"I’d Say I'm Not Fine," is Barely Civil’s amalgamation of the rage, pain, and self-framing that came in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Bitter at times, hopeful and direct in others, this album is a conscious attempt to answer the questions presented in the band's debut and sophomore installments.
Produced & Mixed by Chris Teti (The World Is…, Fiddlehead, Anxious)

What's Mine track list:
Melbourne, Australia's Split System have announced their new album, 'Vol. 2'. The album continues to flex out the high voltage proto punk that Split System have modified as their own. A swift and compact display of eleven songs, the album perfectly combines muscular street punk with hooks doused in classic rock. Releasing via Goner Records, the Australian five-piece are a must listen to for fans of Osees, The Hives, and The Chats.
Oakland, CA based States of Nature have announced a new full-length album, and an accompanying single. The album, titled Brighter Than Before, features 10 brand new songs, blending elements of post-hardcore, psych & garage, and straight up rock 'n roll. The first single, "New Foundations", may have an uplifting dance punk vibe to it, but lyrically it is on the darker side.
Deep Sage, Gouge Away’s third studio album, started coming together in 2019 during sound checks and in small pockets of downtime between tours. In early 2020, they demoed songs with Brok Mende in an unassuming storage unit in Orlando, FL. Gouge Away pulled influence not only from the nostalgia of the bands they grew up listening to, but also developed a sense of urgency, noise, and introspective lyrics they felt most represented them. Those demos helped shape the songs into the finished record that Deep Sage would become.
On March 1, Brooklyn’s post-punk stalwarts SAVAK will release their new album Flavors Of Paradise on Ernest Jenning Recording Co. Today SAVAK is pleased to share "Leash Biter" the first track to be released from Flavors Of Paradise.
Ghost Work (featuring members / ex-members of Seaweed, Snapcase, Milemarker, and Minus The Bear) will release the new 11-track LP "Light a Candle for the Lonely" on March 8th via Spartan Records. You can stream the album's first single "Godspeed on the Trail" below.
Vocalist Aaron Stauffer says, "What can I say...this is literally my best singing performance and recording I've completed EVER since I began home recording. I would put this song up at the same level of some of my Seaweed favorites. It reminds me of The Cure doing an AC/DC cover."
The Promised End from Boston, MA might be described as misery soaked melodic hardcore. The music is aggressive with intent and melodic with purpose. It is urgently paced while deliberately shaped, retaining the jagged edges that define the hardcore/punk genre but molded by the hands of an experienced band. The sound is a love letter to the band's inspirations, an homage to 80’s Thrash, Early American Hardcore and Youth Crew. Expressions of personal grief, political frustration and a search for community in an age of isolation populate the vocals.
