Feverchild "Altering a Memory"

Feverchild "Altering a Memory"

LP - $16.60
STREET DATE: 11/3/23
CAT#: SDR104
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Feverchild seemed to have mastered their sound of late 90's post-hardcore/emo on their latest and most thorough release yet, "Altering a Memory". Following a self-titled EP and two-song single (the latter appearing on this album) in addition to their first tour, the band is at their strongest yet. "Altering a Memory" is primarily driven by melody--something the band has always incorporated, but now more attentive to. The intro track and "Eva" show the band stripping away some of the abrasiveness of their sound, and pull back to incorporate more quiet and atmospheric elements; ultimately creating a more diverse album where both the quiet and louder moments are more noticeable. "Altering a Memory" may be a stepping stone--not just for Feverchild--but perhaps for a new wave of emo to come.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Intro
2. City of Flowers
3. Altering a Memory

Lowest Creature "Witch Supreme"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $10.70
STREET DATE: 10/27/23
CAT#: ISO038
LABEL: Isolation Rec

Lowest Creature is back with their new album 'Witch Supreme'. Raised from the roots of their thrashy and neck-snapping debut album 'Sacrilegious Pain' the new album has a darker and more dismal sound of their own special brand of swedish metal.

They use their finely crafted songwriting together with their lyrical content to portray an unforgiving world full of darkness, sheer terror and uncanny environments. Since their release of 'Sacrilegious Pain' (Isolation Records, 2019), the band have sold out several physical releases of that album and have made their presence known by touring across Europe and the UK together with bands like Darkest Hour, Leeway and Cro-Mags.

Now following up to their highly acclaimed debut album, the band are hitting out with their second full length, 'Witch Supreme' which will be released October 27th 2023 via Isolation Records. Lowest Creature have once again delivered a monster of an album in their effort to stand tall in their dark and cold home in Scandinavia, which so clearly influences their sound and lyrics - the dark and cold winters tearing through their axes like a knife to the bone and the old nordic mysteries portrayed in songs such as 'Under The Night Sky' and 'Conjuring Demons'' leaving you in a state of petrification.

Recorded at Ljudkross Studio in Umeå, Sweden, the sound master Erik Lindberg and Lowest Creature took things to the next level. Mastered once again by Joel Grind from Toxic Holocaust (Sunn O))), Integrity, Mammoth Grinder, Midnight & more) in Oregon, USA, this album is a metal masterclass that has truly unified the sound.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Boondock's Tomb
2. Under The Night Sky
3. Into The Dark
4. Conjuring Demons
5. Witch Supreme
6. Warg
7. Illusions
8. Rough Riders
9. Hymns Of Death
10. Beyond The Grave

MARKETING POINTS:

• Highly acclaimed follow up to 2019 debut "Sacrilegious Pain"
• Mastered by Joel Grind
• Toured with Darkest Hour, Leeway, Cro-Mags
• “It's all about the Power of the Almighty Guitar Riff in this sonic space, and Lowest Creature are clearly master students of this principle.” - quote courtesy of NoEcho.net

Garrison "A Mile in Cold Water"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 724399772187
STREET DATE: 10/27/23
CAT#: IOD-34
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Garrison was born in Boston during the heyday of the prolific late '90s post-hardcore scene. Their cohort featured heavy hitters like Piebald, Cave In and Converge. Following in the footsteps of bands like Quicksand, Drive Like Jehu, and Texas is the Reason, Garrison drew from many influences to create a hyper-melodic sound that ranged from hardcore to emo, all without fitting neatly into any genre. They executed a complex and unique sound, seamlessly combining technical guitar riffs, melodic vocals, and heavy breakdowns in a way that few bands were able to achieve.

Garrison toured relentlessly, playing regularly alongside iconic bands of the era such as The Get Up Kids, Hot Water Music, Taking Back Sunday, and New Found Glory. Shortly after forming, the band found themselves signed to Revelation Records where they released their first debut LP "A Mile in Cold Water." The LP was well received among fans and critics and made a place for itself as a notable release for the post-hardcore movement. The album opens with "After the Fight," which immediately hooks you with its melody, fast tempo, and emotional breakdowns, highlighting the band's hardcore roots and complex style. The LP rises with heavier post-hardcore moments such as "The Dumbest Angel" and falls with several softer emo ballads, most notably on the somber closer "Favorite Goodbye Fuck."

Though Garrison went on to release numerous albums on Revelation Records and Iodine Recordings, "A Mile in Cold Water" remained their most significant and important release. While Garrison never broke in the same way that many of their peers did, this record clearly paved the way forward for many bands that followed in the post-hardcore and emo scenes.

Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studio in 2001, Ballou returned in 2023 to completely remix the album to really make these songs shine the way they always intended to sound. Remastered by Jack Shirley (Quicksand, Joyce Manor) at The Atomic Garden. The album is being presented in a special gatefold jacket and features elements of the original art, and new artwork from Dan McCarthy.

END "The Sin of Human Frailty"

LP - $18.15 / CD - $7.50
LP UPC: 197189533266
CD UPC: 197189556647
STREET DATE: 10/27/23
CAT#: CLCR124
LABEL: Closed Casket Activities

There will always be another peak to summit and boundary to break. END stretch their second full-length offering, The Sin of Human Frailty, beyond its very limits with a fierce commitment to unwavering unpredictability and uncompromising intensity. The New Jersey quintet counts producer and guitarist Will Putney, vocalist Brendan Murphy, guitarist Gregory Thomas, bassist Jay Pepito, and drummer Matt Guglielmo among its ranks. These musicians deliver a concentrated barrage like no other on, The Sin of Human Frailty [Closed Casket Activities].

END initially materialized during 2017. The group's From the Unforgiving Arms of God EP spawned the fan favorite "Necessary Death," and lead to a signing with label Closed Casket Activities. Highlighted by "Covet Not" and "Absence," the band bulldozed the senses with their 2020 full-length debut, Splinters From an Ever-Changing Face. Brooklyn Vegan hailed "Pariah" as "an absolutely filthy dose of modern metalcore," and Kerrang went as far as to describe their Debut LP as, "catharsis fed through a distortion pedal and shaped into a dense, destructive wrecking ball" Perhaps, Invisible Oranges put it best, "These gentlemen have come together to summon a fury seldom heard on any album from the realms of hardcore, grind, and black metal…"

In 2023, the members congregated once again to write and recorded what would become this sophomore release. "Part of the goal was to do things our way," states guitarist Will Purney. "We didn't want to lean on our influences too heavily, whether it's in terms of production, guitar tone, arrangement, or other elements. We were like, 'Let's just make a record that sounds like END'. I feel like there's more of an identity to the band than there has ever been on this record." The final result is a unique blend of HM2 driven Grind and Metallic Hardcore cross over with moments of Industrial chaos over ten tracks. Featuring guest vocal appearances by J.R. Hayes (Pig Destroyer), Debbie Gough (Heriot) and Dylan Walker (Full of Hell), this Graphic Nature Audio recording clocks in over 30 minutes of unhinged aggression and grind.

Produced and engineered by Will Putney and featuring the art of Alex Eckman-Lawn, this release pushes the complexity of END both sonically and visually. Vinyl comes packaged in a ten panel die-cut jacket, pressed on deluxe colored vinyl and with a digital download code.

1. A Predator Yourself

CAT#: IOD-40
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Self-Made Mess is the debut album from Boston's indie rock/emo band Six Going On Seven. Out of print for over 25 years, this highly influential album helped define a genre that bridged the gap between hardcore influenced emo and indie-rock, with its complex bass and guitar harmonies and sincere vocals. Often referred to as a "band's band", Six Going on Seven came up alongside many of the household names we still discuss from the era: Jimmy Eat World, Hot Water Music, The Get Up Kids, sharing the stage with them and many others. Originally released on Some Records in 1997 and produced by Brian McTernan at Salad Days Studio, it is being presented on a limited-edition vinyl pressing with all new artwork and remastered by Jack Shirley (Quicksand, Joyce Manor) at The Atomic Garden.

The Suffering "Our Fathers Turn In Their Graves"

LP - $13.35
STREET DATE: 10/27/23
CAT#: PRO-088
LABEL: Protagonist Music

Delivering a thundering metal onslaught with a sturdy hardcore spine, The Suffering live up to their dour name on a debut album of unbridled aggression. Members of the band are hardly strangers to playing abrasive music with scene veterans from notable bands such as Bleeding Through, Light This City, Mean Season, First Blood, etc. And all respect to the past, of course, but when The Suffering divert somewhat from former paths, opting instead for a noisier, bleaker, and more earache inducing brand of metal, it definitely stands on its own throat-punching merits. Their insistence on a non-stop attack, along with a pointed lyrical approach can really only be described as utterly relentless, combining break-neck speed and jarring breakdowns into an all-out musical tempest. Add to that the searing guest vocal spot on "Preach" from Aaron Weseman of Disembodied fame, and the deed is certainly done. File under uneasy listening.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Reflection

The Iron Roses "The Iron Roses"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 724399772316
STREET DATE: 10/20/23
CAT#: IOD-45
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

The Iron Roses are a passionate, unique, and beautiful group of people making music that we hope will change the world. Fueled by the injustices of our current times - their songs are the kind of protest anthems that only a group of seasoned musicians could make. Still angry, still driven, and still screaming -- this is a band that will never give up the fight.

It takes serious talent to write and sing songs that sound angry while the music lifts your spirits. So much of political punk is abrasive and unpleasant. No hooks. No melodies. But other times the words sound incongruent with emotionless and insipid music. The Iron Roses manage something rare and commanding with music that lifts the heart coupled powerfully with lyrics that express fury and resentment of the current world. Punk as a genre has been so commodified and diluted over the last decades that it seems to be ever increasingly hard to find bands that resonate this way. That sing and play with such intensity that their authenticity cannot be questioned. That prove that true punk is alive and well and can have you dancing around your kitchen singing along at the top of your voice.

Yes, we can discuss their pedigree, most notably their frontperson Nathan Gray (of Boysetsfire), and their relentless touring and political activism. But none of those things matter if the songs don't connect with the listener. And this collection of songs are going to do just that. From the opening notes of the first song the cards are on the table. The objective is clear -- The Iron Roses are putting to words and music all the thoughts you've had these last few dark years. With the worldwide political climate leaning further and further from the left. With rights for many being limited and destroyed. With no end in sight. We need bands like The Iron Roses giving us a soundtrack to fight. Songs to pour our anger and frustration into when we sing along - just as they did when they wrote and recorded them.

The beauty of seeing these six individuals singing their truth is astounding. Watching them grow from strength to strength in the last few years it is unsurprising that this record is the outcome. They, and their songs, represent such power, love, and passion -- something that we need more than ever in this world today.

1. Screaming for a Change
2. Soldier of Fortune

From the dark roots of Amebix, Discharge and Nausea. A new twisted branch of thorns shoots from the alternate family tree.

In 2019 BC (Before Covid) Discharge frontman Jeff Janiak reached out to longtime friend and musician JP Parsons to assist on a new project. The pair wrote and recorded various ideas before reaching out to Amebix guitarist Stig.C.Miller who joined them in the midst of the global pandemic. The trio utilized this new creative climate of physical restriction and went on to set the foundations for their first album, via file sharing home recordings, which would be arranged and produced by Stig. It was several months later when he would call upon Nausea, Ministry and former Amebix drummer Roy Mayorga to complete the line up. Roy went onto record drums, mix and produce the band's debut album 'LET THEM EAT FAKE'.

In these unprecedented times of global restriction, fear and the everlasting lack of faith in the hierarchy 'False Fed' has cultivated a heavy sound that is drenched in melody, aggression and shrouded in darkness. It is not bound by genre, yet still offers subtle hints to the creators lineage.

False Fed are:
Jeff (JJ) Janiak - Vocals
Stig.C.Miller - Guitar
JP Parsons - Bass Guitar
Roy Mayorga - Drums

Wrong Man "Big Plans"

12"EP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 10/6/23
CAT#: SDR-106
LABEL: Sunday Drive

"Big Plans" is the second release from Belgium's, Wrong Man. Having played together in previous bands, Partisan, Rise and Fall + more, Wrong Man formed to do something different than previous projects. Following the debut, "Who Are You?" Wrong Man continue on the path of noisy, melodic, post-hardcore. Hints of Fugazi, Quicksand, Swiz and Jesus Lizard are sprinkled throughout the band's songs. On "Big Plans", the band sounds the most confident yet. Sonic pushes and pulls, along with the bands' ability to play with quietness, and with Bjorn's yelling of introspective, separative lyrics, the band creates a very dynamic and unique record.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Don't Remind Me
2. Big Plans
3. Wait
4. Lights Out

MARKETING POINTS:

• Featuring members of Oathbreaker, Rise and Fall
• Upcoming fall tour with Superbloom in EU
• UK tour with Fiddlehead in Winter 2024

FOR FANS OF:
Swiz, Fugazi, Jesus Lizard

Wet The Rope / Icepield "Split"

LP - $14.00
STREET DATE: 10/6/23
CAT#: PRO-078
LABEL: Protagonist Music

On this split album we find California represented in two bands that are deeply connected to the experience of 90's emotional hardcore, while firmly establishing relevancy for the current times. Northern California's Wet The Rope approach their second vinyl release by quieting their angular, off-kilter hardcore just slightly and focusing their work on exploring aging, loss, and death. Their sound is plaintive, urgent, and melodic, bringing to mind acts such as Ignition, Pot Valiant, and Swiz. San Diego's Icepield follow up their cassette EP with tracks that bring to mind their hometown flavor a la Pitchfork and Drive Like Jehu, while a closer listen reveals touches of 80's dark post-punk and alternative rock as well. Their anxious and chaotic melody along with cryptic, introspective lyrics, combine for a driving and ultimately catchy result. Wet The Rope boast ex-members of Amber Inn and Downcast, while Icepield have ex-members of Stickfigurecarousel.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Wet The Rope - Let the Rain Fall Forever
2. Wet The Rope - Appalachian Dusk
3. Wet The Rope - Suffocation
4. Wet The Rope - Alarms are Obsolete
5. Wet The Rope - Bring Us Back
6. Icepield - Truth Decay
7. Icepield - The Glove
8. Icepield - Brutal Holiday
9. Icepield - Please Send Hell
10. Icepield - Open Presence

MARKETING POINTS:

• Wet The Rope is ex members of Amber Inn, Downcast
• Icepield is ex members of Stickfigurecarousel
• Album mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Graf Orlock, Joyce Manor) at Atomic Garden

Garrison & Orange Island "Songs from a Central Massachusetts Mill Town"

7"EP - $7.00
7"EP UPC: 724399772378
STREET DATE: 10/6/23
CAT#: IOD-52
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Hailing from small towns in Central Massachusetts, both Garrison and Orange Island shared a similar history coming up in the music scene. They shared influences, stages, equipment, and even occasionally members. Even though both bands took their different paths, they always shared a friendship and common roots having come up in the time of the Worcester Space and the St. John's Gym in Clinton. In 2003, while both bands were in the studio working on new albums, Iodine Recordings proposed the idea of a split where they covered each other's songs. These two songs were the result, and although the record never saw the light of day, we are excited to present it now, almost 20 years later, on vinyl for the first time. Both songs were remastered by Jack Shirley (Quicksand, Joyce Manor) at The Atomic Garden, and the Garrison track was remixed by Ethan Dussault (On the Might of Princes, Smoke or Fire) at New Alliance Studio. It is being presented as a limited edition pressing on transparent red vinyl, hand numbered out of 250 copies.

Both Garrison and Orange Island embody the best parts of late-90s emo and post-hardcore. Garrison covers Orange Island's "Stand Up, State Your Name" from "Everything You Thought You Knew" and Orange Island covers Garrison's "Recognize and Opportunity" from "Be a Criminal."

TRACK LISTING:

1. Garrison - Stand Up, State Your Name
2. Orange Island - Recognize an Opportunity

MARKETING POINTS:

• Out-of-print tracks on vinyl for the first time ever
