Feverchild "Center of the Earth"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 3/20/26
CAT#: SDR-158
LABEL: Sunday Drive

“Afraid that I’m falling behind” repeats as the final refrain of the title track on Feverchild’s debut full-length, “Center of the Earth”. Painfully resonant for anyone grappling with adulthood, the line distills the album’s central themes: longing for love, isolation, and the inescapable pull of memory.

The lead single “Endless” captures the band’s core sound, but it’s on deeper cuts like “Forms of Falling Gently” where the album’s emotional weight fully unfolds. The track begins with a restrained, minimal melody before gradually building toward a powerful crescendo that’s reflective of the album’s overall tension. “Out of My Hands” and “Zero Gravity Hearts” both have driving rhythms and sing-along choruses, while the closer “Turpentine” strips everything back to acoustic guitar and voice, delivering a quiet and intimate final moment.

The fear of falling behind may be daunting, but “Center of the Earth” suggests it could be necessary to progress.

Honor Choir "Modes of Transport"

12" EP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 3/13/26
CAT#: SDR-155
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Oklahoma City continues to rise with a new wave of independent bands, and Honor Choir are at the forefront. Not only are they doing something different for OKC, they’re doing something different within today’s DIY music. While Blink-182 can be a common influence, Honor Choir push their anthemic pop-punk foundation further, pulling from early-2000s emo and post-hardcore touchstones like Hey Mercedes, New End Original and Rival Schools, alongside ’80s new-wave influences such as New Order and When in Rome.

That range can be heard clearly on “Satellite Receiver” which moves from an abrasive guitar riff into acoustic guitar and piano, and the five-minute closer “Envelope” feels like it could sit comfortably on New Order’s Republic. Honor Choir has mastered combining their range of influences into something incredibly cohesive, and manages to fit a chorus into each song that gets stuck in your head.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Throes (Needful Now)
02. My Thirteen
03. Satellite Receiver

05. Envelope

LP - $16.60
STREET DATE: 3/13/26
CAT#: SDR-160
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Since the release of alovesopure’s You’ll Be a Memory, Davilmar’s creative output has expanded across multiple bands and projects over the past few years. From the harsh noise of Incarnate to the crushing heaviness of Ephermal and the straightforward aggression of Collateral, alovesopure exists somewhere in between. It’s within this collision of sound and feeling that Davilmar thrives, and on the fourth full-length album, BITCRUSHER, that balance comes into focus as something dreamlike, nostalgic, and blissful.

Dance Of Days "Dance Finite"

CD - $7.00
STREET DATE: 1/16/26
CAT#: SDR-156
LABEL: Sunday Drive

“Dance Finite” may pulse with bright, dance-ready rhythms, but there’s a moody, shadowed core running beneath it—a beauty in the darkness. Coming out of California’s valley and led by songwriter Brandon Olds alongside Coleman Elliot, Jules Trifan, and Kaeleb Dummar, Dance of Days deliver a modern take on ’80s new wave and post-punk while naturally carrying the attitude of California punk. On their debut album, D.O.D. wear their influences openly: Peter Hook (New Order) style bass lines, the dark and heavy electronics of Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy, and the band name pulled from D.C. hardcore band, Embrace.

“Dance Finite” is an eight-track wave of apathy and gloom; heavy in emotion but still makes you want to move.

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.

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

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

Love Cry "Planting Bombs"

CDEP - $7.00
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: SDR-153
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Long Island has always carried a distinct sound within hardcore, post-hardcore, and alternative music in general. The sound is inherently in Love Cry’s DNA. On their debut EP, “Planting Bombs”, the band expands on that foundation with a diverse mix of influences.

Songwriter Gerry Windus, who grew up on Long Island and played in various local bands, takes a different approach here. With Love Cry, he merges the electronic textures of The Postal Service with the raw, noisy edge of Neutral Milk Hotel, with a foundation of Long Island staples like Nightmare of You and Silent Majority.

Though “Planting Bombs” is Love Cry’s first release, the songwriting is already confident with a clear sense of identity, and one that feels refreshingly distinct.

fawn "Paper Thin"

LP - $16.60

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.

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

Starling "Forgive Me,"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 7/18/25
CAT#: SDR-135
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Confusion, frustration, love and loss are all expressed throughout the first album, “Forgive Me,” from Los Angeles alternative band, Starling. Written over the course of about a year, the LA band recorded themselves in various sheds, apartments, and garages. The record was mixed by drummer, Erik Sathrum Johnson, artwork was shot by the band and their friends, and then mastered by Greg Obis (MJ Lenderman, Wishy, Duster).

Songs like “Quiet” start off with a slow and delicate melody, and then explode in sound halfway through. The guitars in the song were recorded in the middle of summer in a garage with no AC—a physically intense, almost spiritual experience that bleeds into the recording. The lead single, “I Can Be Convinced” is a sad and yearning song, with a need to be still; yet ironically, it’s one of the most upbeat songs on the record.

The album closes with the nearly seven-minute “Keep It” a track Starling had been performing since early 2024. Lyrically charged with frustration, it builds tension through eerie, hushed verses that give way to a loud, distorted chorus—showcasing the band’s ability to channel emotion through dynamic contrast.

With “Forgive Me,” Starling has crafted a deeply personal and fully DIY record, shaping every sonic detail themselves. The result is an album where every melody, rhythm, and raw feeling is intentionally placed and unmistakably theirs.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Quiet
02. I Can Be Convinced

Fake Eyes "Saccharine Scream"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 12/13/24
CAT#: SDR-130
LABEL: Sunday Drive

"Saccharine Scream" is an LP that almost didn't see the light of day. Written and recorded around 2020--2021, it features some of Fake Eyes' best songs to date. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the record was temporarily shelved until early 2024, when the band revisited it with renewed determination to release it and return to performing and writing.

Throughout the ten tracks, Paul Vuksanovich, Grey Peters, Alexa Finley, and Stephanie Wesner craft a cohesive and dynamic record. Vocally, Paul is in top form. The mix showcases vocals more prominently than any previous Fake Eyes EP, with Paul delivering rhythmic hooks on nearly every song, complemented by thoughtful, often poetic lyrics.

Sonically, Fake Eyes build upon the foundation established in their earlier records--drawing inspiration from bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Hum--while achieving a more layered, expansive sound. This evolution is particularly evident on standout tracks like "Butterfly Boy" and "Never Speak."

The album closes with "An Astronaut Song," an atmospheric piece with a hint of twang. It's a distinctive finale that the band executes masterfully, rounding off the record in an unexpected yet fitting manner.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Understated
02. Saccharine Scream
