After coming down from the high of two sold out reunion shows in Brooklyn and on Long Island, post-punk outfit THE SLEEPING has announced their first new album in nearly 13 years featuring their original lineup that hasn’t written together in over 16 years. I Feel Like I’m Becoming A Ghost is due out on July 28th and is now available for preorder via Kickstarter. Rare items and limited edition bundles are available as well.
The Bollweevils formed in Chicago back in 1989 and have released music with Dr. Strange, Hopeless, Underdog Records, and more. Fast forward to the present: we released a teaser single when the ‘Weevils were asked to play a recent Riot Fest, and now it’s time for the main course, the big kahuna, the whole hog… the full length! It’s been 14 years since their last album, so they’ve spent ages putting together their best new material. It was tracked in their hometown, but we sent it out to The Blasting Room (Descendents, Propagandhi, etc.) to be mixed, because we knew we had hit$ on our hands!
Heart Attack Man write the soundtrack to “figuring it out.” Rife with intricate riffs, gleefully catchy choruses, robust rhythms, and a whole lot of outcast charm, the Cleveland band—Eric Egan [vocals, guitar], Adam Paduch [drums], and Ty Sickels [guitar]—turn all the awkwardness of growing up into undeniable and unpredictable anthems, teetering on an axis of punk, rock, and pop.
Lavasocks Records and Sell The Heart Records are co-releasing a 33-track,
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.
