Last week gave us an exciting weekend of PT shows and of course, we’re stoked to announce our next club night in London. April 18th brings Save Your Breath, Roam and Calls Landing to The Old Blue Last prior to the club night and it’s set to be huge. It will be free entry AGAIN so no excuses! Check out the Facebook Event page for more info but sadly, it’s 18+.
If you missed the new releases and streams of the week, then check out these big ones…
The Menzingers are streaming the opening track from their upcoming LP ‘Rented World,’ which hits shelves on the 21st April via Epitaph and it’s going to be massive. Listen to ‘I Don’t Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore’ below.
Pop punk poster boys The Wonder Years have posted up a new music video for ‘Dismantling Summer’, the third single from last year’s ‘The Greatest Generation’.
It’s everything you could want and more.
Man Overboard dropped the official video for ‘How To Hide Your Feelings’. Taken from their 2013 release ‘Heart Attack’ it’s certainly been worth the wait.
Atlanta soundscape veterans Manchester Orchestra are streaming their fourth album in full via NME. ‘Cope’ hits shelves on Monday 31st March, so if you can’t wait until then, give it a listen now.
Cloud Nothings are streaming their follow up to 2012′s critically acclaimed ‘Attack on Memory’ via DIY. The stream is accompanied by a track-by-track from frontman Dylan Baldi. Like Manchester Orchestra, you can get your hands on the record this Monday. Check out our review of the album.
If you’re bummed to be missing Quicksand at Groezrock, then you’re in luck. The band will be playing a one off London show on June 12th at the Electric Ballroom. Tickets are £15 and you can buy them now from Livenation.
