"Right around the completion of 'Relapses,' Jimmy (Watson, drums) & Drew (Slavik, guitar) had the idea of doing a collaborative split, which ultimately became an amalgamation of musical chairs and a social experiment. After several months of hurdles preventing anything from really taking off, we finally sorted out the exact details of the project & resolved to collaborate with our colleagues and friends in Meth.

Our guidelines were as follows: Each band would write & record three songs, & then share only the drum tracks with the other band. Each band would then write new music and lyrics over the exchanged tracks. Neither band would hear anything from the other until everything was complete to ensure one couldn't influence the other. In the end, we were astonished at what we had all accomplished. We’re thrilled & proud to present, 'ASYMMETRICS'." - See You Next Tuesday

Grief Ritual "Collapse"

LP - $19.40 / CD - $9.60
STREET DATE: 1/31/25
CAT#: CRR230
LABEL: Church Road

GRIEF RITUAL are more miserable and even heavier than their name might suggest. Their punishing brand of metalcore twisting blackened metallic hardcore, and the crushing, slower sides of black and death metal to their extremities.

On debut album Collapse, the anger, frustration, and disenfranchisement they feel about the UK and wider world are laid bare. Human extinction, capitalism, genocide, ecocide, and the rise of populist right authoritarianism are explored in garish detail across ten tracks. Also put under the microscope are sociopolitical issues such as austerity, racism, misogyny, wealth inequality, gentrification, and eroding human rights, as first written about on their critically acclaimed debut EP Spiritual Disease.

Collapse has riffs, beats, and breakdowns that obliterate, and a bass tone fit to tear down the establishment. While dualling vocals from a wide spectrum of extreme metal, and the most sinister and punishing of matte black death metal, bustle to take centre stage across eleven tracks of despotic terror. Collapse was self-recorded, and mixed by the band, alongside Jake Murray (Ill Vision), at Just Noise Audio. With mastering provided by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

Collapse is the follow-up to self-released debut EP Spiritual Disease, which featured in Kerrang, Knotfest, Rock Sound, and, Metal Hammer, being shortlisted for their Album of the Year 2022, who said "Spiritual Disease screams its frustrations with the modern world through a loudspeaker of death metal and hardcore. The bludgeoning breakdowns are interspersed with Entombed-esque tremolo picking and low, guttural roars... (they) rage against the machine louder and more heavily than 99% of their genre peers."

The five-track EP, containing singles "Dissolution", "Telluric", and "Immurement", is twenty-minutes of grim, paralysing, cathartic, angry emotion, reminiscent of END, Harms Way, Nails, and early Napalm Death, and was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Joe Clayton (Pijn, Leeched, Curse These Metal Hands) at No Studio.

Such a thoughtful, driven, and honest approach has already led to the young band catching the attention of many, with festival appearances at Bloodstock, 2000 Trees, ArcTanGent, 80Trees, and Tech Fest. GRIEF RITUAL have also supported Knocked Loose, Terror, Gatecreeper, END, Fuming Mouth, Heriot, Wiegedood, Ithaca, Inter Arma, and Pupil Slicer, during this busy period, and they passed the one-hundred-show marker in early 2024.

CAT#: QP016
LABEL: Quiet Panic

Mugger has quickly made a name for themselves as a standout in the musically rich city of Austin, Texas. With members from Creepoid, Radioactivity and The Well, they garnered attention for their ability to blend influences in their punk hardcore sound. In 2022, they released their demo cassette, a limited edition of 200 which quickly sold out. Since then they have played with notable acts such as Scowl, End It, Show Me the Body, Circle Jerks and Gel. They recently finished an east Coast tour with Negative Approach, which ended at This is Hardcore. Their first 7", "Get a Clue" was released in 2024 via Quiet Panic. The first pressing of this hand cut lathe sold out so quickly that a second edition was immediately pressed. "Get a Clue" touches on ideas of power, and the inherent imbalance that often accompanies it. This theme runs through the entirety of their catalog, along with their ethos of making room for everybody. "Mugger is for everyone," says singer Anna Troxell.

Haunted Horses "Dweller"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 1/10/25
CAT#: 31G145
LABEL: Three One G

Haunted Horses is an industrial-punk trio hailing from Seattle, WA. The band has a reputation for a relentless and chaotic sound that pushes the boundaries of post-punk and noise rock. Formed by Colin Dawson and Myke Pelly, the band’s sonic intensity was further amplified with the addition of bassist Brian McClelland in 2022. Their music is characterized by its dissonant, heavy textures and ominous vocals, drawing comparisons to influential acts like Swans, Bauhaus, and Killing Joke. Their debut album, Watcher, showcased their ability to craft a visceral, noise-driven experience, earning them accolades from critics such as Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop. Building on this momentum, their follow-up, Dead Meat, and their 2022 release, The Worst Has Finally Happened, continued to explore dark and experimental themes, solidifying their reputation in the industrial rock scene. These albums were noted for their complex soundscapes and thematic depth.

With DWELLER, set to expand their exploration of existential dread and transformation, Haunted Horses is poised to further evolve their sound. The album is a spiritual successor to their previous work, delving into intense, unsettling themes with renewed vigor: the fear and anxiety tied to the obliteration of one's self or identity, and the unknown outcome of this dissolution. The concepts came through a series of meditations, some of which didn’t make sense until the process was complete. Known for their captivating live performances and extensive touring history, Haunted Horses continues to captivate audiences and challenge the conventions of their genre with this release.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Dweller on the Threshold
02. The Spell

Piebald "We Are The Only Friends We Have"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 724399772576
STREET DATE: 01/03/25
CAT#: IOD-67
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Now on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years, Piebald’s “We Are The Only Friends We Have” has earned its place as one of the most notable and iconic emo albums of the era. Completely remastered for vinyl by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Quicksand). Completely reconstructed artwork created from negatives of the original photo shoot, and includes a retrospective essay written by the band. Originally produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr).

If you were to look up the word "piebald" in the dictionary, you’d learn that it means “having irregular patches of two colors, typically black and white.” But if you were to ask any of their loyal fans, they’d probably refer to “Piebald” as one of their favorite bands of all time—a hard-to-describe, genre-less, energetic four-piece known for their raw, matter-of-fact lyrics, infectious hooks, fun live shows, and their penchant for doing everything on their own terms. And this year, Piebald turns 30!

Piebald was founded in Andover, Massachusetts, in 1994 by Travis Shettel (vocals/guitar/keys) and Aaron Stuart (guitar/vocals). Through Andover High School friends and siblings, Jon Sullivan (drums) and Andrew Bonner (bass) were added to complete the original lineup. In a time before cell phones, Spotify, or even Napster, Piebald became an integral part of the same indie, post-hardcore music scene of the Merrimack Valley that birthed musical monsters Cave-In and Converge.

On February 19, 2002, Piebald released their critically acclaimed third album, We Are the Only Friends We Have. Now joined by Luke Garro on drums, the band embarked on the most thrilling stage of their career. National radio airplay of singles “American Hearts” and “Just a Simple Plan” and tours with the likes of Minus the Bear, Glassjaw, Hey Mercedes, RX Bandits, Saves the Day, and New Found Glory led to more mainstream success and helped birth a cult following.

Piebald became recognized as “one of the most dependably fun bands of the late '90s/early '00s emo touring circuit,” and “kings of sing-alongs,” led by Shettel, who “crafted lyrics that could weave between intensely autobiographical, sociopolitical, and sarcastic.”

The band initially called it quits in 2008 but reformed in 2016 to celebrate the digital re-release of their catalog, and they haven’t looked back. Since their reformation, Piebald has toured with Dashboard Confessional, The Movielife, and Weakened Friends, reinstated their annual holiday shows, and graced the stages of festivals such as Boston Calling, Riot Fest, Furnace Fest, and Wrecking Ball.

Now, Piebald has teamed up with Iodine Recordings to remaster, repackage, and re-release their long out-of-print catalog, and there has even been talk of new music. The impact of Piebald on the alternative music scene is undeniable, and their legacy continues to inspire a new generation of musicians and fans. A toast to 30 years of Piebald!

CAT#: NMZ077v
LABEL: New Morality Zine

"No Angels" is the debut LP from Chicago South Side hardcore up-and-comers SI DIOS QUIERE. Originally formed in 2020 by guitarist Christian Guajardo and drummer Ricardo Velazquez, SI DIOS QUIERE solidified its lineup in late 2022 when Ozzy Jimenez took over vocal duties. With guitarist Roberto Velazquez and bassist Louie Flores rounding out the band, they released a two-song promo in summer 2023 that showcased a more defined sound compared to their earlier work. The band has been working hard to build a strong presence in their local scene and is now poised for a national breakout.

"No Angels" showcases the band's tough-as-nails approach to songwriting, blending raw aggression with a strong sense of pride and community. Drawing inspiration from bands like MADBALL and ROTTING OUT, with hints of death metal and hip hop, SI DIOS QUIERE delivers a fierce mix of heavy rhythms and a gritty, powerful delivery.

Fake Eyes "Saccharine Scream"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 12/13/24
CAT#: SDR-130
LABEL: Sunday Drive

"Saccharine Scream" is an LP that almost didn't see the light of day. Written and recorded around 2020--2021, it features some of Fake Eyes' best songs to date. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the record was temporarily shelved until early 2024, when the band revisited it with renewed determination to release it and return to performing and writing.

Throughout the ten tracks, Paul Vuksanovich, Grey Peters, Alexa Finley, and Stephanie Wesner craft a cohesive and dynamic record. Vocally, Paul is in top form. The mix showcases vocals more prominently than any previous Fake Eyes EP, with Paul delivering rhythmic hooks on nearly every song, complemented by thoughtful, often poetic lyrics.

Sonically, Fake Eyes build upon the foundation established in their earlier records--drawing inspiration from bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Hum--while achieving a more layered, expansive sound. This evolution is particularly evident on standout tracks like "Butterfly Boy" and "Never Speak."

The album closes with "An Astronaut Song," an atmospheric piece with a hint of twang. It's a distinctive finale that the band executes masterfully, rounding off the record in an unexpected yet fitting manner.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Understated
02. Saccharine Scream

Kowloon Walled City "Gambling on the Richter Scale"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: December 13, 2024
CAT#: VIS020
LABEL: Persistent Vision

In the world of heavy music, few bands embrace dynamics and negative space like Oakland, CA’s Kowloon Walled City. Since forming 17 years ago, the band has increasingly refined its deconstructed approach to noise rock, math rock, and sludge.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, Persistent Vision is proud to present a much needed reissue of Kowloon Walled City’s first album, "Gambling on the Richter Scale". Initially released in 2009, the album laid the groundwork for a series of subsequent albums over the years including Container Ships, Grievances, and Piecework, released via labels such as Neurot Recordings, Gilead Media, and Brutal Panda Records.

This early album is a snapshot of the band’s sound in a much dirtier, noisier, sludgier environment. Kowloon Walled City have always been a band focused on tone and atmosphere with their unique style of heaviness, and the very intentional grit on this album shows another face to a band that has grown to embrace a cleaner, overdriven sound in recent years.

Gambling on the Richter Scale was recorded and mixed by guitarist/vocalist Scott Evans, whose engineering work includes Sumac, Great Falls, Old Man Gloom, and many others. The record comes packaged in a full color matte finish jacket with two color vinyl variants, Ice Blue & Black Galaxy and Violet & Black Galaxy, each limited to 150 copies.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Annandale
02. Diabetic Feet
03. Clockwork

CAT#: CRR234
LABEL: Church Road

While still utilising a dreamlike and heavy mixture of black-metal, post-metal and shoegaze, Underdark's debut album also packs a renewed punch alongside a ferocity and intensity matched only by the innovative and engaging song structures.

Recorded & mixed with Misha Herring at Holy Mountain Studio (40 Watt Sun, Inhuman Nature, Idles, Spiritualised, Puppy) & mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering (Emma Ruth Rundle, Southern Lord Records, Power Trip, Mizmor), the album captures five tracks of intense & emotional progressive compositions, not limited by genre to create a tidal wave of sound; that shift in emotions, drowning you between sections of crushing blast beats and ear splitting vocals to blissful, atmospheric soundscapes that engulf you within them.

Lyrically the album covers personal issues such as addiction & psychosis, to inhumane border control & the shameless exploitation of the lower classes at the hands of landlords.

The band comment, 'despite numerous setbacks, pandemic related and otherwise, we're honoured to be working with some of the finest independent labels in their respective regions to realise a vision many years in the making. Our Bodies Burned Bright On Re-entry is the sum of our efforts in that time, we put everything we have into this record.'

The Arrival Note "Home Is So Far From Here"

LP - $17.50
STREET DATE: 12/6/24
CAT#: SDR-126
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Tampa, Florida's music scene is flourishing with new bands and packed local shows. Armageddon Records is at the forefront, releasing music and booking shows for touring and local acts alike. Josh Howell, who runs Armageddon, has also been leading The Arrival Note for the past couple of years. The band now presents their debut LP.

Since 2023, The Arrival Note has solidified their lineup with D'Angelo Casanas (Sugar Coat), Kyle Weidner, and Bayly Branson (Contention, Dogmatic). The group first appeared on last year's split 7" with Painful Choice and Sugar Coat, which hinted at their post-hardcore and emo blend.

On "…Home Is So Far From Here," the band refines this sound, creating something unique that draws from decades of genre influences. The opener and "Astronaut" feature heavier riffs reminiscent of Shift or Jawbreaker, while "Loveletter (For You)" and the outro "Chasing Powerlines" slow down with a softer sound, echoing bands like Mineral or Penfold.

The Arrival Note also collaborates on a few songs featuring friends from their local scene. Justin Ramone of Glazed and Travis Lowe of Postdrome contribute vocals on several tracks, while Howell's wife, Jaden, harmonizes on "Loveletter."

In 2024, The Arrival Note crafts post-hardcore/emo-inspired songs that honor the genre's roots without rehashing old sounds. "…Home Is So Far From Here" is contemporary and dynamic, offering an intriguing perspective on the genre's evolution and The Arrival Note's future direction.

Secret World "Guilt Is Good"

7"EP - $8.00
STREET DATE: 12/6/24
CAT#: SDR-129
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Secret World is a group of friends from Sydney, Australia. With members who've played in bands like Speed, Trophy Eyes, and Downside, Secret World formed to scratch the itch for more melodic punk music. Their initial demo, released in 2023 on Last Ride Records, offered a taste of their heavy melodies and abrasive riffs and vocals. In 2024, Secret World is releasing their debut EP "Guilt Is Good" on Last Ride Records, with Sunday Drive Records in America.

Producer Fletcher Matthews joins new members James Watroba, Adrian Kelly, and Dennis Vichidvongsa to expand on the demo's sound, crafting bigger hooks perfect for singing along and piling on. The lead singles "Living Less" and "The Way It Goes" showcase this evolution, with the latter accompanied by a music video capturing the group in their hometown. "On Show" and "Silhouette" offer a heavier, darker mid-tempo sound. Though concise at four tracks, Secret World creates a dynamic EP, building on post-hardcore sounds reminiscent of Seaweed, Fugazi, and Quicksand, while adding their own alternative rock 'n' roll flair.

Lockslip "Lockslip"

12" EP - $14.65
STREET DATE: November 29, 2024
CAT#: PRO-104
LABEL: Protagonist Music

Lockslip is the crushing self-titled debut EP from the Los Angeles metallic hardcore outfit. Forming in late 2022 and self-producing/self-releasing the EP in January 2024, the band turned heads quickly with this 14-minute display of chaos. With punishing breakdowns that any hardcore fan would enjoy, as well as plenty of complex mathy bits, this feels less like the debut release of a brand-new band, and more like an intentional and polished group looking ahead to the future. These 4 songs tell the story of being fed up with the status quo, and of expressing a deep inner turmoil through feedback-laden anguish. The EP was produced and mixed by drummer Noah Baxter at Dichotic Studios, mastered digitally by Brian Skipworth at Skipwave Sound, and remastered for vinyl by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering.

Featuring members of notable acts such as Entry, Auteur, Mom and the Mailman, and Decoybody. Pressed on 1-sided 12-inch vinyl with a screen-printed design on the B-side. Cover and screen-print artwork by James Hutton. Band logo art by Preston Weippert.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Guillotine Blueprint
02. Bend
03. Evildoer
04. Payment

MARKETING POINTS:

• Members of Entry, Auteur, Mom and the Mailman, and Decoybody.

Hidden Mothers "Erosion / Avulsion"

LP - $19.40 / CD - $9.60
STREET DATE: 11/29/24
CAT#: CRR220
LABEL: Church Road

Hidden Mothers is a progressive post-hardcore band from Sheffield, UK. Despite so far only releasing a single (2019's 'The Longest Journey Yet') and a three-track self-titled EP in 2020, Hidden Mothers have generated quite a reputation in the UK music scene, with sold out headline shows across the UK.

Their long awaited debut album 'Erosion/Avulsion' is a record that features all the blast beats, driving riffs and impassioned screaming that Hidden Mothers have come to be known for, but is also drenched in atmosphere, haunting melody, and delicate emotion, thanks in no small part to Luke Scrivens' potent lyricism and his Jeff Buckley-esque singing voice. It may have taken a while to get here, but Hidden Mothers 2.0 will not disappoint.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Defanged
02. Death Curl
03. Still Sickness
04. Caton Green
05. The Grey
06. Grandfather
07. Violet Sun
08. Haze

STREET DATE: 11/22/24
CAT#: IOD-01 LABEL: Iodine Recordings

State Faults is a post-hardcore band from Northern California. Formed in early 2010, the group immediately began writing and recording music for what would become their debut EP, Head In The Clouds. The EP quickly spread through word of mouth and the band began to cultivate a devoted following.

In April of 2012 State Faults signed to North Carolina based indie label Tiny Engines and released their first full length record Desolate Peaks. After touring on the strength of the LP for the better part of a year, the band began preparing new material for their follow up record. They were picked up by No Sleep Records in 2013 and immediately entered the studio with bay area producer Jack Shirley to work on their sophomore LP Resonate/Desperate which they would release following their first full U.S. tour.

Two years after touring on the success of Resonate/Desperate with bands including The Saddest Landscape, State Faults entered a hiatus in 2015. Over the next four years, they would begin quietly compiling music for their third record. In January of 2019 the band returned to The Atomic Garden Studios with producer Jack Shirley and completed work on this their third LP, Clairvoyant.

Mad Honey "DISCORDIA"

CD - $8.75
STREET DATE: 11/22/24
CAT#: DW263
LABEL: Deathwish Inc. / Sunday Drive

Last September, Oklahoma City rock band Mad Honey released their debut record Satellite Aphrodite. In celebration of its one year anniversary, they’re announcing a full-length reimagined album, DISCORDIA.

More often than not, the reworked songs sound like a broken cassette recording of a dream rock group being run through a washing machine, a mangled mess of distorted guitars, crunchy drums and hyper-pop synths laden with fuzz.

“The goal of this project was to make something so far removed from the original recordings,” says Bramlett. “I was really frustrated with all the shit going on in our world right now. The planet is dying, people keep killing each other, and I just wanted to get all that aggression out with the music and make something as crazy as our world feels. The songs were almost entirely recorded within a week’s time, just raw and live spur of the moment takes to really capture that feeling.”

The result is 11 tracks that span a variety of genres. Everything from the fast paced punk tinged “Headspin” and “fuckurself” to the hyper-pop ballads “red room” “when it all goes wrong” and “psych!!” While songs like “SATAPH” “TLS” and “k (the temple of my body” provide ambient hopeful soundscapes, hook heavy tracks like “EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED,” “u” and “HEAVY” showcase the catchy pop melodies of Mad Honey.

TRACK LISTING:
01. SATAPH
02. fuckurself
03. when it all goes wrong
04. red room
05. u
06. EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED
07. psych!!
08. Headspin
09. HEAVY
10. TLS
11. k (the temple of my body)

• Reimagined tracks from their debut album "Satellite Aphrodite"
• CD is limited to 300 copies
