CAT#: FL004
LABEL: QP Distro

Emerging from the depths of Southern California's underground, I WILL DESTROY YOU release their debut EP, Dead Before Dawn - a six-track descent into shadowy, synth-driven soundscapes and crushing metallic force in the vein of Dance With the Dead, Carpenter Brut, TOKYO ROSE.

Formed by San Diego music veterans with roots in punk, metal, and electronic scenes featuring members of Amenity, B-Side Players, Hauntu, Ilya, Audio Addiction, and Crushed on You - the band channels influences ranging from horror film scores to 1980s dance music, forging a sound that is both cinematic and confrontational. The result is a genre-blurring collision of darkwave, synthwave, and industrial-leaning heaviness that feels as immersive as it is unrelenting.

Snow Halo "The Sun Melts the Moon"

CD - $7.00
STREET DATE: 5/26/26
CAT#: SDR-163
LABEL: Sunday Drive

While Pensacola, FL may not be the first destination that comes to mind for music discovery, it’s home to a dedicated group of individuals who create with intention and care, including the members of Snow Halo. Formed in 2024, the band debuted with a self-released EP and features members of Kairo, Glazed Eyes, and Statement of Pride. With Snow Halo, the group shifts toward a sound rooted in ’90s alt-rock, drawing influence from bands like Swervedriver, Hum, Failure, and Catherine Wheel.

“The Sun Melts the Moon” follows the band’s 2025 split EP with Kairo and finds Snow Halo refining that sound into a sharp and focused, 4-track EP. Songwriter and vocalist Ryan Henderson brings a distinct, gritty vocal style that sets the band apart from both their influences and many of their contemporaries working in similar territory, all layered over dense guitar fuzz and melodic textures. Standout track ‘Infinity Pool’ closes with an additional remix by South Florida’s own Alovesopure.

See You Next Tuesday are a grindcore band from suburban Michigan. The quartet was founded for a laugh in 2004, but quickly built a serious following that led to an eventual signing with Ferret Music and the release of the band's scathing debut album, Parasite, in early 2007. After a hiatus in 2010, the band reformed/regrouped in 2022, releasing a series of albums, including an electronic forward remix album and a drum swapping collaborative double EP.

CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP (aka Chop7Times) is a one man noisegrind act from New Haven, CT. Blending digital drums and bass, walls of harsh noise, and violent screams, Chop7Times has been tearing a path up and down the east coast since 2019.

This collaborative release is based off of a book entitled The Brothers’ War, a 1998 fantasy novel by Jeff Grubb; it is the first book in the Magic: The Gathering: Artifacts Cycle, detailing the epic conflict between brothers Urza and Mishra on the world of Dominaria. The book explores the origins of Urza and the magical and technological arms race that leads to cataclysmic events. For the album, side A, See You Next Tuesday’s Chris Fox wrote his lyrics based on the perspective of the Brother Urza, while Chop wrote his lyrics from Mishra's perspective for side B.

Brothers was produced, engineered and mixed by Drew Slavik. Mastered by Jeff McKinnon at Controlled Sound Studios. It will be released by Sundown Records.

Mad Honey "Bridge Over Cumberland"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.00 / CASSETTE - $8.00
LP UPC: 641956287697
CD UPC: 641956287703
CASSETTE: 641956287710
STREET DATE: 5/15/26 (Digital) / 06/19/26 (Physical)
CAT#: DW269
LABEL: Deathwish Inc. / Sunday Drive

Our connections with those around us are inherently transient, yet we often find ourselves defined by them. And if we find ourselves defined by these connections, what are we left with when they inevitably come to an end? This is arguably the central question of “Bridge Over Cumberland”, which marks a bold step forward for Mad Honey, as the Oklahoma City band’s second full-length release on Deathwish Inc. and Sunday Drive Records is confident, assured, and undoubtedly their most complete work to date.

Debuting in 2018, Mad Honey quickly became one of the buzziest acts in the prolific OKC shoegaze scene, with lead vocalist Tuff Sutcliffe’s poignant lyricism serving as an enigmatic centerpiece. For this album, the band’s most collaborative effort yet, the production allows Sutcliffe’s shadowy presence to stand tall against a backdrop of billowing guitars. The eleven tracks unfold as a series of snapshots tracing the silhouettes of heartaches both platonic and romantic, both quotidian and cosmic. The intrinsic tension of codependency is explored in the couplet of “Somehow” and “Past Together Isn’t Presence”, as the former opens with Sutcliffe sardonically lamenting “the way that I miss him, I should be put down” while in the latter, the other party is the one who is pining. Anyone who has dealt with the ending stages of a fading friendship or a moribund romance will find something to relate to here, whether it’s the curse of inauspicious timing and the ground that the connection was built on seemingly shifting underneath your feet in the propulsive “James Gets His Rose” or “Moshfeghian” examining the question of whether it’s possible for anyone to win in these situations against the backdrop of a dooming, droning guitar riff.

From the opening track “I Am a Wall, I Am a House”, there’s a recurring motif of exploring our connections through the structures we inhabit. These structures often stand tall across multiple generations, persisting well beyond the fleeting lives of the people who have built and occupied them. How many breakups have the walls of our houses seen over the years? How many failed talking stages have left people curled up on the floors of their apartments? How long does a trace of a former friend’s presence linger in the fabric of your curtains after they’ve left your place for the last time? Do these structures judge us on how long we take to pick up the pieces of our lives and find ourselves once again in the aftermath of losing someone who served as a prism through which we viewed the world and our place in it?

This all culminates in the towering title track to close out the album, which surely stands as Mad Honey’s most notable achievement thus far. In it, we survey the waning embers of a fire which once burned bright. The bed is greening over. Sutcliffe is burning every bridge, but keeping the ordinary, pedestrian moments which ultimately define our lives. She’s pondering whether her dreams lie in the Tennessee hills where she grew up, rather than the Oklahoma plains where she currently resides. By the time a gentle piano denouement carries us to the conclusion of the song cycle, we’re left with the sense that in spite of Sutcliffe so often finding herself unmoored and dealing with all of the ways in which deep feelings seemingly define us and threaten to destroy us when an important interpersonal dynamic comes to its inescapable conclusion, there’s ultimately a quiet conviction that all of this emotional pain can eventually result in hard-won growth. “Bridge Over Cumberland” therefore suggests that if you define yourself by these connections, what you are left with when they come to their inevitable end is a crossroads, both a risk of self-destruction and an opportunity for reinvention. It’s a tense, nervy conclusion, but also an empowering one. And given the accomplishment that this album represents, we can find solace in the fact that this time, reinvention has won out.

Haggard Cat "THE PAIN THAT ORBITS LIFE"

LP - $20.65 / CD - $12.00
STREET DATE: 05/08/26
CAT#: CRR260
LABEL: Church Road

Haggard Cat are a critically acclaimed British post hardcore/alt-rock duo, composed of drummer/backing vocalist Tom Marsh and vocalist/guitarist Matt Reynolds. Both members are seen as core pillars of the UK rock and metal scene, having initially made names for themselves as members of the cult band Heck (formerly Baby Godzilla) who were active from 2009-2017. Haggard Cat started as a side project for Tom and Matt, but soon became their main focus when Heck disbanded in 2017. Haggard Cat’s aim was to maintain the same lawless rock and roll energy that Heck had, but with more of a laser sharp focus on diverse song writing and infectious hooks.

Haggard Cat laid a blueprint of what was to come with their demo record ‘Charger’ in 2013, but it wasn’t until they released their 2018 album ‘Challenger’ (Earache Records) that the band made their first proper musical statement to the world. The record immediately caught the attention of the press, with Metal Hammer describing them as “a balls-out, batshit, rock ’n’ roll freight train”.

The band followed with their second LP ‘Common Sense Holiday’ (Earache Records) in March 2020, right on the cusp of the world coming to a grinding halt. Fortunately the record was still potent enough to cut through the turmoil happening at the time, as Kerrang Magazine would note that “Common Sense Holiday, cemented the duo’s reputation as one of the UK’s premier noisemakers”.

Emerging from lock down, the band didn’t waste any time and immediately set about self-releasing their 2021 EP ‘Cheer Up’, followed by an extensive touring schedule, where the duo melted the faces of audiences anywhere that they set foot on stage. How two people manage to create such a hypnotic racket is truly an impressive feat, and because of this Haggard Cat have managed to garner an incredible reputation as a live band. This reputation has awarded them an impressive gig CV, with blistering sets at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, 2000 Trees and ArcTanGent. They’ve also shared the stage with legendary names such as Dead Kennedys, Enter Shikari, The Bronx, Mutoid Man and many others.

Aside from their electrifying performances, it’s the band's down to earth charm that has won them their audience. When you see Haggard Cat live you will see smiles radiating from both Tom and Matt on stage. This energy is mirrored by the crowd and creates a sense that everyone’s here for the same purpose, to hear some earth shattering rock music and to cut loose together.

For their highly anticipated third full-length album, ‘The Pain That Orbits Life’ , Haggard Cat have teamed up with double Grammy award-winning producer Adrian Bushby to create their most accomplished body of work to date. The album sees the band draw on more progressive influences, featuring sprawling epics and industrial synths along with huge choruses and the more adrenaline-charged moments that they have become well known for.

No Grave "Suffer Together"

LP - $15.30 / CD - $7.00 / CASSETTE - $7.00
STREET DATE: 05/01/26
CAT#: HMR-015
LABEL: Heroes & Martyrs

Forged in the space between discipline and volatility, No Grave operate with a singular intent—channeling the weight of hardcore tradition through a lens that refuses stagnation. Anchored in part by Rich Thurston, whose history spans genre-defining bands such as Culture, Terror, and Blood Has Been Shed, the band carries forward a lineage without being confined by it. On their latest full-length, Suffer Together, the answer becomes clear: this is not a revival—this is an evolution.

Suffer Together is a documentation of loss, betrayal, and suffering, but it’s less a collection of songs and more a controlled detonation built on blunt-force riffs, coiled rhythms, and an undercurrent of melody that cuts deep. No Grave have never sounded this immediate, nor been this locked in. Every passage feels deliberate, every note is earned—music that doesn’t just hit, but lingers.

Emerging from Ohio, No Grave draw from the foundation laid by Turmoil, Earth Crisis, and Poison the Well. What began as a raw, confrontational project has evolved into something far more expansive—without sacrificing the intensity that defined it. Years of refinement, both on record and on stage, have shaped a band that understands exactly where it stands and how far it can push beyond that.

Suffer Together captures a band fully in control of their chaos. Recorded by Shaun O’Shaughnessy at Encore Studios, guitars strike with mechanical precision, drums land with ferocity, and vocals—equal parts command and confession—cut through with unfiltered urgency. The record was mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio (God’s Hate, Internal Bleeding) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Creeping Death), reinforcing its balance of raw immediacy and sonic weight. Tracks such as No Grave and Lord of Envy strike with force, while Unrest and The Silenced—which features Pete Morcey of 100 Demons—offer moments where melody and texture amplify the impact rather than ease it. It’s within this push and pull that the band’s identity takes its clearest form.

For No Grave, Suffer Together isn’t just another entry in the hardcore continuum—it’s a statement of purpose. Lyrically centered on reckoning, resilience, and the refusal to break, the record confronts rather than postures, delivering something immediate and lived-in. It understands where it comes from, but refuses to be confined by it.

TRACK LISTING:
01. No Grave
02. Lord of Envy

Armed for Apocalypse "THE EARTH IS BREATHING BENEATH ME"

LP - $19.40 / CD - $12.00
STREET DATE: 04/24/26
CAT#: CRR57
LABEL: Church Road

‘The Earth is Breathing Beneath Me’ isn’t a metaphor. It’s a realisation that the ground beneath our feet is alive, and we’re all just passengers on its pulse. It’s that hum of dread and wonder that defines Armed For Apocalypse’s fourth full-length album: a towering, grooved-out, post-metal monolith carved from grief, power, and purpose.

Formed in Chico, California between longtime friends Nick Harris (drums) and Cayle Hunter (guitar), Armed For Apocalypse is a what-if turned war machine. Over the years, the band has endured enough shakeups and setbacks to bury most acts: relocations, divorces, day jobs, family changes and not to mention complete lineup overhauls. But where others fractured, AFA sharpened.

Now based in Portland, Oregon, the current lineup consisting of drummer Harris, guitarist/vocalist Nate Burman, bassist Charlie Fischer and vocalist Hunter - the band has found rare continuity and it shows. ‘The Earth is Breathing Beneath Me’, recorded once again with Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, is the sound of a band not just surviving, but thriving in their chaos. The guitars sound raw and intimidating. The drums hit like wrecking balls while the bass shakes the very ground you stand on. Burman’s vocals slice through the noise with a sense of finality - desperate, powerful, unafraid to hope, even while drowning.

“This album is bleak,” the band says. "It’s got dissonance and aggression and every song carries a sense of melancholy and density beneath the surface. But there are also moments of meditation, and even signs of optimism woven in that make it feel like a true reflection of who we are as people.”

Opening track Drown sets the tone, a flag planted deep in the soil, daring you to stay. From there, the band moves with purpose through blast beats, dynamic sludge, ambient stretches, and raw-throated catharsis. This isn’t a genre exercise. It’s a record written by a band with doom and hardcore in their DNA playing sludge, or maybe something else entirely. What it is, more than anything, is honest.

Offstage, the members of AFA have wildly differing interests, from yoga to culinary experimentation. What unites them is more than riffs, it’s brotherhood, therapy, a shared refusal to stop. “We’ve heard it our whole career,” they say. ‘You guys are too nice to be in a heavy band.’ But the music is why we’re happy. It’s how we stay alive.”

The Earth is Breathing Beneath Me isn’t just their best record, it’s their most vital. It’s not here to sell you on a scene or posture for the algorithm. It’s here to crush, connect, and release. If you’re ready for that, they’ll meet you at the edge of the world.

01. DROWN
02. ASHES OF THE NIGHT

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.

Anxious Arms "In the Shadow of the Cross"

LP - $16.60 / CD - $7.00
STREET DATE: 7/10/26
CAT#: SDR-164
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Apathy and failure cover the modern world. “In the Shadow of the Cross“ confronts this reality, capturing humanity at its bleakest and most self-destructive. Nearly a decade after forming, Sacramento’s Anxious Arms continue to evolve, abandoning the remnants of their earlier alternative-rock leanings in favor of something heavier and much darker.

On their second album, the band leans fully into doom and metal, drawing clear influence from Crowbar and Black Sabbath while still carrying the imprint of their Sacramento roots, with lingerings of sounds influenced by Will Haven, Deftones, and Far at the band’s foundation. This version of Anxious Arms feels the most fully realized: a lineup unified in vision. With longtime producer Pat Hills, the band delivers its heaviest material to date, recorded live at Earthtone Studios that presents a raw sound at its core.

Turn of Phrase / Square One "Pale Skies"

7" EP - $8.00
STREET DATE: 4/17/26
CAT#: SDR-161
LABEL: Sunday Drive

While a pale sky evokes beauty, it also feels still. Another ordinary day—a moment to breath, but a need to escape to search for something better. This chasm exists on the split 7” titled, “Pale Skies”. Side A features New York hardcore band, Square One with Side B featuring London hardcore band, Turn of Phrase, thus making this a first co-release, with an unlikely, but sensible paring between Scheme and Sunday Drive Records.

Square One and Turn of Phrase each contribute two new tracks, and their first since their demos released over a year ago. Square One’s ‘The Cycle’ and ‘What’s Real’ are filled with groove only a NYHC band can create, with the likeness of Supertouch or Beyond. Turn of Phrase’s ‘Delirium’ and ‘Still As Sin’ are fast, but full of melody, with palpable energy to dive and shout to; as you would to Lifetime or fellow English band, Leatherface.

“Pale Skies” is for the days you need to breathe and the days that you need to search for the light.

"Free Stickers with Every Order: A History of Hardcore Stickers" by Thomas Rackow

BOOK - $25.65
UPC: 9798994447000
STREET DATE: 04/17/26
CAT#: IOD-P01
LABEL: Iodine Recordings

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.

Demmers "Forced Perspective"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 4/3/26
CAT#: PRO-112
LABEL: Protagonist Music

There is a specific kind of architectural tension that exists in the New Jersey suburbs—a sense of being boxed in by history while staring down an uncertain, industrial horizon. It’s an environment that birthed some of the most visceral hardcore of the last two decades, and it’s the soil from which Demmers has emerged. On their debut full-length, Forced Perspective, the band strips away the distortion of their heavy-music pedigree to reveal something colder, sharper, and deeply haunting.

The album’s lead single, “Say It” serves as the record's mission statement, capturing the weary, mid-tempo angst of Disintegration-era The Cure while maintaining a lean, athletic muscularity. While Demmers clearly counts the monochromatic majesty of The Chameleons and The Sound as north stars, Forced Perspective is no mere exercise in 80s worship. The nine-song collection is informed by the members’ history in the hardcore scene—a past life that manifests here not in volume, but in a relentless velocity and intent that also echoes the emotional weight of Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral.

Recorded with an eye toward sparse arrangements, the record allows for a specific kind of sonic claustrophobia where the vocals hover with a quiet, inward-looking intensity. It is the sound of a band internalizing the bleak urgency of their predecessors and sharpening it into a weapon for the 2020s, resulting in a debut that is as uncompromising as it is introspective.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Love Me Again
02. Say It
03. Turn Away
04. Nothing To Prove
05. Forced Perspective
06. Among The Thorns
07. Stay In The Dimness
08. Flowers
09. Bleeding The Inside

MARKETING POINTS:

• Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by John Naclerio (Brand New, Senses Fail) at Nada Recording Studio
• Art design by Brian Burdzy (Hundreds of AU, Lesser Minds)

SWEAT "Tear It On Down"

LP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 04/03/26
CAT#: VIT077
LABEL: Vitriol Records

SWEAT formed in early 2019 in Los Angeles, CA with the intention to create a distinct take on the bastardization of rock & roll and hardcore. Comprised of members of Graf Orlock, Dangers, Dogteeth, Ghostlimb, and many others, the members (Tuna Tardugno, vocals, Anthony Rivera, drums and Justin Smith, guitar/vocals), have shared collective investment & contribution in the Southern California music scene for 25 years. Over four releases the band has moved through territorial influences that ranged from the Wipers to Cro-Mags, Masshysteri to Rival Mob, and Motorhead to Thin Lizzy, with a sprinkling of disco cadence and a heavy dose of snark.

Blending these genres together seamlessly produces a sound that is at once classic rock while offering a unique heaviness, all tied together with a vocal delivery that acts as a rhythmic accompaniment to the music. The drumming is informed by influences well outside of punk and translates as sorely needed feel and creativity, while the guitars maintain an aggression that only rarely lets up. In 2024 SWEAT released their second full-length LP "Love Child" (on the band's own label Vitriol Records). Love Child takes off where Gotta Give It Up left off.

Tear It On Down was recorded live to tape July 2025 at the Atomic Garden, Oakland, CA. Tracked, Mixed and Mastered by Grammy-nominated Jack Shirley producer/engineer (has worked on Deafheaven, Jeff Rosenstock, Loma Prieta, Jerome’s Dream). It will be released via Vitriol Records on April 3rd, 2026.

TRACK LISTING:
01. A New Love Language
02. Noise is the Solution
03. Surveillance State
04. Smaller Cages Shorter Chains
05. Citta Violenta
06. Displaced
07. Tension
08. Life Sentence
09. Denied Experience
10. Bloodstains
11. Don’t Know Why I Bite

Mallavora "What If Better Never Comes?"

LP - $20.65 / CD - $12.00
STREET DATE: 03/27/26
CAT#: CRR252
LABEL: Church Road

Mallavora are a blazing force in alt-metal, fusing ferocious riffs with elements of R&B, soul, and the rich cultural heritage of vocalist Jessica Douek’s Jewish-Middle Eastern roots. Since emerging in 2020, the band has carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting rising acts in heavy music, with support from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio and acclaimed rock and metal press such as Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Alt Press.

2024 saw the band make their Download Festival debut, undertake their first UK headline tour, and secure huge support slots with powerhouse bands such as Skindred. Following the release of their EP “Echoes”, the band has enjoyed a busy schedule in 2025 - with appearances at 2000trees (main stage) and Alyx Holcombe’s MANTRA showcase.

In recent months, Mallavora have been popping up everywhere, from the stages of Boomtown and Burn It Down Festivals, to the catwalk at London Fashion Week where they provided the soundtrack to Unhidden's latest clothing range. Most recently, you may have heard vocalist Jessica’s incredible vocal abilities in an episode of BBC 1’s The Celebrity Traitors, a star-studded game show that features household names such as Stephen Fry, Alan Carr and Claudia Winkleman. Jess was called upon by the producers of the show to produce 'banshee-like’ wails, demonstrating her vocal range which stretches from beautiful high octave singing to the extremes of fry screaming.

All of Mallavora’s achievements have been leading to this moment: the announcement of their debut album 'What If Better Never Comes?'. Set for release on March 27th 2026 via Church Road Records, this record showcases the band's growth as songwriters and highlights their constant hunger to push the envelope.

"We are so proud to announce the release of our debut album, 'What If Better Never Comes?'. This record is a conceptual exploration of sickness - personal and societal - and it’s given us the space to express our experiences of difference in new and expansive ways. We hope its vulnerability, and the message it carries, brings comfort and catharsis to anyone who’s ever lived inside emotions too complex to name."

01. Prologue

03. Waste
04. Lilith & Esther (feat. banshee)
