Grizzlor are back in action with a new 4-song EP, Coolness Factor 6, out today on Learning Curve Records/Hermit Cave Records.

The New Haven, CT band have several EPs, splits, and the Destructoid full-length (Hex Records, 2017) to their name already.

The new EP delivers four noise-punk jams with big angular riffs, barked vocals, and fuzzed out guitars that bring out pained, aggressive emotions with an underlying experimental bent.

Give a listen:

SPB is pleased to team up with Wolves and Vibrancy Records to share “Maelstrom” from the upcoming new record by Colored Moth, DIM.

The Berlin-based band will release DIM on August 29, a follow-up to 2016’s Fragmenting Tensions. The thirteen song record continues the band’s powerful, calculated and chaotic blend of noise rock, post-hardcore, and screamo that is alternately fierce and unhinged but with tempered emotion.

Check out “Maelstrom” now:

Coming on June 21, Cyberplasm will release a new LP to the world titled The Psychic Hologram.

The band pulls from a diverse influence, mixing noise punk guitars, atmospheric drum processors, and furiously shouted vocals for a blistering belt of hardcore that’s both perfectly suited to the genre while simultaneously destroying it.

The band will be on tour this fall in support of the new record. Pre-orders are available from Iron Lung.

Give a listen to the 11-song record here:

A new festival, the T1 Festival, will run on NOvember 8-9 in Joliet, featuring several Illinois punk bands playing to raise funds for the JDRF, (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). The event was organized by Jim Costanzo who was inspired after his nephew was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The two-day event features several notable names, including Brendan Kelly, Flatfoot 56, Smoking Popes, The Lillingtons, 88 FIngers Louie, The Brokedowns, Dan Vapid & The Cheats, and more.

The sludge project known as Ledge will release its second LP on August 30 via Translation Loss Records. Titled All I Hope For, the sophomore release follows a complex, angry theme that was penned by frontman and project masterming John Hoffman, formerly of Weekend Nachos.

The concept for All I Hope For is a journey along the mind process of someone who is feeling so hateful that they could blow up the world and end the human race," Hoffman says of the record. "There are songs that touch on feeling alienated, misanthropic and fed up, and there are a few songs that specifically illustrate observations of entitled hypocrites as well as neglectful and abusive drug addicts. On a daily basis I struggle with living amongst the scum I write about and in a large way this album details my own fantasies of destroying them."

The album was recorded and mixed by Andy Nelson and mastered by Brad Boatright.

Reunions returned with a new LP, their first long-player, tited Winer Hear, Summer Skin yesterday. The self-released record continues the band's blend of classic emo/punk by way of San Francisco.

The new record was written and recorded over a two year period and follows-up two prior EPs.

HR, best known as the vocalist of Bad Brains, will return with a new solo album dubbed Give Thanks on Oct. 18.

The new reggae album focuses on themes of gratitude and unity and will be issued by Hardline Entertainment. Limited edition vinyl is available in several colors, which will be hand-numbered and signed by HR.

In 2019, Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures celebrates 4 years since its release.

First released in 1979, the band is marking the occasion by collaborating with a variety of film directors to re-image in the music in the context of 2019. Visual coordinator Warren Jackson has commissioned a short film for each track on the album, which will be released throughout the year. "I Remember Nothing," directed by Helgi and Hörður kicks things off:
