(news)Misgivings Release New Single Call It Off

2c6b6bbb-bcd5-4cb4-86eb-a2264ebc4ef1

 Lockjaw Records have announced that Portsmouth’s gruff punks Misgivings will be joining their roster to release their debut album Hermitage.

 

Portsmouth’s Misgivings are a powerhouse of gruff melodic punk rock that will wrap you in riffs and tug at your heartstrings.

Combining the hooks of The Flatliners and the rasp of Leatherface with the gut-wrenching power of Iron Chic, they bring emotion alive with every intricately constructed song.

To celebrate, Misgivings have release a video for their brand new single Call It Off.  

Embraced by the loud, melody-driven South Coast UK punk scene, Misgivings bring a uniquely British edge to an otherwise traditionally North American punk rock sound. Lyrically, Misgivings are rooted in personal and political issues, viewing the world with equal measures of uncertainty and hope, aiming to reward the listener for looking closer. Their raw, emotional approach to rough melodic punk is bound to appeal to fans of Hüsker Dü, Polar Bear Club and The Burnt Tapes.

Originally formed in 2013 by guitarists and vocalists Will Pearce and Ollie Richardson, Misgivings are now completed by drummer Rob Day and bassist Martin Spooner. Since their formation, Misgivings have released series of self-produced EPs and singles, including 2014’s Delete History, 2016’s Elsewhere and a 2016 split single with Szyslak.

Although this is Misgivings’ first release with Lockjaw Records, regular Lockjaw fans may know Will from his work in Sombulance, who released their 2017 EP Lifer via the label last year.

(news-punk)TNSrecords: Incisions join the family and release new single ‘War In Your Head’

TNSrecords are very excited to welcome Incisions to the family. To celebrate they have released a video for the brand new single ‘War In Your Head’.

Manchester is the home of UK DIY punk. If someone tells you otherwise, they’re wrong. Manchester birthed Incisions in 2015 and they’ve been honing the sound since. This is what being young, working class punk in the North of England sounds like. They’ve combined love, lust, liquor and rage, dragging 80s American hardcore through the streets of Manchester.

The anger and desperation at the youth being abandoned by the system is tackled in the first single from their self titled album. Discussing ‘War In Your Head’ guitarist and vocalist Jordan said…

We don’t exclusively hate the tories (but we do  hate ‘em). ‘War In Your Head’ takes a swipe at all the f*ckers that inflict suffering on those they are supposed to stand for. It talks about the consequences of their, completely disconnected from the real world, decision making. There is no glory in fighting other peoples wars for them, and you won’t get any gratitude for it either. They’ll kill us all!

As someone who has spent the last decade much like everyone else hating being lied too under a Tory regime, this song is the anthemic fist raiser we’ve needed! This is a local band that won’t be local for long. This album is looking like its really going to shake things up a bit.

The single is released ahead of the bands debut self titled album which will be released on vinyl and CD by TNSrecords in November.

Incisions are:
Jordan – gtr, vox
Archie – bass, vox
Steab – gtr, vox
Andy – drums

26th Oct: Evil Music Live – The Peer Hat, Manchester
27th Oct: The Blossoms, Stockport
9th Nov: Pie Race Festival, Wharf Chambers, Leeds
1st Dec: Youth Avoiders, Nosebleed, Haest & more – The Palace, Hastings
22nd Dec: Winterfest Facef**k II w/ PizzaTramp & Tim Loud – Old Town House Warrington

Floridian legends Hot Water Music have been around on the scene since 1994. Now, they celebrate their 25th birthday with 2 exclusive shows on which they will play their album Caution from 2002.in its entirety along with many other surprises.

“If anyone would have told us in 1994 that we would be a band for 5 years–let alone 25–we would have never believed them. But here we are—approaching 2019–which will mark the 25th Anniversary of Hot Water Music.

Looking back at all we’ve been through over the years (we’re losing track of how many times the band has broken up now), 1 thing is clear: we couldn’t have done it without our family of supporters. We owe it all to you. Seriously.

You only have one 25th anniversary and we’ve decided to celebrate! For the first time ever, we’ll be playing some full album shows. More specifically, we’ll be doing CAUTION in full on these dates:

22.11.2019 DE – Berlin – Columbiahalle
23.11.2019 DE – Köln – Palladium

We’ll also be playing a ton of other songs and are working on some other cool surprises for these shows. Don’t miss these, they’re going to be something special!
Thank you all for 25 years, here’s to 25 more! HWM”
