A new track “Petaluma” debuted yesterday on Kerrang! and is now streaming here.
Keyboardist/vocalist Oobliette Sparks tells Kerrang!, “Petaluma is about reaching a crossroad and realizing after choosing your path, that no matter how fast you run or how far you go, your past will find a way to catch up to you. How you decide to face it when it does is the only real path to finding absolution.”
‘The Spine That Binds’ will be released digitally and on limited edition colored vinyl.

With the long-awaited third full-length release, ‘The Spine That Binds,’ Tsunami Bomb have proven that this latest chapter of the band not only embraces their signature style of aggressive pop-punk supplemented by a touch of darkness but has taken it even further.
Honing their skills of melody while being more in-your-face and more aggressive than ever, they conjure a dark journey of discovery with each track. Originally formed in 1998, and disbanding after many member changes in 2005, TSUNAMI BOMB reformed at the end of 2015.
This new release finds the quintet brought to life with the return of founders Dominic Davi (bass/backing vocals), Oobliette Sparks (keyboards/co-lead vocals), and Gabriel Lindeman (drums). Joined by Kate Jacobi (lead vocals) and Andrew Pohl (guitars/backing vocals), they combine their skills to create a sound that effortlessly mixes dark musings on the search to find one’s place in an increasingly uncaring world, into unforgettable anthems, calling on you to get up and sing-a-long.
Upcoming Shows:
November 2nd – The Fest 18 at the Wooly Club Show in Gainesville, FL

Drei Affen are coming from Spain and they play an interesting mixture of screamo, punk and hardcore. There are 6 songs on this record out with Zegema Beach Records. The overall atmosphere on the record is darkened, with melancholic, sad melodic overtones in the guitars, nervous riffs, blast fast drumming parts and superb screaming vocals which add to the damnation effect of this record. The songs lyrics are in Spanish language so I really can not understand what are they about, but the music speaks for itself. If you are into some apocalyptic darkened screaming emotional hardcore, this one is the right one for you. Recommended songs: Como Un Mar Violento, El Ultimo Aliento.
