Modern Life Is War "Tribulation Worksongs"

12"EP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 3/22/24
CAT#: DW243
LABEL: Deathwish Inc.

"Tribulation Worksongs" was recorded by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios, mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The session was originally released as a series of three 7"EPs between 2018 and 2021. In their initial presentation, the lyrics/credits of each song were typed by vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton on his 1950's Royal "Quiet De Luxe" typewriter. These were later hand stamped on the front and back covers of the EP by artist J. Bannon, making each cover totally unique. The labels of the vinyl were also hand stamped before final assembly by the people at Deathwish.

For 2024, Modern Life Is War present the "Tribulation Worksongs" sessions as a one 12"EP/Digital album. This release combines all three 7"EPs with "End Times Dub", a dub version of "Feels Like End Times", reimagined by Urian Hackney (Rough Francis, Iggy Pop, The Armed, etc). The packaging of the release is a combination of visual work from Jeffrey Eaton, Thomas Hooper, and J. Bannon.

Holydanger "The Ethereal Beauty"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 3/22/24
CAT#: SDR-116
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Somewhere along an intersection between new-wave, post-punk, and indie rock, lies Holydanger. The band formed in Paris, France in 2021, and in little time, already formed their full-length, debut LP, "The Ethereal Beauty". They recorded with UK producer, Jim Spencer (New Order, Electronic, The Charlatans) and the songs were mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios by engineer, Frank Arkwright (Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura). After a year or so, the LP came to fruition and resulted in a refreshing take on this sound. Approaching new-wave/post-punk from the members' hardcore perspective gives even the softer songs a bit of edge, and ensures that each track has a catchy hook. Tracks like the opener, "Nowhere Near Prepared" or "Radiant You" showcase this the best, showing the range of an anthemic pop song to an emo-inspired ballad song. "The Ethereal Beauty" was released in the fall of 2023 independently, and is now being reissued on Sunday Drive Records, and available for the first time on 12" vinyl.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Nowhere Near Prepared
02. Acting Real Nice
03. 700m²
04. Satin Fields
05. Zeinot
06. Radiant You
07. Mausoleo

Prisoner "Putrid | Obsolete"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 765464057099
STREET DATE: 3/15/24
CAT#: VIS010
LABEL: Persistent Vision

In the six years since Richmond VA quintet Prisoner released their first LP, "Beyond The Infinite", the entire world fell apart. Already somewhat apocalypse-curious, the band decided to ride the current wave of doom as far as it would take them, adding synth player Adam Lake in order to bring a greater emphasis on noise, samples, and electronic sound textures. The result is their new full-length, "Putrid | Obsolete", which layers the nightmarish crust/hardcore and blackened metal of their earlier material in a thick coating of harsh industrial noise and gloom.

Floating amid a polluted sea of atonal samples and ominous synth soundwaves, crunching guitars lay down brutal 100mph riffs over a powerful rhythm section crunch, even as multiple demonic voices unleash anguished roars. With apologies to TS Eliot, this is the real way the world ends: amid an unrelenting wave of industrial metal/punk brutality.

"Putrid | Obsolete" was produced, recorded and mixed by Ricky Olson at the Ward (Enforced, .GIF From God) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Flesh Dirge
  2. Pool Of Disgust
  3. The Horde
  4. Shroud
  5. Leaden Tomb
  6. Pathogenesis

Gouge Away "Deep Sage"

LABEL: Deathwish Inc.

Deep Sage, Gouge Away's third studio album, started coming together in 2019 during sound checks and in small pockets of downtime between tours. In early 2020, they demoed with Brok Mende in an unassuming storage unit in Orlando. They pulled influence not only from the nostalgia of the bands they grew up listening to but also developed the sense of urgency, noise, and introspective lyrics they felt most represented them. Those demos helped shape the songs into the finished record that Deep Sage would become.

Then everything came to a halt in 2020 when a full year of plans were canceled in an instant. With the rug pulled out from under them, their backs against the wall, and no way to change the situation they were in, the members of Gouge Away had no choice but to go on a hiatus. They moved to different parts of the country and focused on their personal lives, accepting that those songs were never going to see the light of day.

But the songs lived as files waiting to be rediscovered and every once in a while, they'd get the urge to listen to them again. On New Year's Eve just before 2022, they decided to reconnect and finish writing the album with Portland, OR becoming their new writing location. While everyone was in town for a writing session, Militarie Gun had a show down the street at Mano Oculta and invited Gouge Away to play a couple of songs during their set as a surprise. It was the first show the band had played in three years and the live debut of "Maybe Blue". Energized by the reaction, the band finished writing. They had an overabundance of material, slashing songs from the final tracklist left and right. They not only elaborated on the urgent and abrasive qualities they were known for but broadened their melodic traits too.

Deep Sage was recorded with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden East in March 2023 completely analog and almost entirely live. The band recorded together in a live room while Christina was in an isolation booth. Her vocals projected from a monitor so the band could hear her. The goal of recording live was to sound like five friends playing in a room together, just like where they started in Florida. Unpolished and far from being over-produced, this is what the heart of Gouge Away has always been.

Greed Worm "Ritual Onslaught"

LP - $13.35
STREET DATE: 3/15/24
CAT#: PRO-093
LABEL: Protagonist Music

At the violent intersection of tech noir and old-school metalcore is where we find Greed Worm, a Chicago-based quintet in the business of serving dank, mean-spirited riffs for the disenfranchised since 2021. With "Ritual Onslaught" they've fused outright ignorant doses of musical dissonance and noise with lyrics condemning the artificial constructs that create and perpetuate human suffering. This approach conjures an almost mechanized brutality across the album that sees fit to reflect, and in turn, destroy, our collective societal malaise. Featuring Mike Lundin from Sarin, Karly Soto from Snuffed, and Nick Ayala from Break the Cycle, this is Greed Worm's most anticipated and mature release yet.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Pirate Signal
  2. Chaos Theory

Hollow Suns "Free Fall"

12"EP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 3/8/24
CAT#: SDR-115
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Following their debut 2022 LP, "Otherside", Hollow Suns returns with the EP, "Free Fall". Tokyo band, Hollow Suns are no strangers to U.S. hardcore/punk and have always had elements of it in their music. For the most part, Hollow Suns pulled more from 90's alternative rock bands like Foo Fighters or Jimmy Eat World; creating catchy guitar-hook-driven music. On "Free Fall" which is still present, however, Hollow Suns are diving more into the post-hardcore mix of things, pulling inspiration more from bands like Quicksand, Jawbox, and Helmet. This is a natural evolution in sound for Hollow Suns, which primarily shines on the title track, 'Free Fall'; while a track like, 'No Progression' displays their talent for writing a perfect guitar alt-rock song. Like their previous LP, "Free Fall" is also mixed and mastered by Will Yip, which adds his signature touch on each of these songs, with artwork from Kyle Niland (Scheme Records) to present these songs with a nod to 90's post-hardcore artwork. "Free Fall" is available in the USA from Sunday Drive Records and on Ice Grill$ in Japan.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Free Fall
  2. Fear
  3. No Progression
  4. All You Got

MARKETING POINTS:

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.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Césarienne Au Noir
  2. Mauvais Vivant
  3. Toute Honte Bue
  4. Foudres Fainéantes
  5. La Haine (Bernard Lavilliers)

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

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

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

12"EP UPC: 791689666082
STREET DATE: 2/23/24
CAT#: DW254
LABEL: Deathwish Inc.

"Your mind is not your own
Manipulated just like everyone else
What you think, what you know
A poison seed will grow and grow"

After nearly 14 years The Hope Conspiracy have emerged from their bunker to a reality entangled by this unwavering truth.

Since their last release (True Nihilist, 2009) members have been active in a multitude of bands; All Pigs Must Die, Hesitation Wounds, Lies, Paint It Black, Spiral Heads, Ways Away and more. Efforts in the above may have kept them musically sharp, but it was the pressures and stresses of our present day dystopia that awoke The Hope Conspiracy. Serving as the catalyst for some of the most vicious songs they have ever created in their legendary career.

"Confusion/Chaos/Misery" is a four song EP by The Hope Conspiracy, engineered by Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks at God City Studios. Artwork for the release was created by acclaimed artist Alexander Heir (Death/Traitors).

The title track is a sonically violent return to form for The Hope Conspiracy. Lyrically reading as scorched-earth policy for the sociopolitical nightmare that entangles us all.

"A Struggle For Power" is a near perfect D-Beat ripper, super-charged with palatable lyrical vitriol. While "Nail In The Coffin" ominously rumbles before bulldozing forward with immense power. The closer is a cover of the deep-cut classic "Dogfight", penned by Swedish crust legends Anti Cimex. A fitting track to revisit amid these turbulent modern times.

When all is said and done, this new chapter of The Hope Conspiracy comes into focus. Time passing has stripped away the unnecessary to reveal a hardcore band in their most primal form yet.

And this is just the beginning...

Kairo "After Forever"

12"EP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 2/23/24
CAT#: SDR-113
LABEL: Sunday Drive

"After Forever" is the second EP from Pensacola, Florida's alternative rock band, Kairo. This EP follows their 2022 debut, "Wither" released on From Within Records, which established their sound somewhere between emo and alternative rock with a mix of grunge and shoegaze. Sharing members of Statement of Pride and Glazed Eyes, Kairo is a very different band than the aforementioned, however, similarities exist with the attention to melody focused in alt/indie rock, and heaviness shared in hardcore and alt-rock from the sound of Les Pauls. "After Forever" is over in just about 14 minutes; each track hits and delivers with tons of melody--something that is difficult to attend to within the huge wave of sound. Kairo has crafted these four tracks to flow seamlessly into each other, making it catchy and easy to leave on repeat.

Abhinanda "Complete Discography"

5xLP - $110.00
STREET DATE: 2/23/24
CAT#: EH094
LABEL: End Hits

After being out of print for decades, End Hits Records has partnered with the Swedish hardcore punk legends ABHINANDA to re-release their complete discography on vinyl.

Founded in 1992 in Umea, now recognized as a European punk hub, ABHINANDA played a significant role in shaping the history and development of the 90's hardcore scene. Alongside their contemporaries REFUSED (with whom they frequently shared and swapped members), they were instrumental in the international breakthrough and popularization of Scandinavian hardcore. Much credit for this goes to singer Jose Saxlund, who, along with Dennis Lyxzen (Refused, Int. Noise Conspiracy), operated the Straight Edge label "Desperate Fight" and played a vital role in consistently releasing recordings from the thriving Swedish scene.

Finally, the entire ABHINANDA discography will be available once again, this time on strictly limited vinyl:

The five-vinyl box set comes in an elegant cardboard slipcase, with each individual record housed in a gatefold cover and accompanied by a large-format poster. Additionally, there are numerous never-before-seen pictures, along with detailed liner notes/interviews featuring band members and contemporaries such as Dennis Lyxzen (Refused), Vique Simba (Revelation Records, Simba Zine+Records), Sara Almgren (Doughnuts, Int. Noise Conspiracy), and Kate Tucker-Reddy (108). The box set includes the three full-length albums "Senseless," "Self Titled," and "The Rumble," as well as a double LP featuring all demo recordings, EPs, and 7" tracks.

Timelost "Drained"

LP - $19.40 / CD - $9.60
STREET DATE: 2/23/24
CAT#: CRR213
LABEL: Church Road

What once began as a file sharing project among friends across the country, Timelost, have had their fair share of obstacles and evolutions. Now all in Philadelphia for quite some time, the band has evolved from their once melancholic shoegaze and grunge concept, to their new more upbeat and straight-forward garage rock/power pop sound. There's a nostalgic feel akin to the great alternative rock bands of the 90's but still filled with modern day influence.

The band's first album Don't Remember Me For This came out in November of 2019, with the band's first tour in February of 2020. The Covid pandemic quickly shut down the rest of the year's plans, but Timelost continued writing in hopes of the world opening up again soon. Through all of the uncertainty in 2021, the band still released their EP, Gushing Interest in February. Even with general widespread acclaim from media outlets such as Revolver Magazine, Kerrang!, New Noise Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, and more, this didn't lead to much live activity due to shows and tours being canceled worldwide.

They didn't let this stop them though. With a desire to lean further into their new, more "fun" power pop sound, the band took a break from live appearances and wrote 17 songs while picking the best 10 to record for their next album. Now at the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024, Timelost is reborn: a revitalized power trio with a fresh sound and batch of songs, all while retaining the same attention to detail and knack for catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and cynical rhymes you may have grown to love.

February 2024 sees the release of Drained via Church Road Records, the band's second full-length LP and the newest evolutionary chapter of Timelost. The album was recorded and mixed by fellow Philadelphian's Scoops Dardaris (Prince Daddy & The Hyena, They Are Gutting A Body Of Water, Another Michael) and mastered by Matt Poirier (The War On Drugs, The National, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah).

Generation "Satellites & Suns"

7"EP - $7.50
STREET DATE: 2/16/24
CAT#: SDR-108
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Expressive thoughts & feelings, delivered with melody and hardcore is a quick way to sum up Generation's sound. Formed in 2019 in Manchester, England by a group of friends who've played together and in separate hardcore bands (Insist, Standpoint, Reflect, etc.), one of the goals of the band was to have an everlasting band to write for, for years to come--and in a different approach, stylistically. Generation was introduced through their 2019 LP, "Call It A Life" on IOU Records, which showcased their talent of excellent writing of rev-summer era hardcore. A couple of EPs later, you can begin to hear more progression--still very much inspired by DC Hardcore, but with more melody and leaning into more structured alternative-rock songs--think Hüsker Du or The Replacements mixed with One Last Wish and Dag Nasty. On their first EP since 2021, "Satellites & Suns" greatly showcases the skill and progression that Generation has crafted over the years--three songs, full of catchy hooks and melodies to sing along to or stage dive to.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Satellites & Suns
  2. I Hear They Say
  3. Disheartened

MARKETING POINTS:

  • Featuring members of Insist (React! Records)

Adam Gnade "I Wish to Say Lovely Things"

BOOK - $12.00
BOOK UPC: 9781939899460
STREET DATE: 2/14/24
CAT#: 31G139
LABEL: Three One G

Like a child born of the bell hooks classic All About Love and Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Adam Gnade's latest autobiographical novel takes a hard look at love in all forms--romantic, platonic, love of place, of chosen family, of destiny and purpose. Structured in large part as a book of lists, I Wish to Say Lovely Things is a complicated, big-hearted look at what it is stay loving and gentle in a violent age. Through it all, Gnade's characters struggle to get out of bed in the morning, fight for what they believe in while getting zero in return, and hope like hell in the face of hellish hopelessness. I Wish to Say Lovely Things is a graceful, philosophical, clear-eyed beacon with which to light your path through this painful, exhausting, and tremendously magnificent life.
