Red Scare Industries has shared news of two new EPs.

First, The Lillingtons are back with Can Anybody Hear Me? (A Tribute To Enemy You) on April 30, a tribute to the late David Jones. Chris Matulich (Enemy You/Nothington) handled layout and design of the record.

Second, Sam Russo has followed his 2020 album, Back to the Party, with a new EP called Refuse to Lose. With Russo's 2020 album release plans cancelled by the pandemic, the new EP gives some of those songs a full-band treatment recorded with Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio) on bass. The EP released last week.
