Mugger "Luck Forever"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 198846152592
STREET DATE: 1/17/25
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.

Negative Blast "Echo Planet"

LP - $15.30
LP UPC: 196626754226
STREET DATE: 2/3/23
CAT#: QP012
LABEL: Quiet Panic

To tap into the present moment while simultaneously avoiding its pitfalls is no easy task, but on their debut LP Echo Planet, San Diego’s Negative Blast make it look easy. Engineered and mixed by the band’s own Alex Jacobelli at Sunsick Studios, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and releasing on Quiet Panic Records, Echo Planet is a fully realized, layered, and expertly crafted slab of hardcore punk that is both unconcerned with convention and deeply reverent of the genre’s roots.

The members’ musical pedigree runs the gamut from 2000s hardcore stalwarts Lewd Acts and Hour of the Wolf to innovative post-punk act [CON•TACT], with the recent addition of Mario Rubalcaba throwing Hot Snakes, Earthless, OFF!, and more into an already impressive list of bona fides. Boasting those qualifications, it’s no surprise that Negative Blast are as precise as they are left of center. With a knack for mid-tempo dirge that evokes My War-era Black Flag or Pissed Jeans and a darkly atmospheric melodic sensibility that calls to mind contemporary acts such as Gel, Negative Blast are at once of the moment and outside of it entirely. Where other bands might eschew melody, Negative Blast employ it as a foil to their naked aggression, resulting in a sonic push and pull that keeps every second of Echo Planet’s sub-20 minute runtime exciting and engaging.

Hardcore is a thing that is perpetually in motion against itself—Steeped in the tradition it seeks to uproot. In less capable hands, that duality can result in either a boring rehash or art for its own sake that loses the plot. But on Echo Planet, Negative Blast have masterfully shaped those contradictions into something that is as happy to make you think as it is to punch you in the teeth, and it excels equally at both.

TRACK LISTING:

Since the release the single ‘Drive’ and the subsequent debut EP ‘In Balance’ in Late 2021, Oversize have already have an impressive amount of live shows under their belt playing across the UK supporting the likes of Phoxjaw, Static Dress, Higher Power, Narrowhead, and Your Demise to name a few.
