Baltimore’s Dosser return with Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake, their second full-length and first for Iodine Recordings. Building on the dense, melodic alternative rock of Violent Picture/Violent Sound, the band pushes further into the tension between heaviness and restraint, drawing from the weight and atmosphere of Failure, HUM, Shiner, Heatmiser, and Jawbox while maintaining a sound distinctly their own.

Across eight songs, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake circles feelings of isolation, exhaustion, disconnection, and the search for something solid in a world that increasingly treats people as disposable. The album’s title emerged from an unlikely exchange with a suspected bot account, whose broken response, “good for nothing, born for nothing, born by mistake,” became an unexpectedly fitting metaphor for the record.

Recorded, produced, and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Koyo) and mastered by Mike Kalajian, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake captures Dosser at their most focused, balancing layered guitars, driving rhythms, and melodic immediacy with the urgency of the Baltimore DIY scene.

NØ MAN is a Washington, D.C. political hardcore punk band formed in 2017. Featuring Maha Shami on vocals, Matthew Michel on guitar, Pat Broderick on drums, and Kevin Lamiell on bass, the band features members of Majority Rule.

Between the Sword and the Neck is NØ MAN’s fourth LP and their second album with Iodine Recordings. Across a blistering 26-minute runtime, the band merges pummeling hardcore, political urgency, grief, love, rage, and Palestinian poetry into their most vulnerable and unrelenting work to date.

The album is rooted in the Arabic word “sumud,” meaning steadfastness or perseverance, and channels vocalist Maha Shami’s lived experience as a daughter of Palestinian refugees. The title Between the Sword and the Neck is taken from Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani, referencing the impossibility of genuine negotiation between an oppressor and the oppressed.

Throughout the record, Shami’s lyricism draws from Palestinian history, poetry, family, grief, resistance, survival, and refusal of erasure. The album features guest vocals from Kat Hidalgo and Jenna Pup on “In Spite,” quotations from Ghassan Kanafani, Fadwa Tuqan, and Mahmoud Darwish on “In Tongues,” and names of lives lost to the occupation read by friends and family on “They Have Names.”

Recorded and self-produced by the band, mixed by Matthew Michel, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Between the Sword and the Neck stands as NØ MAN’s most intimate and politically charged statement to date.

New Forms "Nothing's Sacred Anymore"

12" EP UPC: 725305742386
STREET DATE: 07/24/26
CAT#: IOD-96
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

New Forms is a manifestation of both passion and dedication to craft, converging in an expression of longing and belonging. With a wall-of-sound approach that eschews repetition, New Forms has continued to hone their sound since their inception in 2018.

Bassist Travis Fitzgerald, guitarist Justin Valliere, and drummer Chris Musser expanded after their first release I Don’t Want to Live My Life Again to include vocalist Mary White-Valliere and guitarist Jake Letizia. Their collective first LP As Dust Collects brought them on tours with Crowning, Beau Navire, and Jerome’s Dream, while seeing them placed on several DIY festivals around the country including California Kicks, New Friends Fest, ZBR Fest, and Dilly Dally Fest.

New Forms is known for the intensity of their live shows, hitting with a pummeling force that offers little reprieve. While the moments are brief, they are able to create mournfully melodic passages, allowing their intensity to return like an earthquake’s impact in mono-pitched vocals, blended perfectly with the instrumentation. New Forms has a gritty sound with deeply emotional lyrics that are lamentations on memory, trauma, and loss, often tied to themes of nature.

“I have found my voice in this band and it’s allowed me to offer up words to others that I wish someone had spoken to me earlier in life,” White-Valliere plainly explains. “I never want to stop connecting with others and pouring love into the type of community that builds us all up.”

New Forms EP Nothing’s Sacred Anymore is their first release with Iodine Recordings. Engineered and mixed at God City by Zach Weeks (Deafheaven, The Armed, Cerce) and mastered by Nick Townsend (Fleshwater, Full of Hell, Nails), Nothing’s Sacred Anymore was recorded to tape, giving it an unmistakable rawness that only reel-to-reel media can provide.

New Forms’s immersion in the DIY scene is at their core and is continued through their work. White-Valliere states, “New Forms is us finding and trying to nourish a community we sincerely want to thrive. It’s about putting out into the world the things we wish someone shared with us at times in our lives when things felt overwhelmingly lonely. We pour our energy, emotions and ourselves into making New Forms something sincere to us.”

Her Head's On Fire "Am I Not Your Girl?"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 725305742287
STREET DATE: 07/17/26
CAT#: IOD-97
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Her Head’s on Fire announce their new record Am I Not Your Girl via Iodine Recordings, the latest from a band that’s excelled at weaving past and present to deliver rock music that hits a sweet spot of post-hardcore grit and genuine songcraft. Am I Not Your Girl? is an exercise in simplicity born from years of consistency, prioritizing true-blue songwriting that draws on a lifetime of influences: big choruses, big moments, big emotions.

Despite its members having played in a murderer’s row of beloved, important bands in the worlds of post-hardcore and emo (Garrison, Saves the Day, The Bomb, and more), the four-piece have locked in on what the band really is. Her Head’s on Fire isn’t trying to coast off those acts but rather push their work forward.

Mixed by Jack Shirley, the album excels at making the listener feel like they’re in the room with the band as it happens, with production focused on capturing the music live rather than creating anything artificial.

Nowhere is the band’s philosophy better illustrated than in Am I Not Your Girl’s cover art. Painted by Joy Johnson and inspired by the photography of Nan Goldin, it’s a collage of illusory moments all occurring within the same space, one emotion bleeding into the next.

“Maybe this record’s on in the background while people have a beautiful conversation, fall in love, or navigate a brutal moment,” Jagger says. “I am honored to be any part of that soundtrack.”

At the core of the band’s mission is community: playing shows and inviting the world in.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Nightmare Smile
02. The Chloroform Dream
03. We Both Stop The Nightmares

hey thanks. returns with a darker, more deliberate sound. Blending post-punk and new wave influences, their sophomore full-length, Avoidance, reflects on time, identity, and the weight of isolation.

Avoidance finds hey thanks. stepping back from trying to explain everything and sitting in the uncertainty instead.

The record centers on time, identity, and the gap between what you feel and what you can actually make sense of. Across these songs, nothing fully resolves. Moments repeat, thoughts loop, and meaning stays just out of reach. It lives in that in-between space, caught between experience and understanding.

Recorded in their home studio, the album took shape piece by piece using live drum samples, layered percussion, guitar performances, and dense synth work, giving Avoidance its character. The band allowed the songs to unfold naturally, arriving somewhere more honest in the process.

Built on synth layers, live percussion, and bright, driving rhythms, the songs move with a steady pulse while never fully settling. There is a constant push and pull throughout, something that feels light on the surface but carries weight underneath.

Rather than offering clarity, Avoidance stays with the questions.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Is It Fate, Is It Mine?
02. Forward
03. Recollection
04. I Let You In
05. House Of Substance

There Were Wires "Vessel"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 725305742263
STREET DATE: 06/26/26
CAT#: IOD-98
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Vessel marks the return of There Were Wires after more than two decades, capturing a band reshaped by years, loss, and persistence. From their genesis in Boston as a brash & chaotic hardcore punk band, TWW has morphed into a different beast - older, wiser, and heavier than ever before. The record moves elementally between caustic attack and contemplative restraint, balancing intensity with moments of space and reflection. Themes of fear, grief, and exhaustion surface throughout, shaping a body of work that feels both lived-in and immediate. Vessel holds the accumulated experience of the past, expressed with clarity and purpose.

While their self-titled album ran almost entirely on pure adrenaline and shirt-grabbing emotion, and Somnambulists took risks and hinted at musical growth, Vessel sees TWW ignoring the strictures of genre, and producing their most creative and heartfelt songs to date. Through time, trust, and life experience, There Were Wires have created their most immersive and fully realized work.

TRACK LISTING:
01. All Paths Become The Road
02. Massive House Fire
03. Puncture Wounds
04. No Dark Corners
05. I'd Lock You In A Dream

Quiet Fear are a Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band rooted in the Chicano DIY scene, blending the volatility of ’90s screamo with the weight and atmosphere of modern hardcore.

Delivered through bilingual lyrics shaped by identity, community, and lived experience, the album balances emotional intensity with a persistent undercurrent of resistance.

LABEL: Iodine Recordings

Onelinedrawing aka Jonah Matranga (Far, New End Original, Gratitude) is a restless and ever-changing thing. Whatever happens next, the only certainty is that every album will keep being different, and onelinedrawing will keep reaching.

Many of the songs that became Rainbowmachine existed for years before finally finding the right shape. Written across different eras of Jonah Matranga’s life, the album became an opportunity to fully open the onelinedrawing project outward, transforming intimate sketches into a layered, widescreen rock record built around collaboration, texture, and instinct.

Produced by Jay Maas, RAINBOWMACHINE moves between anxious haze, towering hooks, dense guitar layers, bubbling synths, and massive wall-of-sound crescendos while never losing the intimacy at the center of Jonah’s songwriting. The album balances vulnerability, melody, and experimentation in a way that feels both deeply personal and strangely communal.

The result is one of the most expansive and emotionally resonant onelinedrawing records to date: melodic, restless, emotionally raw, and constantly reaching for something bigger than itself.

Recorded with Steve Albini and Jack Shirley, the double LP moves between songs and instrumental passages, shaped by memory, endurance, and hope. Guest appearances from Julien Baker, Jeremy Bolm, and Evan Weiss appear across select tracks.

Free Stickers with Every Order: A History of Hardcore Stickers is the first book dedicated entirely to the visual and cultural legacy of hardcore punk stickers. Fleeting, affordable, and deeply expressive, stickers helped define the DIY ethos of the scene.

Spanning North America from the early 1980s to now, this deluxe hardcover volume presents a carefully curated archive of rare and often long-lost hardcore stickers, preserved from a medium never intended to survive. Stickers were cheap to produce and easy to distribute. They were powerful in their immediacy, functioning as both promotion and protest, identity and community. Pasted on lampposts, venue walls, record bins, and street signs, they carried the values of hardcore far beyond the shows themselves.

Collected over decades and contextualized through firsthand interviews, the book pairs full-color visual documentation with oral histories from key figures in the scene, including members of 7 Seconds, Quicksand, Earth Crisis, Have Heart, American Nightmare, Hot Water Music, Bane, Integrity, and Agnostic Front, among others.

Rather than aiming for encyclopedic completeness, Free Stickers with Every Order follows a selective and thoughtful approach. Many sticker artifacts have been lost over time and cannot be recovered. The book stands as a focused time capsule of hardcore’s visual language, values, and community, told by those who were there.

Piebald "If It Weren’t For Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains For Us All (Deluxe Edition)"

2xLP - $22.50
LP UPC: 199806505038
STREET DATE: 02/27/26
CAT#: IOD-82-DLX
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

The Deluxe 2xLP includes 12 bonus tracks, including the lost God City Demos (Remixed by Kurt Ballou), presented with expanded art in a gatefold package.

Before Piebald were known for their anthemic sing-alongs and offbeat charm, there was Venetian Blinds, an evolution from hardcore roots into something uniquely their own with all of their trademark chaos and cleverness.

Originally released in 1999 on Big Wheel Recreation, “If It Weren’t For Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains For Us All’’ brought Piebald’s blend of the sincere and the satirical to the 90’s emo and indie-rock scene

Now, Iodine Recordings proudly presents a deluxe reissue of this quintessential Record. Completely remastered for vinyl by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Quicksand) at The Atomic Garden, and out of print since its original release. This remastered edition features fully updated artwork reconstructed from original source materials and photos, as well as a retrospective commentary written by the band.

Springing from the thriving Merrimack Valley scene that produced Converge and Cave In, Venetian Blinds’ bridged the gap between underground post-hardcore experimentation and the hook-driven songwriting that would soon define an era. Witty, heartfelt, and impossible to categorize, this deluxe reissue celebrates a crucial piece of Piebald’s history.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Grace Kelly With Wings
02. We Believe In Karma
03. Mess With The Bulls
04. Dirty Harry And The Thunderbolts
05. You Won’t Be Seeing Me Again
