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.

Gatherers "Massalette/Sick, Sad Heart"

7" EP - $7.00
LP UPC: 724399772705
STREET DATE: 11/22/24
CAT#: IOD-X02
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Brazen in their delivery of raw expression and brutally honest, Gatherers have never been a band that shy away from exposing weakness and vulnerability in their music and in their unbridled lyricism that has always driven the band's emotional core.

Combined with the ever-impressive songwriting ability that successfully blends hard-hitting melodic hardcore with rock elements and ethereal richly textured atmosphere, Gatherers developed a unique identity for themselves within the scene.

Gatherers still brings to their new EP much a part of this melodic hardcore style that they always did so well, but beyond that, now with a far more deep and cohesive musical experience. Whole though maintaining their familiar abrasive edge, a distinct boost in personal and artistic confidence elevates this effort far above its predecessor, resulting in an extremely emotional experience from beginning to end. Aching and explosives vocals, sad dual guitar parts, stronger production, and a unique song structure contributing much more variety as a result, a constantly surprising and unrelenting in remarkable emotional outpour.

"NJ post-hardcore band Gatherers really swing for the fences on this one. It recalls Deftones and Glassjaw and it’s got the perfect mix of big hooks, harsh aggression, and crystal-clear production needed to really deliver on what Gatherers are going for.” - Brooklyn Vegan

01. Massalette

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)
