SEAWAY
RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO FOR UNRELEASED B-SIDE, BLUR

Canadian pop-punk band Seaway have kicked off their North American “American Vacation Tour” with Trophy Eyes and support acts Microwave, Can’t Swim and Hot Mulligan. In celebration of the North American winter excursion, the band has debuted a new music video for their unreleased b-side track Blur.

“We wrote and recorded Blur at the same time we wrote and recorded Vacation, but when it came time to put everything together we just felt like it didn’t fit with the rest of the songs. However, this track freaking rocks…. so it only made sense to save it for a later release.  The song is basically just about dealing with the crazy ride of being away from home all the time and the toll that takes on you mentally. We love what we do and we know how lucky we are, but sometimes it’s easy to question everything and that’s what this is all about.” – Andrew (guitar)

Seaway’s surprise new b-side from their Vacation album session will be included on an upcoming compilation album that’s due out in 2019. The band continues their worldwide, whirlwind tour in support of their latest record, Vacation out now via Pure Noise Records.

Can’t Swim have released their sophomore album, This Too Won’t Pass, out now through Pure Noise Records / Sony Music Australia. 

BUY THIS TOO WON’T PASS HERE

Congratulations, Christopher Hodge – a new song released from Can’t Swim was streamed exclusively on Billboard.com.

“Congratulations, Christopher Hodge was the last song I wrote before going into the studio,” explains lead vocalist Chris LoPorto.” He is our manager and a longtime friend of mine. He and his wife are having a baby the same month our new record comes out and the title was a way to bless their new family together. We grew up playing music with each other and he is one of the main reasons Can’t Swim exists. We had all the demos done and ready to be recorded when he asked me to write one more song saying “you never know when creativity will strike”. A few days before entering the studio I sat down and wrote the whole song in a few hours and sent it to him. He’s always pushing me to work hard at this band and has believed in it since day one. It made all the sense in the world to name it in honor of him due to the fact he was the sole reason I wrote it.”

This Too Won’t Pass is a brutally honest album made by people for whom music means everything and want their music to mean the same to others. In the ten tracks that make up the album, Can’t Swim are able to articulate our struggles with the people, places and events that continue to shape our lives and scrape our hearts.

During the recording process, LoPorto found himself gravitating towards the meaning of the word ‘evil’; a catch-all word that summarized the malevolence he felt about a number of elements in his life, be it the events of a past he continues to be governed by, and the wrongdoing he’s observed in his immediate surroundings and society as a whole.

“Problems haunt you, infect you, and in time become a part of who you are,” LoPorto explains, “You might find ways to distract yourself or try and forget but every time you look in the mirror you’ll only see reminders of what you hate. Evil surrounds us and in time, becomes a part of who we are. Let this band be a reminder of that.”

The band previously released the song and music video for My Queen and sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times.

Proper Dose, The Story So Far’s latest album’, is a heel-turn…it’s the most accomplished record the Californian group have ever put to tape. – NME

They’ve simultaneously made something that’s welcoming and accessible and something that’s all their own.  – New Noise Magazine

Pure Noise Records and West Coast rock band The Story So Far are pleased to announce the release of the music video for “Take Me As You Please”. Out today, and streaming on their YouTube channel, “Take Me As You Please” is lifted from the band’s latest effort, Proper Dose.

The Story So Far join forces with director Eric Soucy to pull back the curtain on the macrocosm of Proper Dose. The journey meshes a visual dream world where a woman descends into a gender fluid and faceless world. Will she find love, accept the gifts being offered, or will she return to the world she knows? One thing is certain, The Story So Far deliver one of the most thoughtful love songs in ages. Additionally, TSSF has been on an absolutely tear in support of their latest opus. They’ve sold out most of their North American tour thus far.

“It’s just raw, incendiary, kicka*ss, super-catchy music…” – Stereogum

“Cheer feels like the culmination of all the work the band has put in over the past half-decade…” – Noisey

“…twinkling and terrifying, grizzly and gleaming, Drug Church’s sonic concoction thrives on its duality.” – NME
“…an alternate-universe sort of grunge-pop that’s both heavy and insanely catchy.” – Revolver

Cheer, the highly anticipated new full-length from punk rock agitators, Drug Church, is out now on Pure Noise Records / Sony Music Australia.

BUY CHEER HERE

The album feels like a culmination of everything Drug Church have been building towards since their debut. The band’s signature blend of aggressive hardcore and massive ’90s alternative indebted hooks has been pushed to new heights, packing a memorable punch into every moment of Cheer. Vocalist/lyricist Patrick Kindlon (also of Self Defense Family) is top form lending each track an often uncomfortable but always essential humanity. The album has already been critically praised, with Stereogum recently calling it, “absolutely 100% perfect from beginning to end” and praising Kindlon’s lyrics saying, “Cheer is absolutely essential to this very moment in time. It doesn’t indulge in the apathy, irony, or empty sentimentality endemic to Gen-X; it is, instead, a furious thing that incinerates everything in its scope.”

Drug Church are a glorious contradiction. They are an undeniably aggressive band that writes hooks you can’t stop humming: too poppy for the heavy crowd, too heavy for the poppy crowd. Their frontman is a singer who rarely sings and delivers lyrics that revel in the darkest corners of the human condition but are just as likely to make you laugh as they are to make you flinch. They loudly shout the uncomfortable truths we prefer to ignore but somehow make us want to shout along with them; they make serious music but don’t take themselves too seriously; they are completely adverse to planning but have accidentally built a loyal cult following. On Cheer, the band has doubled down on their Drug Church-iest impulses and emerged with an album that’s sure to please longtime fans and turn new heads. If there’s anything intentional about Drug Church, it’s knowing the value of being unintentional.

Drug Church will be supporting Cheer with a headlining run joined by Gouge Away, Heart Attack Man, and Seattle’s New Gods.
