Sophomore album, ‘S/t’ set for release September 25th on DAZE. Announce headline tour with support from Madball, 100 Demons, Killing Time and more.

On September 25th, Long Island hardcore band will release their their sophomore album through DAZE. Working with producer Will Putney (Body Count, Incendiary, Counterparts), the band blends old school style with new school swagger across the eleven track album. Having already shared the massive lead single ‘Unforgiven’ they unleash full out fury with new single. The ruthless track boasts rapid rhythms, stomping breakdowns and assertive vocals delivering lines about being divided and conquered. Accompanying the single comes a music video featuring recent live footage of the band created and filmed by Theo Sicurella with extra footage from Danny Dog Pound. Band just announced a North American headline tour starting in Montreal, QC on October 14th and ending in Brooklyn, NY on November 21st at Brooklyn Steel with a special no barricade show. Support comes from hardcore legends and newcomers alike, including Madball, 100 Demons, Killing Time, Contention, Fatal Realm, Mizery and more across different dates. Tickets on sale HERE.

Since forming in 2020, group have had an immense six years – releasing an EP, two splits, and a full-length, and touring across the globe. With their upcoming self-titled album, the band has amplified their sound to new heights. Expect aggressive vocals backed by unified shouts, riffs that move from dirty grooves to electrifying, and drums that provide a pulsating rhythmic backbone made to intensify every mosh part. The lyrics build from a place of resistance, struggle, and drive, attacking the unjust divisions in the world and fighting for a better reality. The band also have a number of festival dates on the horizon this fall including Bloodaxe Festival in Tokyo, Furnace Fest, Sick New World, Flyover Fest, and Vans Warped Tour.
