Grief Mop "I Want to Pull the Sleep From Your Eyes"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 12/12/25
CAT#: SDR-150
LABEL: Sunday Drive

As evocative as the album title “I Want to Pull the Sleep From Your Eyes” is, Grief Mop stretch its imagery even further across their debut nine-track LP. The opener, “I Prefer to Be Nobody”, sets the tone with the line, “…and dreamt you were showing me your face covered up with bleach,” a lyric that plays out like a Lynchian film still. On the lead single, Strange World, Lacy sustains this eerie songwriting, screaming “rolling over in the dirt…it may best to just lie” as the track reaches its peak. Each song has its picture-painted moment, layered in abrasive drum-and-bass tones and dissolving guitar melodies. Grief Mop pull from a wide range of influences from emo, post-rock, and shoegaze bands like Mock Orange, Hum, The Appleseed Cast, and My Bloody Valentine to create this off-kilter, yet focused debut album.

Squint "Drag"

12" EP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 12/12/25
CAT#: SDR-151
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Squint doesn’t slow down. Just a year after their LP Big Hand, the post-hardcore band returns with Drag—a six-track EP packed with grit and riffs. Recorded with punk/hardcore producer Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Harm’s Way, and more), the EP captures some of the band’s most straightforward yet dynamic work to date.

The record opens with “Squintro Pt. 2,” a 40-second callback to their debut EP Feel It, before flowing seamlessly into “Green Grass,” where a driving post-hardcore track evolves into a rhythmic, alt-rock-inspired anthem. This balance defines Drag: fast, urgent songwriting layered with dynamics that leave space for pauses, claps, and sing-alongs.

On Drag, Squint sound confident and sharp, moving effortlessly across moods and styles while always sounding like Squint.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Squintro Pt. 2
02. Green Grass
03. Empty Tank

Glean "Worlds Apart"

12" EP - $16.60
STREET DATE: 12/12/25
CAT#: SDR-147
LABEL: Sunday Drive

With a foundation of San Diego’s punk influences from Drive Like Jehu, Blink-182, Heroin and others, a band like Glean naturally have a sense of melody. Formed in 2019 by four kids (now young adults), the band blends that melodic instinct with their love of punk and hardcore, crafting energetic, emotional, and catchy songs in the vein of Seaweed, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Lifetime, and Title Fight.

“Worlds Apart” is Glean’s first album in years and their debut on Sunday Drive Records. It feels like the record they’ve been building toward since their 2020 demo. Now with a refreshed lineup, the production of Max Epstein (Photographic Memory), and mastering by Phillip Odom (Militarie Gun, Glare, Ivy League TX), Glean have been able to write some of their catchiest songs yet. On lead single “Sediment,” Boucher and Barkley trade vocals over scratchy guitars that build up to the line, “I can feel you fall beneath the sediment.” That same energy flows into “Receive You,” featuring guest vocals from longtime friend Sam Allen (Anxious, G.I. Bill). Glean also pulls back on the track, “Exit Wound” that sounds much more quiet and intimate, almost like a lost Mineral or Texas is the Reason song.

“Worlds Apart” is sonically abrasive, while still carrying melody, poetic lyrics and tons of emotions.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Sediment
02. Receive You
03. Vacant
04. No One
05. Exit Wound
06. Face to Face

Peach Blush "Eradication of the Mind"

7" EP - $8.00
STREET DATE: 12/12/25
CAT#: SDR-152
LABEL: Sunday Drive

There’s a strong and organic relationship with many Texas and Arkansas people in DIY music, including the music veterans in Little Rock’s, Peach Blush. The band plays a mix of alt-rock and post-punk, with flashes of garage rock and hardcore—largely inspired by the 80s wave of bands like Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr or Mission of Burma. It creates a unique, surfy, and heavy sound. “Eradication of the Mind” is their first EP since 2022, and their first on Sunday Drive Records. With just three tracks, the band quickly deliver a wave of fast, and experimental punk, with themes of decay and distortion. “Eradication of the Mind” is a great re-introduction to the band as they’ve dialed-in on this unique sound that sounds like only Peach Blush can at this moment in time.

Money "Stovepipe"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 12/12/25
CAT#: SDR-149
LABEL: Sunday Drive

There’s a slowness woven into the steadiness of the American South. While there’s beauty in that sentiment, it can also carry a lingering sense of being stuck and unable to move forward. From Oklahoma, Money first released their debut EP in 2022, followed by a couple of singles. “Stovepipe” marks the band’s long-awaited first album, and their first collection of new music in three years; something that their cult audience has been patiently awaiting.

On “Stovepipe”, Money continues to build on the sludgy, alt-metal foundations of their self-titled EP. Self-produced, with Joshua Warren on mixing and Kendal Osborne on mastering, the record captures the band’s biggest, heaviest sound to date.

‘Motion Sick’ finds Watkins reflecting on the weary cycles of life, yet embracing them: “The cycle continues…don’t pull me out, cause I have made my home here.” On ‘SVTLIGHTNING,’ the lyrics ache for escape: “I’m done growing older, wanna catch my breath and go away.” And with ‘The Little Season,’ they sound their most unique yet, swapping the big, distorted guitars for a minimal, acoustic son shaped by the country music that drifts through their hometown.

“Stovepipe” is Money’s most mature work, that offers a dynamic palette of sound and emotion, heavy but fleeting, and built to resonate even louder in a live setting.

TRACK LISTING:
01. (Money Worldwide)
02. Freebaser

fawn "Paper Thin"

LP - $16.60
STREET DATE: 11/21/25
CAT#: SDR-148
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Hailing from San Antonio/Austin, Texas Fawn has stood out in the Texas scene with their noisy and atmospheric performances, joining alongside a mix from supporting touring artists to a local hardcore show. Singer and composer, Trevor Humphreys’ vocal melodies softly carry the songs gracefully, with driving rhythms from drummer, Jes Morales, bassist, Olivia Jacome, and guitarist Giovannis Campos.

“Paper Thin” marks Fawn’s first proper release on Sunday Drive Records and their first full project since 2022’s self-titled EP. While the record stays true to the band’s established sound, these four tracks feel both expansive and stripped down, layered yet effortlessly composed. Each song runs just past the four-minute mark, but doesn’t feel like it, because of the memorable melodies and guitar leads that can easily get stuck in your head.

With “Paper Thin”, Fawn continues to set themselves apart and further solidifies their place in Texas’ thriving alternative-rock scene.

Negative Blast "Destroy Myself For Fun"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 11/14/25
CAT#: 31G157
LABEL: Three One G

Negative Blast formed in San Diego during the depths of the pandemic when longtime buds Rainier Pesebre (vocals) and Alexander Jacobelli (guitar) began trading riffs and ideas in isolation. Jacobelli and bassist Patrick Callaway were touring buddies in their respective bands Lewd Acts and Hour of the Wolf during the early 2000s hardcore punk renaissance. Within two weeks of Rain and Alex jamming ideas, Pat relocated from Chicago to San Diego, cementing the songwriting core of the band.

Jacobelli, who operates Sunsick Studio in La Mesa, engineered and mixed the band’s early recordings, allowing Negative Blast to develop and release material quickly. Their first EP, The First Four Months, was followed by DEMO 002. Initial shows featured Sam Rich (Del Vipers, Riverboat Gamblers) on drums before the group began work on their first LP, Echo Planet, released through Quiet Panic Records.

Midway through the record, Callaway reached out to Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless, Hot Snakes, Rocket From the Crypt), who joined on drums. With Rubalcaba, the band released a split with LA hardcore act SWEAT via Vitriol Records. In 2025, drummer Hunter Martinez (Decent Criminal, Human Issue) stepped in as a permanent member. His energy is captured on the band’s 2025 full-length, Destroy Myself For Fun. Negative Blast’s live résumé includes sharing stages with Botch, Unsane, Deaf Club, The Bled, Finch, Darkest Hour, Swing Kids, Clikatat Ikatowi, Lower Class Brats, The Bronx, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Loma Prieta, City of Caterpillar, High Vis, and 7 Seconds, among others.

Secret World "Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 11/07/25
CAT#: SDR-144
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Secret World deliver hearty, hardcore rock ‘n’ roll with an earnest charm. Comprised of friends who connected through the Sydney and Newcastle hardcore scenes, Secret World members played in other bands like SPEED, Trophy Eyes and Downside before forming the group in 2023; soon releasing their highly-praised EP Guilt Is Good in 2024, led by the anthemic single ‘Living Less’. Now, Secret World are on the verge of releasing their second EP Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me.

Arriving on September 19 via Last Ride Records (AU/NZ), Sunday Drive Records (USA) and Ice Grills (JP), Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me builds upon Secret World’s rock ‘n’ roll foundation with the urgency of hardcore punk and hook-laden choruses drawn from alt-rock sensibilities. While the EP is filled with emotive storytelling and extended anecdotes, it paints a clear picture of a band who are intent on seizing this moment, pushing forward with purpose, and giving it their absolute all.

Lead single ‘Good Faith’ features Sydney rock royalty Shogun (Royal Headache, Antenna) and fuses punchy and melodic vocals, leading into an infectious stadium-sized hook. Elsewhere, the ravaging ‘Repeat Offender’ is gritty and unapologetic; while the breezier riffs of ‘Everywhere Now’ trade aggression for reflection - a love letter to the hardcore scene and the friends they’ve lost along the way, blending grief with gratitude and everything in between.

Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me was produced, recorded and mixed by Fletcher Matthews (Dear Seattle, Trophy Eyes) ** and mastered by Mike Kalajian at Rogue Planet (Quicksand, Saves The Day). Despite the clean sound, the EP still retains the energy of a sweat-drenched pub that’s packed to the brim, filled with sing-a-longs beside friends and strangers that you’ve just met. There’s no doubt that Secret World songs are made to be experienced live, with the band already selling out their own headline shows in Australia and playing alongside internationals like Basement, Drain and No Pressure.

Secret World are soon taking to the United States for the first time, touring alongside UK champions High Vis; and also playing at Furnace Fest with pioneers like Jimmy Eat World, Dropkick Murphys and Knocked Loose. Armed with a new EP and a raucous live show to boot, the band are charging into new territory - louder, sharper, and more sure of themselves than ever.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Good Faith
02. Repeat Offender
03. Action
04. Can You See?
05. Through The Night

Massa Nera "The Emptiness of All Things"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 10/31/25
CAT#: VIS028
LABEL: Persistent Vision

Our present moment sees us grappling with the rise of end-times fascism, the annihilation of collective, shared meaning, and the looming threat of climate catastrophe. It is within this landscape that Massa Nera release their urgent, genre-defying 3rd LP, "The Emptiness of All Things."

Having been given a commission by the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music to create a work that addresses the climate crisis, Massa Nera embraced experimentation, confrontation, and musical malfeasance in an attempt to capture the hellish inanity that defines our reality. Where once their songs bounced, they now alternately lumber and convulse. Their former impulse towards dance has mutated into a desire for destruction.

Lyrically, Massa Nera has shunned autobiography in favor of something more character-driven, more literary, more speculative. They offer a snapshot of capitalistic delusion and existential paralysis, rooted in the anxieties and fractured psychologies of the here and now. In short, "The Emptiness of All Things" is a lyrical call to arms, delivered not as a rallying cry but as an obituary. It is a mirror held up to the abyss, reflected back at the listener without pity or mawkish sentiment.

Despite this, the band has not abandoned melody. The predominant mood of ugliness is counterbalanced by passages of beauty, longing, and even undisguised gentleness. This gentleness, however, is not in service of an unearned, misplaced optimism. It is offered in the spirit of reflection, allowing listener and band alike to take a breath as they stare into the void.

"The Emptiness of All Things" was recorded and mixed by Matt Michael (No Man, Majority Rule) and mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate). The LP comes packaged in a gatefold jacket with newsprint poster insert and limited colored vinyl.

TRACK LISTING:
01. A Body
02. Pelerin
03. Avalon Cove
04. The Best is Over
05. Mechanical Sunrise
06. City of Mines
07. Lavender

Deaf Club "Contemporary Sickness (2025 Reissue)"

7" EP - $8.75
STREET DATE: 10/31/25
CAT#: 31G107
LABEL: Three One G

Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Weak Flesh), and Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted) approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses. We’ve got to try to listen, lest we all frolic headfirst towards the bright side of death, dragging this pillaged planet down with us. So whether you think the music is a radical disruption to the airwaves or just headache-inducing noise, you can feel free to tell them the brutal truth-- they can't hear you anyway.

Spiritiste "Excommunication Hymns"

LP - $15.95
STREET DATE: 10/31/25
CAT#: PRO-106
LABEL: Protagonist Music

From Louisiana’s capital city of Baton Rouge come Spiritiste, an occult-influenced emotional hardcore band. Spiritiste's politically charged debut album, Excommunication Hymns, is a rage-filled effort that rallies against religious and political oppression, and reflects on the emotional trauma of trying to survive in the current fetid political climate/environment. Still, across these ten very expressive, cathartic tracks, the band does ultimately retain hope for a better world.

Sonically, Spiritiste have crafted a fresh, but identifiable, sound with dynamics that shift between steady and composed to chaotic sonic bedlam. Spiritiste draw upon core influences that include '90s hardcore bands like Shotmaker and Portraits of Past, but also salute noise rock mainstays Jesus Lizard and Chat Pile, and contemporary screamo acts like State Faults, Habak, and Frail Body.

Recorded and produced by Matt Bear, and mastered by Alan Douches, Excommunication Hymns presents a fully realized vision out-of-the-gate and establishes a musical call-to-arms for those marginalized and traumatized by a deeply rooted authoritarian culture.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Tumor
02. Sympathetic Resonance
03. Now I Am Become...
04. The Dead Travel Fast

Believe in Nothing "Rot"

LP - $20.65 / CD - $12.00
STREET DATE: 10/31/25
CAT#: CRR254
LABEL: Church Road

Due for release on 31st October 2025 via Church Road Records, Rot is Believe In Nothing’s full-length debut and the culmination of their bleak creative vision. It chisels into granite their counter-intuitive approach to heaviness: equal parts chaos and control, volume and restraint, with layered textures collapsing under their own weight. Where earlier singles hinted at suffocating tension, Rot dives headlong into the abyss, using pressure, space, and psychological decay to conjure a world that feels like it’s been burning for years. The title track, “Rot”, already a staple in their live set, appears at the end of shows for a reason: a final, devastating statement that refuses to comfort. A cracked mirror held up to the slow, grinding death of the familiar which leaves no closure, only aftermath.

TRACK LISTING:

Just a year after their debut LP, “Angel in the Sand”, Leaving Time returns with a new two-song release, “Loop / Live Beneath”. Recorded earlier this fall at Matt Talbott’s (Hum) Earth Analog Studios with Zac Montez (Whirr, Cloakroom, Turnover), the band expands their sound with their longest tracks to date, and both surpassing five minutes.

Despite their length, ‘Loop’ and ‘Live Beneath’ feel significant and melodic with Leaving Time writing their most expansive songs in their discography. Rather than leaning on a slow build, the band creates a dynamic in each that makes the songs slide away, with a strong foundation of melody that linger after they end.

Raein "Forme Sommerse"

LP - $17.50
STREET DATE: 10/24/25
CAT#: VIS027
LABEL: Persistent Vision

Following a triumphant return to live performances and several vinyl reissues last year, Italy’s RAEIN presents a brand new album, "Forme Sommerse" (Submerged Forms). Their first new music in ten years, "Forme Sommerse" consists of two seamless side-length songs across nearly thirty minutes - an emotionally complex, dynamic and graceful hardcore record from start to finish.

“It’s been ten years since our last recording. Ten years of change. It wasn’t a given we’d manage it again; clearly, what once was has cut deep—and stayed. We moved instinctively, as we always have, condensing these ten years of shifts and distances into half an hour of music. When we reflect on reality, it’s its submerged forms that move us; this record, true to tradition, is a tribute to what can’t be seen and to what compels us.”

Founded in 2002 in Italy, the band released a dizzying amount of music, across multiple splits, EPs and albums, while extensively touring the world during their original run. Reformed in 2023, Raein is considered to be one of the leaders in emotional post-hardcore, carrying a similar spirit and sound as bands like Orchid, Saetia, Pg.99, and others. Melding melody and discordance into something truly beautiful to experience.

"Forme Sommerse" comes packaged in a matte, full color gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeve and limited colored vinyl.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Primo Movimento
02. Secondo Movimento

MARKETING POINTS:

• The first new music from Italy's RAEIN in ten years

STREET DATE: 10/24/25
CAT#: CRR255
LABEL: Church Road

Whether spreading plagues, turning the Earth to ash or teetering on the precipice of depression, you can always count on Kingston Upon Hull’s premier misery merchants Mastiff to ruin your day. Now well over a decade into their parade of embittered misanthropy, the East Yorkshire quintet have definitively burned their mark into the UK’s extreme music scene with a fistful of mangled hardcore and sludge riffs and an endless well of spite.

Mastiff’s reputation as a ferocious live entity only continues to grow, as they have spent the last few years racking up appearances at prestigious heavy music festivals like Bloodstock, Damnation, Incineration and DesertFest to name but a few, as well as sharing stages and touring with the likes of Avatar, Palm Reader, Conan, Black Tongue, Cult Leader, Calligram, Iron Monkey, Raging Speedhorn and many, many more.

As for recorded output, following two critically acclaimed albums on MNRK Heavy (High On Fire, The Callous Daoboys, Underoath, Darkest Hour etc), as well as their track ‘Acid Breather’ appearing in the multi-million-selling video game Cyberpunk 2077 and its Netflix anime spin-off Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Mastiff have finally and proudly joined the hallowed roster of Church Road Records for the release of ‘For All The Dead Dreams’, a blistering five-song assault of pummelling and aggravated hardcore.

Once again recorded and mixed by the incredible Joe Clayton at Nø Studio and mastered by the legendary Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, ‘…Dead Dreams’ sees Mastiff at their most brutish, sounding like Nails, Harms Way and Gatecreeper thrown into a cement mixer and poured straight into your ears. If the band’s previous album ‘Deprecipice’ felt as blunt and ignorant as heavy music gets, revel in horror as Mastiff collectively grunt ‘Hold my beer’ and dish up 15 minutes of unrelenting and unforgiving punishment.

At the time, they stood apart in hardcore for their dark, and more punk approach, shaping a wave of bands that followed. Decades later, their influence is still felt, not just in the music, but in the way they showed hardcore could be both brutal and vulnerable, yet deeply human.
