LA punk rockers Sweet Gloom have just announced their sophomore release No Love Lost. The announcement comes with the first video/single for their song “Box Dye”. Sweet Gloom released their debut album on Mike Park’s Asian Man Records but have migrated to the woman-owned independent Sneak Dog Records label for this one. 

Lead guitarist Avery Okamura has joined the original lineup of bassist Chris Clark, drummer Morris Carrillo and crooner Jaake Margo- formerly of San Jose pop punks Get Married. This expansion from power trio to 4 piece has resulted in what they describe as a “rawer and more blown out” sound. The 10-track full-length is slated for release on August 21st.
