Hassan I Sabbah | Untitled
‘Untitled’ serves as the defining document of Hassan I Sabbah, archiving all of the known recordings, photographs, and show posters, which took years to find and collect. Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge) and remixed/remastered by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden. The release is complete with a 12-page retrospective zine with thoughts and reflections from the band on their short history (Oct 1999-Aug 2000).
Love Letter | Everyone Wants Something Beautiful
New England has always served as a breeding ground for some of the most passionate voices in hardcore. Feat. members of Verse and Defeater, Love Letter are the latest to join this esteemed lineage. Everyone Wants Something Beautiful is an open window into insecurity and self-awareness. It is a deep-dive into generational trauma, its different forms, and the ways it can be projected onto others.
DROUGHT | EP
DROUGHT believes a better world is possible. The Bay Area band pulls inspiration from their personal lives and the spaces they inhabit, harkening back to the intimate DIY spaces where communities are built and confessional songwriting meets crowds that take part in their emotional catharsis. Their debut EP embodies the best of the classic post-hardcore spirit.
Her Head's on Fire | Strange Desires
Strange Desires has moments reminiscent of the best of late 80s New Wave and early 90s indie and post-hardcore, there are mutations that are definitely strange and poetic—in the best possible way. Co-Produced by Jason Narducy (Superchunk, Sunny Day Real Estate) and Mixed by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr).
Stretch Arm Strong | The Revealing
After nearly two decades, kings of posi-hardcore Stretch Arm Strong are back with a pipebomb of an EP. With six songs clocking in at under fifteen minutes, the EP’s brevity is a testament to the lightning in a bottle Stretch Arm Strong captured by taking the stage once more. It’s a release that’s worthy of the band’s exceptional discography, and a record that can only exist with a once-in-a-lifetime friendship and focus that the band has.
NØ MAN | Glitter and Spit
D.C.’s NØ MAN is a necessary and much-needed voice in modern hardcore. The four-piece punk band has been alchemizing the personal and the political from the jump. Composed of members from Majority Rule, the band’s current aims go hand-in-hand with their past, sonically and thematically. Glitter and Spit is the band’s third full-length LP, solidifying their furious hardcore into a weapon of a record.
