Moodring sign to UNFD and re-issue “Showmetherealyou” EP

August 4, 2021

Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Moodring mark the latest brood to join the UNFD roster. An intriguing mix of alt-rock, shoegaze, grunge and nu-metal sensibilities, frontman Hunter Young describes how the band’s name acts effectively as a disclaimer for this group’s ethos. “Moodring is not easily defined; our sound can and will change, morph and evolve, even across the course of a single song.

Profiler drop video for their new single “Revert”

July 31, 2021

Rising UK alt metallers Profiler have just dropped a new video for “Revert”, the band’s second single following their signing to SharpTone Records earlier this year. In their own words: “‘Revert’ is a clarion call to all those that long to unplug from the daily barrage of technology and consumerism, and reconnect with themselves and the Earth beneath them: ‘This modern way of life has got me wired, so ask yourself… Why?’”. Profiler will also be performing at the ArcTanGent and 2000Trees collaboration 80Trees in their hometown of Bristol, UK this weekend.
