Today Scene Point Blank is premiering the debut 7" from Michigan's Ourselves.
The self-titled EP is to be released on Dropping Bombs with pre-orders open here and a planned December release.
Rather than summarize the band here, Eric Scobie of Dropping Bombs explains how it came together.
As a person whose first show was a Quicksand/Seaweed gig in 1993, my eyes definitely perked up when I saw my friend Scott post something last year about looking for people to do a project in the vein of Burn, 411, and of course, Quicksand. Over the next couple months, word spread, people came together, and that idea coalesced into Ourselves. Recorded this summer by Orange 9mm/Collapse drummer Matthew Cross at his new studio Rise Like Lions, the bands’ first recorded output definitely taps into the spirit and urgency of the early-mid 90’s post-hardcore sound.
