Casey return with new single “Great Grief”

December 6, 2022

Welsh post-hardcore-legends Casey return after a four year hiatus with their mind-blowing new single “Great Grief”, which is released via Hassle Records. Singer Tom Weaver on the song: “For the five of us it’s something special. It was the first piece of music we wrote collectively after deciding that we wanted to do this again, and it felt like an organic progression when it came together. Musically we wanted to maintain an anchor in the familiar, but challenge ourselves to produce a more mature and expansive sound. We put a lot of thought into the sound design, adding layers and harmonies – all things we’d not really put much effort into previously. Lyrically, the song talks about the realisation I came to after reflecting on our time as a band following our break-up. When we announced we were drawing Casey to a close, I’d tunnelled on the immediate personal impact of my writing, and how it felt like I was proliferating my pain by repeating it each night. But I’m in a much better place [Read More]

Armor For Sleep – new album “The Rain Museum” out NOW

September 11, 2022

It’s been 15 years since the last record from Armor For Sleep, but the band has remained a staple of many of their fans’ daily listening routine. Last Friday, the seminal post-hardcore act made their highly-anticipated return with “The Rain Museum”, a 12-song collection that is equal part beautiful and devastating. The band also shared their new single “New Rainbows”. About two months ago, the band released their first new song in 15 years. “How Far Apart” is an evocative anthem sure to leave fans feeling it in the pit of their stomach as lead singer, Ben Jorgensen, belts “you used to be my home, I found you in my bones” in the track’s immediately addictive chorus. “How Far Apart” is full of the emotive, hard-hitting drums and reverb-soaked guitars that were so pivotal to the success of “What To Do When You Are Dead”, but with the maturity, one would expect from an artist of Jorgensen’s caliber after years refining his craft. For the official video, which debuted alongside the song, Armor For Sleep [Read More]

Wolves At The Gate drop “Lights & Fire” video

January 24, 2022

Wolves At The Gate have announced their fifth album “Eulogies”. It arrives on March 11 via Solid State Records. The band has also shared the video for the new track “Lights & Fire”, a dynamic track, which boasts anthemic choruses and a cinematic and quiet mid-section that builds to an epic crescendo. “While all of these songs were quite personal for me, this one held a different weight, as it related to a number of the most painful parts of my life. It showed me how I was holding onto things that were actually destructive to me” shares vocalist/guitarist Steve Cobucci “It was the first time that I truly felt alone. I had to end a relationship that I put a lot of hope in. Soon afterward, I got robbed. My laptop, recording gear, guitars, amps — all gone. I didn’t have the money to replace things. Soon after, I tore my ACL and meniscus, which was a blow to my aspirations to play soccer for a living. All these things combined left me feeling [Read More]

Quicksand share new single “Inversion”

April 13, 2021

New York City post-hardcore band Quicksand have made their long-awaited return with the new single “Inversion.” The track follows the band’s successful album from 2017, ‘Interiors.’ Thoughtful, driving, and powerful, like the long-lived band itself, the song has an emotional resonance that is only amplified by the events of the past stressed-out, locked-down year. “The music to ‘Inversion’ was very squatter punk at first,” says frontman Walter Schreifels. “To get something going vocally I started singing in an English Niel Nausea kind of vibe (Nausea are a peace/squatter punk band form the Lower East Side of Manhattan). The lyrics reflect the push and pull of being very connected through technology while at the same time being the most emotionally isolated group of humans to ever walk the planet and fun stuff like that.” Today, the band has launched a colorful video with artwork by Japanese artist Tetsunori Tawaraya animated by Los Angeles-based artist Rob Fidel. Check it out! Formed in 1990, Quicksand made their full-length debut with Slip—a 1993 release praised by The A.V. Club [Read More]

NEW SONG: San Antonio post-hardcore band I Survived release energetic new track, Cityseeker

February 2, 2019

Check out the new track from San Antonio post hardcore band, I Survived! They are releasing a string of new singles and the first one up is the energetic track, Cityseeker. Lead vocalist Danny Fairchild explains about the new song, “Cityseeker”” is a song about the duality of life and how change creates it; realizing the things you once were in love with may not be what they seem, but in the same breath you realize you might not be the person you thought you were when you once loved them. Reflections can lie to you, but on the other hand, also show what lay inside you and the depth of one’s dreams and desires and whether or not they still speak to the person that you are today.” Check out the new track here: About I Survived: Formed in Texas in 2016, I Survived delivers a refreshingly honest brand of post-hardcore; a cynical but relatable look at the world today, packed in a hopeful and resonating wall of sound. With an irrefutable cohesion that carries [Read More]

VIDEO: Watch the new video from Attraction to Tragedy for their track, Slaughter Road

May 9, 2017

Post hardcore band Attraction To Tragedy have released their new music video for their track Slaughter Road. The song is off their 2016 full length album Passion Over Fashion. Singer/Guitarist Jaiden Shay comments about the song, I was in Alabama for my cousin’s wedding and I heard the gps say “Slaughter Road” and immediately I came up with the chorus in my head. It just clicked. Since we started playing it we haven’t played a show without this song. Because of its more punk vibe if really translates well live. So with the video we really wanted to give a look at what our shows are like and I think we accomplished that.
