Blowfuse have released their new album, The 4th Wall, that was mixed by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room, mastered by Brian Gardner and is now available via SBÄM Records, HFMN Crew, Infected Records and Epidemic Records. The 4th Wall is a look into Blowfuse‘s naked mind, its enigmatic cover art reflects a concept rather than just an image: the prison of perspective. The band’s new album aims to remind both the listener and the members themselves that freedom is a pendulum that swings between denial and acceptance. Side to side, relentless. And in that constant swinging we build the foundations of our identity from a young age.
As an exercise in introspection, Blowfuse‘s fourth album is, at its core, about hope. The hope that one day, each one of us will rise up and break out of our own prisons. And when that happens, we will realize that the walls of our cells were just a matter of perspective. Taking this into consideration, it is logical that the band has defied all the genres previously associated with it. However, one thing is clear: energy and vitality are two adjectives Blowfuse will never be able to get rid of. Although punk rock permeates the entire album, the band has experimented with new rhythms, harmonies and styles. Songs like Wish reveal Blowfuse‘s funk rock side, while Fade Into The Dark shows their darker side of alternative rock and hardcore. The 4th Wall is an honest reflection of the Blowfuse members’ sonic and professional evolution throughout their ten year career.

Gab De La Vega releases new album “Life Burns,” his fourth studio album, released by SBÄM Records worldwide, in collaboration with Sell The Heart Records (U.S.), Epidemic Records, Motorcity Productions and Overdrive (all in Italy).

Life Burns contains the three singles already unveiled in the last few months, which drew attention to this new release by the italian-born singer-songwriter, who has now come on a permanent basis to a project capable of expressing itself also in full band format both on record and live.
From the dynamic drum rhythms and fierce guitar riffs of “Off My Chest” to the groove of the intimate and atmospheric and “Northern Lights,” all the way to the incendiary punk and hardcore-flavored track “Preaching To The Choir,” “Life Burns” in its entirety is enriched with elements and episodes that further enhance the varied sonic proposition of an album that in the course of twelve tracks manages to express different moods, revealing itself as one of the most multifaceted and surprising albums of 2024.
The album immediately stands out for the studio production work, which does not stifle the spontaneity of Gab De La Vega’s songwriting but, on the contrary, enhances its authenticity and organicity.
The songs come across as credible, well conceived and capable at the same time of living a life of their own as well as contributing to the unity of the album.

Jaguero’s “Self Titled” LP collects the Vicenza-based band’s two EPs, namely “Worst Weekend Ever” (2022) and “New Love” (2023), bringing Jaguero to vinyl for the first time in a very stylish limited edition of 300 copies on colored vinyl.
After garnering acclaim with their debut EP “Worst Weekend Ever,” Jaguero (a lineup born from the collaboration of members of bands such as Regarde, Slander and La Fortuna) have consolidated their creative and musical identity in a new highly concentrated 5-track EP, which includes elements of recall with the predecessor as well as points of break and opening to new horizons, making the body of their discography, as of today available on “self titled” vinyl, varied and solid at the same time.
Includes download codes for both EPs. If you don’t know Jaguero yet, get it right now, you can’t miss this excellent punk rock band.

Bristol hardcore punk band Grand Collapse release their new album “Empty Plinths”. The album follows two LPs and one EP and comes as a real masterpiece that finds the band in the best of shapes.

Their signature hardcore punk sounds are enriched and enhanced with some thrash, mosh and rock influences, which create, along with their direct and smart politically and socially charged lyrics, an explosive mix for all fans of bands such as Propagandhi, Conflict and Bane.

Beyond Space And Time is the third full length by Gab De La Vega, a singer-songwriter dedicated to folk, punk and indie sounds who, from his experience in the hardcore punk world, has been able to explore and follow a new path made of hints to modern folk and increasingly present traits of alternative rock, until today, a key moment in his creative journey.
Active with this project since 2011, Gab De La Vega goes full band with this album, after the very successful experiment of I Want Nothing, single released in 2017.
The third album was anticipated by Perfect Texture (which sees the collaboration with Nicola Manzan, known for the project Bologna Violenta) and YYZ, two singles with very different souls, to reveal the different sounds present in the album.
Eleven varied tracks that create a compact and solid work, in which the singer-songwriter explores more rock and explosive sounds, always keeping in mind the identity cultivated in recent years and the influences collected over time.
The distance covered since the previous Never Look Back LP is easy to perceive and it is inevitable to see the new dimension that this musical project acquired with this album.
The new work was recorded and mixed by Simone Piccinelli at La Buca Recording Club in Montichiari and mastered by Jack Shirley, Grammy nominated producer and sound engineer (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Jeff Rosenstock, Gouge Away…) at The Atomic Garden Studio in Oakland, California.
Gab De La Vega now performs both solo and with a full band lineup as Gab De La Vega and The Open Cages.

Italian Emo/Indie 4 piece Regarde are back with their 2nd Album.
Formed in 2014 they released two EPs, in March 2014 (“Self Titled”) and in September 2015 (“Perspectives”). They recorded their first Full Length “Leavers” (Epidemic Records, available on our store) in Boston (USA) at Getaway Recordings with Jay Maas, releasing it in October 2017.
“The Blue and You” is a 10-tracks record that talks about the unavoidable struggle within yourself, those moments when you finally face the “Blue” buried deep inside of you. Anxiety, concern and sickness are part of who you are, a projection of your being. Even if sometimes its weight is unbearable, the “Blue” keeps growing inside you, shapeshifting itself into the face reflected in your mirrors, polluting every corner of the places you live in, until you finally get face to face with it, embracing who you are.
Sound wise the record is all about vibe. A perfect bass driven vibe combined with beautiful guitar melodies and catchy hooks. Imagine 2015s Turnover (“Peripheral Vision”) combined with the drive of Title Fight and much of Italian “anima and amore” added and you get the sound of Regarde.

Fierce, metal band based in Trieste, Venice and Padova (Italy) announce their debut full lenght.

The album, titled “Eclipsed From The Duat”, follows a demo (2016, Reabsorption) and an EP (2017, Ashes).

On top of what already appears as one of the best metal releases of the year, an amazing album artwork by ViewFromTheCoffin.

To Kill has been one of the most influential European hardcore bands in the last 15 years. After their final shows in 2014, the band has reunited for a single show at Venezia Hardcore Fest in May 2019. Just for this show, they recorded 2 new songs and rerecorded a classic of theirs, plus a Growning Concern cover.
These new recordings are the heaviest songs they have ever produced and they can turn their fans’ nostalgia into a renewed energy and love for their music and their message. Lyrics are still on point and riffs as sharp as a razorblade. This is a one time only release: limited pressing, handnumbered, colored vinyl (transparent orange). Both the band and Epidemic Records decided that there won’t be represses. For all fans of this amazing band, it’s now or never.

Blowfuse is an incredible band both live and on record. Daily Ritual is the record of their maturity. Think of a combination between 90s melodic hardcore / californian skate punk and 90s rock vibes, with a touch of funky sounds. These guy are all about the groove and the melody. Think of the energy of bands such as Nofx, Pennywise, Bad Religion and Lagwagon combined with the groove of bands such as Living Colour, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam… Is it possible? Yes, it is! Check out this album, every song is different from the other, each one of them is a musical journey, along with personal, smart, deep lyrics.

Marnero from Bologna (Italy) is an amazing four piece band. Their debut was a split with Sinosedesis, before opening their monumental concept saga, which has seen, until now, three chapters: “Naufragio Universale” (2010), “Il Sopravvissuto” (2013) and “La Malora” (2016).
It’s time for a new chapter: “Quando Vedrai Le Navi In Fiamme Sarà Giunta L’Ora”, to be out in October 2018 via Epidemic Records, Sangue Dischi, Dischi Bervisti, To Lose La Track, Shove Records, Sonatine Produzioni, Controcanti (Vinyl and CD). A cooperation between all these Italian labels, which have a long history of friendship and shared values with the band.

Fredag den 13:e is a scandi-core institution based in Gothenburg, Sweden. This band has been around for about a decade now and their sounds resonates with influences from the last 30 years of rock music.
Their metal infused crust-hardcore punk sounds range from fragments of Gothenburg death sounds made famous by At The Gates, followed by raging d-beat and crust (think of Tragedy, but also some other d-beat monsters) . All mixed with a rock’n’roll feeling that reminds of Poison Idea, with heavy hardcore breakdowns on top.
Lyrics are deep and charged with a message about society and politics, with no clichès.

To promote the album they left on tour with Propagandhi and Iron Chic in North America and will come back to Europe soon, after an incredible performance at Punk Rock Holiday last year.

If you expect an average punk rock band, you’re totally wrong. These three Wild Animals are able to deliver deep, full of energy and entertaining songs and at the same time give that “politically-aware/DIY” feeling that we love at Epidemic Records.

The vegan wolfpack strikes again! Darker, heavier, angrier: Painted Wolves consolidate the sound of the previous “Unholy” 7″, adding new ingredients to their sound.
