STREET DATE: 7/18/25
CAT#: QP017
LABEL: Quiet Panic

From San Diego California Sledges is a four piece Alt-metal/Heavy-shoegaze band that blends genres like Grunge, Metal, Shoegaze, Emo/Post-Hardcore, and alternative to craft songs with catchy hooks and big riffs. The band's goal is to create emotional/ heavy songs that you can sing along to. Sledges is Philly Gomez (vocals and guitar), Alex Angulo (bass), Julian Romero (guitar), Mason Haidar (drums) Sledges’ origin starts in mid 2020 taking place in the area of Chula Vista California. From the boredom and freetime during the pandemic Sledges started as a three piece and wasted no time writing original material. During 2020 Sledges recorded and released their first single “Melting Lives” which helped them start playing shows in San Diego and grow a local fan base. The group recorded and released more singles throughout 2021-2023 and added a fourth member to play lead guitar. Some notable singles during that time include “Headwinds” (2022) and “Disgusting” (2023).

In mid 2023 Sledges began to record their EP Losing Pace with Mike Kamoo who engineered, mixed and mastered it at Earthling Studios. Losing pace is a four track EP that is catchy and ambitious yet heavy. The group took inspiration from bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Nothing, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Hum with its heavy but lush wall of guitars while adding their own flavor. Sledges experimented with acoustic guitars, melodic choruses, drum samples and My Bloody Valentine-esque leads. The group wanted to simply write strong songs that can stand on their own. Singer/songwriter Philly Gomez says Losing Pace is about a period when he felt broken from the struggles of balancing life and in the process realizing you are falling apart. With heartfelt lyrics and contagious riffs, Losing Pace was released on May 2nd 2024. With great reception the EP led the band to get signed by the label Quiet Panic and open for larger bands like From Autumn to Ashes, and Ringo Deathstarr.

DROUGHT "Souvenir"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 724399772774
STREET DATE: 07/18/25
CAT#: IOD-88
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

While many hardcore bands focus their fury outward, Drought turns inward—channeling personal struggle to chart a different path. Formed in 2022, the Bay Area band—guitarists Eric Nakano and RJ Rabe, drummer Ray Avila, and vocalist Viggy Ram—found common ground in shared influences like Pianos Become the Teeth, mewithoutYou, and Title Fight to overcome personal hardships and isolation. After recording a three-song EP in 2022, Drought brought their emotionally charged live shows to stages alongside Jeromes Dream and vs self before catching the attention of Iodine Recordings.

Now, Drought returns with Souvenir, recorded to tape by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away) at Atomic Garden Studios. The result? Souvenir sounds less like a debut and more like an established act. These thirteen songs channel moods and emotion with conviction, shaped by years of perspective. Guest vocals from Patrick Flynn (Fiddlehead/Have Heart), Eric Butler (Mom Jeans), and Alex Rudenshiold (Infant Island) lend further weight to Souvenir, weaving with the band’s dynamic arrangements and situating the record firmly in the evolving world of post-hardcore and emo. Against a background of balanced melody and dissonance, Viggy Ram’s lyricism is as introspective as it is existential, as he sings on the first single ‘We’re the Flora’: “They say all flowers in time bend toward the sun, so when I find the light, what will I become?”

Souvenir arrives July 2025 via Iodine Recordings.

As The Sun Sets "Untitled Discography"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 603111749815
STREET DATE: 07/18/25
CAT#: IOD-25
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

As The Sun Sets formed in Providence, Rhode Island in 1998 and quickly became a household name throughout New England as they developed their brand of brutal and chaotic music. Well known for their live performances, As The Sun Sets were a spectacle, and often dangerous, act to witness live, which would ultimately be what they were most remembered for. They delivered blistering and abrasive metallic hardcore that incorporated elements of noise, grindcore, metal, and math rock.

Although short lived, As The Sun Sets recorded three records from 1999-2002 before breaking up. The records were known not only for their short, technical, and heavy songs, but also their interludes which included piano tracks, atmospheric drone, and experimental noise, all of which stitched the album into a unique and diverse listening experience that broke up the harshness of their music. The band toured throughout the East Coast and Midwest and shared the stage with many notable acts such as: Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, American Nightmare, Pig Destroyer, and Hatebreed. Though their career as a band was brief, their music would eventually become highly influential in the heavy music scene.

All tracks were remixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, God City) and remastered by producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Amenra). Now with all new artwork, As The Sun Sets’ complete recorded works will be available for the first time on vinyl.

“They're as intense as any record in this genre you'll ever hear. Everything about this album is intense, in fact. The guitars absolutely rip, the drums pound relentlessly, and the vocals are absolutely ear-shredding.” - KERRANG!

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
03. My Love
04. 25
05. No Frown
06. Slow Down

Commoner "Change of Heart"

12" EP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 7/11/25
CAT#: NMZ083
LABEL: New Morality Zine

Tucson’s Commoner returns with their latest EP, a three-song journey through transition, escape, and resolution. Blending emo, alternative, and post-hardcore, the band delivers a raw, dynamic sound that balances intensity with vulnerability.

"Change of Heart" captures the ache of shifting relationships and the distance that grows between people: “I run in circles to remind you, you stray away, without a trace.” "Test Your Luck" reflects the desperation of feeling trapped and the moment of breaking free: “Breathe taken again, to the end I’ll pray, know where to aim, shoot right through me.” Finally, "Parting Gift" closes the EP with a cathartic release of resentment, confronting the past with unflinching honesty: “I’ll wait for you to tell me how you’re different, so speak your truth, but I can’t stand the distance.”

Working with producer Zach Tuch (Touche Amore, Knocked Loose, Zulu), Commoner has refined their sound, leaning into soaring melodies, tight rhythms, and an emotional weight that lingers. Influenced by bands like Citizen, Movements, and Incubus, they carve out a space that feels both nostalgic and fresh. With their high-energy live shows and a relentless drive, this is just the beginning.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Test Your Luck
02. Change of Mind
03. Parting Gift

All Leather "Amateur Surgery On Half-Hog Abortion Island"

2xLP - $22.50
STREET DATE: 7/11/25
CAT#: 31G151
LABEL: Three One G

ALL LEATHER is the soundtrack to a dance party at the epicenter of doom and destruction: heavy distortions, sharp, grating guitars, bitter, angry shouts fused with sexual slurs. In the span of its limited time as an active band, All Leather consisted of Nathan Joyner (Psychic Graveyard, Some Girls, Hot Nerds) on guitar, either Jung Sing (Silent, Maniqui Lazer) or Tin Cagayat on drums, and Justin Pearson (The Locust, Deaf Club, Dead Cross) on vocals. The genre is self-described as, bluntly stated: “annoying.”

This anthology, titled Amateur Surgery on Half-Hog Abortion Island (in classic All Leather fashion), is a complete collection of their odd and brief existence. All of the songs in this collection have been either re-recorded, recorded over, and/or revamped, presenting an invigorated vision to their body of music. This re-imagining showcases All Leather’s unique perspective in the only way they know how: with snarling grit and electronic grime.

Amateur Surgery On Half-Hog Abortion Island recorded by Mike Kamoo at Earthling, Brent Asbury at Singing Serpent, and Nathan Joyner at Cereal and Soda in San Diego, CA. Mixed, remixed, and mastered by Nathan Joyner. Pressed on limited edition color vinyl w/ faux leather cover.

Pygmy Lush "TOTEM"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $7.00 / CASSETTE - $7.00.
STREET DATE: 7/11/25
CAT#: VIS024
LABEL: Persistent Vision

TOTEM is the first new album from Virginia's Pygmy Lush in 14 years. Like their previous output, it was recorded and mixed by longtime friend and collaborator of the band, Kurt Ballou, at GodCity Studio in Massachusetts in April 2016. And as with their other three full lengths, Pygmy Lush — the band sworn to never break up, only take breaks — is readily recognizable here: a bit different, and a bit the same. Unlike their earlier work though, TOTEM sat (or stood, fully formed and erect) complete, yet unheard — unreleased, “shelved” or “lost” — until now.

As sure as you can’t unring a bell, the album’s 11 songs are no less than eight years old, but couldn’t be unmade short of direct and total cataclysm. If you already know Pygmy Lush and their modus operandi over these last two decades, you already know to check your baggage and leave all expectations behind. When others zig, Pygmy Lush zag. When the show is loud, Pygmy Lush are quiet. And so it goes. TOTEM is no exception, but also stands alone within the band's body of work, a monolithic sum of its Pygmy Lush parts.

The Taylor brothers, Mike and Chris, are here, as is Pygmy Lush mainstay Mike Widman. You won’t find Johnny Ward this go around, but life partners and rhythm section extraordinaires Andy Gale and Erin McCarley are crucial new tiers among the seismic sonic and cosmic shifts coursing through TOTEM’s roughly 40 minute — epic yet direct — running time.

The result is a heavy rock album that’s actually aware of the 21st century: all-at-once comfortable with its punk rock, noise rock and art rock roots. It’s a grunge stunt pedigree, signaling the puddles of drool pooling around snooze gaze contemporaries and an altogether beat hardcore flock.

Chris Taylor’s melodic bark hasn’t been this nimble since his post-Pageninetynine output with Malady, while the Mike’s — Taylor and Widman — dish out a heady maelstrom of strings on par with Moore and Renaldo’s finest foundational moves. Similarly, Erin McCarley’s low-end verve and rationed vocals are transcendent; unmistakably her own while of a piece with the band. Andy Gale can and does beat the shit outta his kit here: disciplined and certain. There’s no rules, just right.

Matching its expansive sonics and lacerating lyrical content, TOTEM is also a feast for your eyes, compliments of new sculptural artwork designed by Paul Nitsche, whose epic pieces have graced past work for Dazzling Killmen and Andrew Bird. This gorgeously packaged LP comes in a matte jacket with copper foil stamp and includes a foldout poster with collaged lyrics.

Following an unexpected return to live performance in late 2024 with their memorable set on NPR's Tiny Desk, then their international debut at Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands, Pygmy Lush have resumed their eternal whirr full force. Whether you’ve been saving a place at home for TOTEM, on your shelves alongside their Bitter River, Mount Hope and Old Friends albums, or, this is the very first piece to construct your own personal Pygmy Lush puzzle, the band and this album’s timeline are a “Nonsensical Whisper” that continues to rip and roar. The sound is immortal, and these tunes are as vital now as their first time ringing out. Tell your grandkids it’s Nirvana, or Born Against, or Document 13 and a half.

TRACK LISTING:
01. House of Blood (Butch’s Monster)
02. It Wasn’t a Compliment (Martial Law Blues)
03. A Little Boy and His Bulldozer
04. Algorithmic Mercy (Prayers Printed Directly into a Shredder)

Denisa is an artist/musician from Jakarta, Indonesia.

St. Bernadette" is her beautifully melancholic sophomore album. Comprised of ten emotional songs that serve as vignettes on mortality and existential perseverance.

"This second album pictures a memorial. Starts at birth, then from being a rotten kid to a filthy adolescent, the crud of falling in love, clawing the sickening paths of filling the cavity, cheating death, accepting failing death, and becoming fearless of the afterlife - all in one memorandum. These records do not tell a full-blown novel-like story but rather little parts of existence that make me feel big. I am big, I am a great bear, and I’ve conquered existence. I have not dug out my grave, I laid still in it and soaked in the grim, the penance, and the light(s) at the end of the tunnel." - Denisa Dhaniswara

Joliette "Pérdidas Variables"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 6/20/25
CAT#: VIS026
LABEL: Persistent Vision

Described by BrooklynVegan as "a raw-yet-beautiful dose of screamo," Joliette has been an unstoppable force in the Mexican scene since 2011.

On the upcoming new album, “Pérdidas Variables,” the band's debut for Persistent Vision, the quartet takes the urgency of scene heroes like Saetia and Raein and laces it with the brooding, post-metal grandeur of Neurosis or Cult of Luna. While some bands in the genre use sloppiness as their medium, wielding chaos to convey emotional fragility, Joliette moves as steadily as a freight train.

The rhythm section of Hugo Madrid and Matías Acuña bangs and growls in perfect, propulsive unity, while the guitars of Gastón Prado and Juan Pablo Castillo combine into apocalyptic storm clouds of sound. Screaming in his native Spanish, Gastón Prado's earnest voice transcends language barriers. Loud in the mix, his raspy pleas demands attention as they transmit universal angst.

“Pérdidas Variables” is an album inspired by Joliette's hometown. "It’s a meditation on Mexico City," states Juan Pablo Castillo, "as both a physical space and a psychological one, a place constantly shifting under your feet, full of layers, ruins, and noise. The lyrics are rooted in very real fears, earthquakes, collapse, systems failing, but they’re also about the quiet, daily sense of disconnection and mourning that urban life can bring. Each song looks at a different fragment of that experience."

“Pérdidas Variables” was recorded by Matías Acuña and Fernando G. Esteve, mixed by Hugo Madrid, and mastered by Paolo Riffo. The LP comes packaged in full color jacket with limited vinyl options.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Todos Pierden
02. Arsénico
03. Limítrofe
04. Cielo Sordo
05. L'uomo Mangia la Mela
06. Pérdida Variable
07. Nimbus
08. Gris Protagónico

MARKETING POINTS:

• Performing relentlessly across its native Mexico, Joliette has previously also toured the UK and Europe, Central and South America, the United States, and Canada.
• Joliette returns to Europe in May 2025, including shows with Respire and La Quiete.
• Follows up to several past releases including their last EP on Zegema Beach Records.

dawn is Thin’s 14-track debut LP, which Decibel Magazine described as a “cover-to-cover assault on the brain”. Clocking in at just under 16 minutes, dawn barely gives the listener time to realize what hit them. Despite the short run time, the album incorporates a variety of riffs, blasts, breakdowns, and shrieks that toe the line between mathcore and grind.

dawn was tracked and mixed by Scot Moriarty, at Backroom Studios, in Rockaway, NJ, and was mastered by Brad Boatright, at Audiosiege, in Portland, OR. Originally released on April 20, 2020, and pressed to cassette in the US and Europe (Lower Class Kids Records), Dawn is seeing new life in the form of a one-sided 12”LP, along with a repress of the tape, on Twelve Gauge Records.

Spite House "Spite House"

LP - $17.90
STREET DATE: 06/20/25
CAT#: NMZ052
LABEL: New Morality Zine

SPITE HOUSE is one of those bands born out of intuition. Vocalist Maxime Lajoie (guitar and vocals) cites the unexpected death of his mother as the spark to dig into his desire to sing for a band and ignite an old idea between former friend and schoolmate Marc Tremblay (drums). Shortly after, the two had fallen into a cohesive writing rhythm of tracks bearing influences such as Samiam, Jawbreaker and Seaweed with a modern flair. The band’s sonic trajectory was cemented with the inclusion of Nabil Ortega (bass), who also shared a mutual love for the band’s list of influences.

The band has wasted no time. Since their inception they have hit the ground running and have been hungry to create. In February, the band released their “3 Song Promo” that caught mention and interest ranging from casual music fans to the ears of music journalists at places such as BrooklynVegan. What was heard on these promo tracks is reinforced on their upcoming LP, “Spite House”. The LP boasts 10 full post-hardcore tracks shaped by modern introspection and the curiosities of life. While this is Max Lajoie’s first time fronting a band, lyrically and vocally he delivers. Max’s wide vocal stylings offer listeners a glimpse into the emotions put into each line and driven home by the musicianship of the band as a unit.

Track Listing:
01. Awake
02. Deep Enough
03. Gravity
04. Essence
05. Dying Leaves
06. Out of Luck
07. Melt
08. Hope

Cash Bribe "Demonomics"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 06/13/25
CAT#: FLR002
LABEL: QP Distro

Brooklyn-based heavy rock and rollers Cash Bribe are releasing their third EP "Demonomics" on Futureless Records. This EP is their first with Futureless, and displays a band that is louder, tighter, and more pissed off.

“Demonomics” is the follow-up to 2023’s “Escape From New York”, which was released on Fanxdangxo Records. This new EP boasts songwriting that is more refined while also honing a more savage attack, complimented by ripping production courtesy of Zach Miller (ex-Gel) at Landmine Studios in Ewing, NJ – where hardcore acts like Gel, Year of the Knife, and 25 Ta Life have also recorded.

On “Demonomics”, Cash Bribe upgrade their arsenal for waging sonic war, with songs like the title track and ‘Faith Aversion’ incorporating meaner metallic riffs into the attack – going heavier while continuing to channel the influence of mid-period Black Flag and the noisy heavy hardcore of bands like Cursed and Blacklisted. The band also tries new things, like the low-tuned fuck-off rock’n’roll of ‘Bay of Pigs.’

Lyrically, “Demonomics” focuses on the unjust weight the billionaire class holds on our lives, and the ways and methods used by those who imagine themselves to be our ‘betters’ in keeping regular people distracted and mollified.

Cash Bribe was formed in Brooklyn in 2019, with an early lineup of the band recording and releasing its debut EP "Facemask City" in January 2022. The current lineup of CB released its second album “Escape From New York” in 2023 on its own record label to praise from reviewers, with it being featured as one of Bandcamp’s ‘New and Notable’ and receiving single premieres from Metal Injection and Decibel Magazine.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Feral
02. Bay of Pigs
03. Death Tax
04. Demonomics

Bloodhorse "A Malign Star"

LP - $17.25
LP UPC: 724399772798
STREET DATE: 05/30/25
CAT#: IOD-86
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

The long awaited sophomore LP from Boston’s Bloodhorse. Featuring members of: American Nightmare, The Red Chord, and All Pigs Must Die

‘A Malign Star’ is a reckoning—a raw, relentless journey through doubt, defiance, and the eerie spaces in between. From crushing riffs that pay tribute to self-destruction to compositions steeped in imperial dread, each track carves out its own space in the chaos. There's a biting critique of pettiness and alienation, an eerie drift through half-waking nightmares, and a full-throttle push to the brink of speed and control. If you like it fast, dark, and just a little self-aware of its own doom, you’re in the right place.

"Bloodhorse might be the best kept secret in the world of post-metal/stoner-rock (with a touch of hardcore/punk). Their execution as a beast of a three piece is downright awe-inspiring. Massive riffs, clean songwriting, and perfectly balanced instrumentation. Absolutely essential for fans of the genre.” - Lambgoat

01. Saboteur
02. A Malign Star
03. Shallowness
04. The Somnambulist
05. House Of Burden
06. Illumination
