The Flatliners share video for new song ‘Souvenir’!

The Flatliners are set to release their highly anticipated album, New Ruin, on August 5th. They’ve already released one single, “Performative Hours,” and they’ve now shared the second, “Souvenir.” Their latest drop brims with a slick chorus that will have you humming for days. Head to FLOOD or our YouTube channel to watch their new video, now! Then, be sure to catch them on tour as they have a whirlwind of dates including Europe, and the U.S. Take a peek at what frontman Chris Cresswell had to say below:

The mind is such a powerful thing – for better or for worse – and this song comes straight from the deep pit anxiety can dig with its help. When a moment’s hesitation can send one spiraling, when the smallest task can stand in the way, when you find it in a place you least expect it, like a souvenir stuffed deep in your drawer, you can let it wash over you or try your best to will it away. “Souvenir” is about finding your footing, even when the ground beneath you can only crumble.

New single from hardcore punks ‘Incisions’!

‘Mine To Lose’ owes as much to Rocket from the Crypt as it does Poison Idea and shows a more considered approach to their songwriting than the frantic 80’s infused hardcore offerings that Incisions are known for since forming 6 years ago.
Following the brutal nihilism of 2021’s ‘BLISS’ LP and recent single ‘Gasoline’, ‘Mine To Lose’ takes you on a journey from the depths of regret through the pain of losing yourself to your vices via a singalong chorus and relentless rhythm section. Whilst the opening lyric cries “it’s torture when I’m coming down” ‘Mine To Lose’ presents a confident band still moving in the right direction.

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.

Incisions are now heading into 2022 with a fresh take on their now established sound and an infamous reputation for their rowdy gigs. Since releasing their debut LP through TNS at the end of 2018, Incisions have played alongside some of the biggest names in Punk (Poison Idea, D.O.A, Adolescents, Drug Church, D.I to name a few) with some well received festival appearances and sold out headline gigs along the way.

Having released their second LP ‘BLISS’ – a nihilistic and brutal assault – 2022 is set to be another busy year for the pride of Manchester. With Jordan now dropping the guitar/vocalist role everyone in the band is now able to focus on their respective duties. As a result, expect the latest incarnation of Incisions to be heavier, angrier, faster, sexier and much more lucrative for the already high-earning band than ever before.

(review) Awkward Reunion – Idiot (SBÄM Records)

Awkward Reunion are from Berlin, Germany and they recently released their brand new record with SBÄM Records who deliver more and more fantastic releases every month. This is the band´s debut full length album and it contains eleven songs of melodic punk rock kinda reminding me of bands such as Jawbreaker and Off With Their Heads, meaning prevailing mid tempo punk rock with raw yet melodic vocals, great harmonies and emotional and heartfelt lyrics that all of us can relate to. I am sure that material from this record goes superb live delivering tons of energy, pumping fists and singing along and feeling that great interrelation between band on stage and crowd practically erasing the imaginative border between those two. My favorites from this record are One And Only, Girl and Hold On Tight. This one is a keeper! Probably one of the best emotional punk rock records that came out this year, and there is still almost half a year left! Great job, strong debut record.
