Irish punks Good Friend have a new EP out now called The Erin Rose EP. Vive le Rock premiered a video already.

Additional label news comes about some 2021 plans, namely new releases from Fleau, an oi/streetpunk band from France, due in March, and a Lillingtons covers EP that may be their last release, according to an email from the label.

The label is also expecting new material from Heart & Lung and The Copyrights later in the year. As a reminder, we streamed the reissue of Heart & Lung's first album. Label honcho Toby shares some similar label news in our annual Pass The Mic feature.

Red Scare Industries (2016)
