Fange "Perdition"

LP - $17.50 / CD - $8.00
STREET DATE: 3/1/24
CAT#: THRT091
LABEL: Throatruiner

France's FANGE has navigated through their most active year yet defending "Privation", engaging in two European tours and making multiple appearances at festivals throughout 2023. Far from dampening their creative fire, the band was in parallel writing "Perdition" -- six new tracks and a creeping cover of Bernard Lavilliers. The entire recording and production process was executed by the band, with mixing and mastering duties once again handled by Cyrille Gachet and Alan Douches.

Conceived as a spiritual successor to 2020's machine-driven "Poigne", "Perdition" expands upon the concept of a less riff-focused release while also embracing the cleaner, more desolate atmosphere explored on "Privation". Built and refined during the summer of 2023 upon foundations made of mutilated death industrial loops and grievous melodic guitars, the album serves as a testament to the band's distinctive identity, placing emphasis on the gloom and the martial -- spleen and discipline.

  1. Césarienne Au Noir
  2. Mauvais Vivant
  3. Toute Honte Bue

N8NOFACE and Planet B con .MS.BOAN "N8NOFACE and Planet B con .MS.BOAN"

7"EP - $6.50
STREET DATE: 3/1/24
CAT#: 31G141
LABEL: Three One G

N8NOFACE has been described as a Chicano Flannery O'Connor playing chiptune Ministry, the Sleaford Mods of the American Southwest, Suicide for the 21st Century and Ghostmane meets darkwave synthpunk dashed with early Ween's glue-huffing pop. Lyrically, his sometimes romantic, oftentimes violent storytelling tunes lean toward Narcocorrido, the bloody ballads of Mexican drug cartels. It sounds dark on the surface, but really N8NOFACE's music is a lot of fun, and as exciting and cathartic as the birth of punk rock and hiphop.

Sharing the split is Planet B, which is Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, Deaf Club, The Locust), Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera), Kevin Avery (Field Day, Retox) and Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing). The band was formed with the shared purpose of creating music subversive in sound and sobering in message. Their music is rooted in hip hop, hardcore punk, turntablism, and 70s-80s horror movie scores. For this release, Planet B teams up with Ms.BOAN (Medio Mutante, //TENSE//), the moody, mysterious & experimental, visionary synth-pop legend Mariana A Saldaña, who brings to the collaboration, the stormy emotions of coldwave, the ecstatic energy of EBM, and influences absorbed through her Mexican-American heritage. Serving up intense dance-pop, Ms.BOAN performs with a dramatic, emotional spirit.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Torture - N8NOFACE
  2. Makes Me Wanna Scream - N8NOFACE
  3. Punk As Fuck - N8NOFACE
  4. Connective Tissue - Planet B feat. Ms.BOAN
  5. Cumbia Mundial (Sonido de la Frontera cover) - Planet B feat. Ms.BOAN

MARKETING POINTS:

  • Planet B features Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, Deaf Club, The Locust), Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera), Kevin Avery (Field Day, Retox) and Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing)

Graduation Speech "Arcane Feelings"

LP - $13.35
STREET DATE: 3/1/24
CAT#: PRO-094
LABEL: Protagonist Music

As musicians change, so does their music. It's an unavoidable truth that some fans hold against their favorite artists, but an artist's evolution also yields some of their most powerful music. Case in point: New Jersey's Graduation Speech was conceived when Kevin Day sought a quieter creative outlet separate from his band Aspiga. Though the intimate acoustic project differed dramatically from Aspiga's brand of blown-speaker pop-punk, it opened new doors for Day as a songwriter. Now, after six years of releases, Graduation Speech is ready with Arcane Feelings, an EP that noticeably features six full-band songs, building on 2021's Maintenance Required. On that EP, Day called on friends to add guitars, drums, keys, and percussion, showing what Graduation Speech could look like with more rhythm and layers. Where previous Graduation Speech releases were quiet, personal -- perfect for an acoustic house show living room -- the songs on Arcane Feelings are written for a small stage in the back of a bar, the crowd knocking shoulders, nodding to the beat as they nurse their beers. That's in no small part due to the addition of Billy Bollinger, Brandon Iacometta (both of Crucial Dudes), and Pat Pie rounding out this new lineup. It's different from what fans might initially expect, whether in the quieter moments which now seem to pack more weight, or in the resounding guitars and choirs of vocals, but the added instrumentation and layers transform these songs into something powerful in an entirely new way.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. No Confidence
  2. Henry
  3. 09-12-20
  4. Break The Curse
  5. Get Lost
  6. Follow

MARKETING POINTS:

Unsufferable "Unsufferable"

7"EP - $7.00
STREET DATE: 3/1/24
CAT#: IOD-55
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Formed in early 2023, Unsufferable features Robert Fish (108, Ressurection, The Judas Factor, etc.), Dave Buschemeyer (Omen Astra, New Day Rising, Spread the Disease, etc.), and Ryan McInturff (The Fault of Man, Bloodjinn, etc.). Loud, heavy, and unrelenting; Unsufferable creates a soundtrack for the collision of one's aspiration for a free and loving world against the reality of a world seemingly determined to destroy itself and any sense of humanity and compassion that remains.

In the spring of 2023, Unsufferable recorded a 2-song self-titled ep. Enemy of the State offers an unapologetic challenge to those who seek to mandate what a woman can and cannot do with her body. "Picking rights off, one by one, it's easy to feel free until you're the one." stands as a reminder that the assault on a woman's right to choose is but the beginning. The second song, Revisionist, makes the case that, as a society, we cannot heal or prosper until we acknowledge and learn from our blood-soaked history.

Unsufferable recently partnered with Iodine Recordings to release their self-titled EP followed by an LP, which will be recorded over the coming months and released in 2024.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Enemy of the State
  2. Revisionist

MARKETING POINTS:
