Love Ethic release The Customer Is Always Blight EP, FFO: post-hardcore & noise rock 

 

 

"There’s a definitive 90s indie-punk vein running through their songs (think Shellac, Girls Against Boys) but it’s swirled up in classic pop hooks and propulsive modern production and musicianship." -- Spill Magazine


"Shines with many qualities of renowned names like NoMeansNo, Fugazi, Minutemen, Melvins, and many others brought decades before, but Love Ethic uplifted all these music styles on an entirely new and unique level." -- Thoughts Words Action


"A post-hardcore powerhouse... The artistic expression of classic Fugazi combined with the wry sardonic honesty of Devo to create a complex art-punk number that’s as smart as it is fun." -- New Noise



Pittsburgh trio Love Ethic release their new EP The Customer Is Always Blight today on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms. Hear/share on all DSPs HERE. 


New Noise Magazine recently launched an animated video for the single "Fight You Back" featuring a nonstop onslaught of satirical 80s punk album covers and scenes, all drawn by cartoonist Brian Walsby, known for his omnipresent comics in 80s-90s fanzines like Flipside, MRR, and Razorcake, as well as countless album covers (7 Seconds) and band merch. Watch/share the video for "Fight You Back" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)


Their debut album The Thinking Man's Redux was released April 2023 and is available via Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.


Andy Warhol would say that the most important thing is work. Love Ethic agrees. The band’s latest EP, The Customer is Always Blight, represents the band in one of their heaviest moods, finding the core duo of multi-instrumental vocalist The Inevitable Mr. Chris paired as usual with the authoritative drumming of Anthony Capozzi as they consort with blistering noise rock and hardcore while flirting with No Wave free verse. 


Highlighted is the single “Fight You Back”, a hardcore punk romp whose video was animated by Mr. Chris in collaboration with O.G. punk rock cartoonist Brian Walsby of Manchild notoriety, a silver lining following an injury that had left the singer/guitarist without the use of his left arm for four months. 


Available in digital and streaming formats, additional CDs of The Customer is Always Blight will be packaged in a limited run twelve-page fanzine being made available directly from the band on a first-come, first-served basis for the mere price of postage (or free at their merch table).  


The release is the latest of their successful collaborations with engineer/producer Mario Quintero of Spotlights (Ipecac), who last worked with the band on their cover of Toni Fisher’s The Big Hurt, contributing to the Day-Old Donuts compilation on Wax Donut Records.


Putting aside preconceptions of lifestyle or stardom has led Love Ethic to a host of independent accomplishments, performing with the likes of Jon Spencer, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sponge, Continuals, Beechwood, Microwaves, Spotlights, and many others. The band continues to be embraced by both young and veteran rock audiences across the spectrum, drawing repeated enthusiastic comparisons to their heroes like Nomeansno, Fugazi, Devo, and the Minutemen.


The Customer is Always Blight is the first in a series of new releases from the band, which will next include a forthcoming collaboration with Melvins/Redd Kross drum god Dale Crover.

SWAMPFOOT share video from forthcoming debut album, Upstate NY hardcore duo FFO: Teen Mortgage,... 

 "Grungy hardcore duo SWAMPFOOT are an all-caps, all-the-time kind of band." -- Decibel Magazine


Binghamton, NY duo SWAMPFOOT share the official video for "Aim Low" today from their forthcoming self-titled debut full length LP. The song premiered earlier via Decibel Magazine HERE. The video is now also available to watch and share on YouTube HERE. 


Hear and share "AIM LOW" and 2 other singles on all DSPs HERE and Bandcamp HERE. 


SWAMPFOOT is a dynamic, two-piece hardcore punk band based out of New York State. The group was birthed in 2025 by Cliff Hodson (vocals/bass) and Jordan Greene (drums). They entered the studio in July of 2025 with the goal of creating a gigantic wall of aggression with just a single bass and a set of drums. Working with producer Kenny Eaton (Teen Mortgage) at Mystery Ton Studios, the mission was accomplished. Crushing guitar tones and thunderous bass were all sculpted and then captured in pure, analog beauty using just a single bass, signal splitters, stomp pedals, and some crazy boutique amps from the 1960's and 1970's. Combine all of that with real, live-tracked drums, and a bunch of singing and yelling through an expensive Telefunken U47, and you've got yourself one huge, pissed off sounding debut record.


Their first single "No Matter What" sounds like System of a Down having a fist fight with the Beastie Boys while Rick Astley films it on his iPhone. They followed it up with their second single "Master Plan" which pokes at the idea of a manufactured existence by society's elites built to keep everyone in check, all delivered through fast paced, old-school thrash riffs, blistering drums, contagious vocals, and the heaviest breakdown you'll ever hear from a two piece band wielding a mere bass and set of drums. Their live show is no joke and stays 100% authentic to what you hear on the record. Two dudes, one monstrous sack of noise. 


SWAMPFOOT will be available in November 2026.

Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol share "The Disappearing Man" single 



"I guarantee you, it will be jammed firmly in your head for days on end." -- Metal Injection


“An instant earworm.” — Metal Sucks


“As ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply… churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top.” – Decibel Magazine


"Epically catchy... Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end." -- Revolver Magazine



Austin trio Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol share their latest single today, "The Disappearing Man" from their forthcoming album CA$H GRAB. The song finds the band showcasing their absolute mastery of heavy hook-filled riffs and rhythms couched in earworm melody that would make Green Album era Weezer jealous. CA$H GRAB is still in production and will be announced in more detail at a later date. For now, dig in to the three bite-sized anthems from the album so far, "The Disappearing Man", "Bough Down" and "Peaches" on all DSPs HERE. 


The band recently announced Fall 2026 tour dates supporting Death From Above 1979. Fans can get tickets HERE for all shows. Please see all dates below.


RBBP just concluded their CA$H GRAB 6-week headlining tour across North America, with multiple sold out shows. The band was joined on the entire tour by Austin punk-metal trio American Sharks (whose new album Not Dead Yet released in late April).

Morrison Graves share new single "Home" from upcoming EP 


"A very late in the year find, but quite a good one. If you love Jim Morrison and his vocals with The Doors, you will also enjoy Morrison Graves." #2 ranking (December '22) -- Doom Charts


"Get bummed... Should you feel the need to get your young Jim Morrison and/or early Mark Lanegan on." -- Metal Injection


“A fuzzy convergence of ’60s psych, indie rock, and influences coming from the East... Channeling collective dread into cathartic rock.” — Psychedelic Baby


"Creates an atmosphere of opulent psych rock and mesmerizing melodies... Sonically captivating." -- CvltNation



Portland, OR band Morrison Graves share a new single today titled "Home", from their forthcoming Under The Weight of Gravity EP followup their 2023 debut album Division Rising. The song launched earlier via The Obelisk HERE. "Home" is now also available via Bandcamp HERE.


Previous singles "Alice" and "The Swarm" are available on all DSPs HERE. 


The band's debut album Division Rising received a wealth of praise for its captivating take on heavy rock and 60s psychedelia. Listen to Division Rising via Bandcamp and Spotify. Watch & share "Crane Song" video via CvltNation HERE. (Direct YouTube.)


Morrison Graves navigate the realms of pre-doom and post-psychedelia. Their fuzzy, swirling brand of rock pulls influence from 60's psych/garage, Eastern modes, and indie rock.


Morrison Graves’ debut album, Division Rising, released during the pandemic, valiantly tackled themes of gentrification, homelessness, and socio-economic disparity. This album was a collective howl in dark times, garnering an audience and establishing a precedent for the band.  


After the world re-opened, Morrison Graves transitioned from a recording project to a live band. Yet, emerging into this new post-pandemic reality, it is evident that normalcy has been shattered and the fragile constructs that society was precariously balanced upon are now nakedly exposed.  


In this fraught atmosphere, Morrison Graves has embarked upon recording a new EP, Under The Weight of Gravity. Their new songs address themes of tribalism, resource consumption, the global war machine, civil war, death, loss, and hope. There is urgency to address this existential state of dread and to sound the alarm. Firmly grounded in their ethos and distinct point of view, Morrison Graves’ response is to create rather than scream into the void. Under The Weight of Gravity will be Morrison Graves’ first post-pandemic release.

Under The Weight of Gravity will be available on streaming and download on July 17th, 2026. 

Division Rising is available on LP, CD and digital, released on March 31, 2023. Orders are available HERE.

37 Houses kick off summer tour dates today in Pacific Northwest, sophomore album out now 



“Packed with bright, jangly guitars and powerful, resounding vocals.” — New Noise 


“Moody ear-candy…Another great record from a local band in our midst proves pain begets the most vivid art.” – SF Bay Guardian / 48 Hills


"A candid exploration of love, regret, and personal growth wrapped in a melody that feels both relatable and raw." -- Static Multimedia


"Poignant, melodic indie rock in the key of mid-90s Matador Records. Fans of Helium and Bettie Serveert alike should check it out." -- Rock and Roll Globe


“Jeremy’s songwriting unfolds like a series of poetic Polaroids, while Erin’s vocals tear through them with emotion…It’s a vulnerable, beautiful mess and we’re all invited in.” — It’s Psychedelic Baby!


“Impactful and powerful blends of pop-punk, post-punk, indie rock, hints of garage, and plenty more, all coated with this sort of pop sensibility and riddled with personality throughout the entire thing.” — Buzzslayers


"If you're a sucker for a huge voice, then you're going to love cranking this." -- Austin Town Hall




San Francisco band 37 Houses kick off a series of regional tours throughout the summer starting today with a trek through the Pacific Northwest. The tour starts tonight, June 23rd in Portland, OR and runs through the weekend in Washington State. Please see all dates below. Tickets and info for all shows HERE.


The band just released their sophomore album, titled When and How It Happened. The 12-song recording nods to the playful sounds of classic 90s Indie Rock while addressing subjects of unusual romantic entanglements. Hear and share When and How It Happened on DSPs HERE.


MAGNET Magazine recently premiered the single "Helium" HERE. 

Watch the official video for the original album version of "Jealous Love" on YouTube. Watch/share the video for "It Stays With Me" on YouTube.


37 Houses has always been a journal of lead singer Erin Sydney and guitarist Jeremy Rosenblum’s marriage. Started as a way to process going into lockdown four months after getting married, the music has become a running expression of the love and pain they experience together. When and How it Happened is the next chapter in that story: written over 18 months about the process of learning to be, and not be, polyamorous in a developing marriage. 


The songs were written as the events transpired and they capture the raw emotions of deeply personal moments. Neither person knew how this would end while it was being written. Helium, about a few days spent with a girlfriend, and a few months dealing with the feelings it created, captures that angst and grief. Album opener Shadow Puppets sings an apology, an acknowledgement, and a resignation of hope, while maintaining the fierce undercurrent of unconditional love. Acoustic tracks Unloveable and Love Song contrast each other; one song about the darkest moments, and the other an expression of neverending love to hold onto when things feel overwhelming. This album also represents the first time Erin Sydney composed songs on the album, with Event Horizon and Only a Smile Remains giving voice to her struggle, her pain, and her ability to grow through it all.  


When it came time to record, the band decided it needed to be as raw and urgent as the songwriting. Renting a house in the mountains of Colorado, they set up the band live and recorded all the instrument tracks in just 4 days. The recording captures exactly what happened between the band members in a whirlwind of creative expression. It is a loving tribute to the early days of rock and roll, favoring cranked amps and feel over perfectly placed hits and polished layers. And because 37 Houses is always a product of the house Erin and Jeremy share, the vocals and acoustic tracks were once again recorded in their bedroom. 


This is a record about a discreet moment and how you face it. This is a record capturing a discrete moment in the history of the band. This is When and How it Happened.


When and How It Happened is available on Limited Edition LP and digital on May 29th, 2026. Orders are available HERE.

Mario Infantes shares Black Metal cover of "Twin Peaks" theme song in new video; solo artist &... 




“Has a very cinematic feel to it, almost like the soundtrack to a spy movie. The Icelandic composer has a knack for electronic music.” — Metal Injection

 

"A startling solo debut... From dungeon to daylight, electronic instrumental therapy." -- Echoes & Dust

 

"Infantes steps away from the Icelandic progressive death metal style to take listeners on a synth-driven journey into his artistic psyche... A mesmerizing atmospheric record." -- Metal Insider


"Mario’s voice is still front and center, but this time it’s part of a much bigger picture, one that is less about control and more about discovery. The result is an album that feels lived-in and searching, less like a statement and more like an invitation." -- Psychedelic Baby Magazine


“Rich with dreamlike vocals, traditional instruments, and cultural creativity, Mario takes us to another plane of existence, far from this harsh, cruel world.” — Toilet Ov Hell


“I’m not watching a music video, I’m watching an odyssey… ’Sírenu’ is both beautiful and menacing.” — CvltNation



Iceland based artist Mario Infantes shares a new single and video today for his intense reimagining of the "Theme From Twin Peaks" as a Black Metal dirge. The song, originally written by Angelo Badalamenti for David Lynch's legendary 90s TV show, is available to hear/share on all DSPs HERE. Infantes' epic video, shot in the landscapes of Iceland, premiered earlier via Toilet ov Hell HERE. Watch/share "Theme From Twin Peaks" video on YouTube HERE. 


Infantes released his sophomore solo album Bitácora in July 2025, and it's available on all DSPs HERE. CvltNation premiered the stunning video for "Sírenu" HERE. Watch/share "Sírenu" video via YouTube HERE. 


Mario Infantes Ávalos is a multidisciplinary artist from Spain, now based in Iceland, known for his extraordinary vocal range and deep connection to global sounds.

Proficient in a variety of traditional instruments, including the oud, handpan, duduk, and bansuri, his work reflects a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and musical traditions.

PINK FUZZ share new single "Manipulator" 


"Resolution is one of the unexpected delights I’ve heard from the Stoner Rock scene this year. As Pink Fuzz are brilliantly inventive combining classic Stoner Rock against areas of Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Indie Rock for a record that’s bound to become a firm favorite within the underground scene." -- Outlaws of The Sun


"Resolution is a sleek, hard rocking album with a lot of energy." -- New Noise Magazine


“Riotous Desert Rock.” – NPR



Denver trio Pink Fuzz share a new single titled "Manipulator" today. Following quickly on the heels of their acclaimed new album Resolution, the taut single shows the benefits of their extensive touring over the previous year with The Sword, Black Pistol Fire, Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol and Earth Tongue. The track was mixed by All Them Witches guitarist Ben McLeod and is available to hear and share on all DSPs HERE.


Pink Fuzz is a brother/sister led three-piece out of Denver made up of singer/guitarist John Demitro, singer/bassist LuLu Demitro and drummer Will Trafas. Pink Fuzz came to fruition at the end of 2017. Quickly picking up steam and wanting to expand out of Denver, Pink Fuzz started touring extensively. Creating a DIY circuit throughout the country, they’ve built a grassroots fanbase that has anxiously been awaiting new releases. Finally, 4 years after their previous release, the band's latest album Resolution landed September 19th, 2025. 


John’s baritone guitar lends itself to their heavy and fuzzed-out tone. The tuned down sound mixed with vocal harmonies and unique melodies is their calling card. The band’s newest material has been gaining fans since they debuted it at Treefort 2021. The coined term “High-Speed Desert Rock” suits them well as their show is fast-paced, dynamic and hard-hitting.


New single “Manipulator” was recorded at Cauldron Audio Works and engineered by Riley Rukavina. The track was mixed by Ben McLeod of All Them Witches. The single features custom artwork by Katy Black of Spoonbenders. 


Resolution was produced by Kevin Mckeown (Black Pistol Fire) and mixed by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell, PJ Harvey, Arctic Monkeys). The album received a wellspring of praise from NPR, New Noise Magazine, KNAC Radio (SF), The Obelisk, and many more. 


“Manipulator” is available as a standalone single on streaming and download, released June 16th, 2026 via Permanent Teeth. Resolution is available on LP, cassette and download via Permanent Teeth. Orders are available HERE.

NYC dreampop/art-rock band Manicburg share live EP from Hit Factory studio & Brooklyn Pearl 



“Finds the band imbuing a sense of drama as they lean into a sound that marries indie rock and prog. The song twists and turns in a way that pulls you into its mysterious nature while maintaining a melodic sensibility.” — Glide Magazine


"A deeply personal fusion of post-punk, dream pop and art rock. Lustig’s surreal compositional flair pairs seamlessly with Porto’s mesmerizing soundscapes, crafting intricately layered songs that pulse with depth and atmospheric richness." -- It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine


"Underground art-rock channeling Ron Mael (Sparks)." -- Echoes & Dust



NYC band MANICBURG announce their new EP, Resist The Gravity today. The EP is culled from four filmed studio performances at The Hit Factory (NYC) and The Brooklyn Pearl (Dumbo, NYC.) The EP is available to hear and share on all DSPs HERE. 


The band previously released the official video for their single "Harness (with Wooden Hips)". The video is a clever juxtaposition of music video and news, with several subtle tributes, both visual and musical to past heroes that attentive listeners with enjoy deciphering. Watch the video and read about it HERE. (Direct YouTube.) 


Glide Magazine previously shared the captivating animated video for lead single "One For You and One For Me" HERE (Direct YouTube.) 


MANICBURG is a new project born in northern Manhattan. It is the trait d’union of two sonic worlds: that of NYC native Ray Lustig and Italy’s Luigi Porto. 


The New York Times calls Lustig’s previous work, “surreally beautiful…ecstatic…rapturous,” The Washington Post hails its “eerie prescience.” Likewise, Angelo Badalamenti praises Porto’s work as “abstract, hypnotizing, absolutely unique,” and Stuart Maconie highlights its “incredibly striking atmospheres.”


Lustig and Porto trade off lead vocal roles, with markedly distinct voices and deliveries, Lustig with a theatrical edge, while Porto melds his rounded crooning tone with a punk inflection. Lustig also plays accordion and Hammond organ, Porto a warm hollow-body overdriven tone Combined with the Latin-rooted indie rock rhythmic sensibility of Barahona, Espinoza, and Salmon, the band’s live sound can be explosive yet controlled, atmospheric yet urgent, always in service of the true protagonist in Manicburg’s music: the song itself.


This EP acts as a companion piece to the debut album, revisiting the material from a different angle, with arrangements that at times diverge radically from the album versions. The theatrical garage-psych of “Silken Pavilion” erupts here into its darker and harsher incarnation, while “Monkey World” is translated through greater tonal density and a newly expanded instrumental section, built around the dialogue between guitar and Hammond through Leslie speakers, one of the defining voices of the Brooklyn Pearl recordings.


Yet perhaps the most fascinating transformation belongs to “All Together Now.” On the album recording, the song exists as a fully acoustic and choral piece, “larger than life” in its layered vocal arrangements, oversized acoustic guitar ensemble, trumpet, and samples taken from a Spanish procession. Here, onstage, or rather in the darkness of The Brooklyn Pearl’s industrial basement, it becomes something altogether different: a dark electric invocation, wholly ritualistic in nature, driven by a martial pulse, and counterpointed by accordion and the gradually ascending vocal harmonies.


The final recording is a completely stripped-down version of “Silken Pavilion,” featuring only Porto and Lustig reducing the song to its harmonic bare essentials through acoustic guitar, accordion, and their voices, recorded live at the historic studios of The Hit Factory, where the album itself was produced. Whether indulging in extravagant echoes of musical theatre and post-punk or retreating to two stools performing unplugged , Manicburg seems always about the core musical substance of their songs.


While the band’s stage performances hearken to antique and dramatic public rites, their forthcoming self-titled debut spans a vast sonic palette at times reminiscent of modern post-punk, dreampop and art-rock artists like Blonde Redhead, Bauhaus and Radiohead. The duo’s intricately crafted songs are testament to Lustig and Porto’s vast training and experience in the field. To wit:


Ray Lustig, as a composer/performer has created for the symphonic stage, theatre, and mixed media, and he teaches composition at The Juilliard School. His music is performed and recorded by numerous orchestras, ensembles, and soloists around the world, at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Bartok Plusz Opera Festival, and Lincoln Center. 


Hailing from the Italian underground and experimental scene, Luigi Porto has released albums under several monikers (Appleyard College, Mond), and toured with bands (Maisie, Anima Virus), scored films (Uljhan, Arbëria), and composed for orchestra and stage. Besides performing solo and with ensembles, his music has been at Carnegie Hall, La Croisette, Stanislavsky Theatre and many international venues. 


Resist The Gravity is a digital only release via Bandcamp and streaming services via Respirano Records. The band's debut album Manicburg is available on LP, CD and streaming/download via Respirano Records released on October 25th, 2024. Order HERE / Save HERE.

Love Ethic share "Fight You Back" video feat. satirical 80s punk art by cartoonist Brian Walsby... 

 

 

"There’s a definitive 90s indie-punk vein running through their songs (think Shellac, Girls Against Boys) but it’s swirled up in classic pop hooks and propulsive modern production and musicianship." -- Spill Magazine


"Shines with many qualities of renowned names like NoMeansNo, Fugazi, Minutemen, Melvins, and many others brought decades before, but Love Ethic uplifted all these music styles on an entirely new and unique level." -- Thoughts Words Action


"A post-hardcore powerhouse... The artistic expression of classic Fugazi combined with the wry sardonic honesty of Devo to create a complex art-punk number that’s as smart as it is fun." -- New Noise



Pittsburgh trio Love Ethic today share a new video and single from their forthcoming EP via New Noise Magazine. The animated video features a nonstop onslaught of satirical 80s punk album covers and scenes, all drawn by cartoonist Brian Walsby, known for his omnipresent comics in 80s-90s fanzines like Flipside, MRR, and Razorcake, as well as countless album covers (7 Seconds) and band merch. Watch/share the video for "Fight You Back" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)


Their debut album The Thinking Man's Redux was released April 2023 and is available via Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.


Andy Warhol would say that the most important thing is work. Love Ethic agrees. The band’s latest EP, The Customer is Always Blight, represents the band in one of their heaviest moods, finding the core duo of multi-instrumental vocalist The Inevitable Mr. Chris paired as usual with the authoritative drumming of Anthony Capozzi as they consort with blistering noise rock and hardcore while flirting with No Wave free verse. 


Highlighted is the single “Fight You Back”, a hardcore punk romp whose video was animated by Mr. Chris in collaboration with O.G. punk rock cartoonist Brian Walsby of Manchild notoriety, a silver lining following an injury that had left the singer/guitarist without the use of his left arm for four months. 


Available in digital and streaming formats, additional CDs of The Customer is Always Blight will be packaged in a limited run twelve-page fanzine being made available directly from the band on a first-come, first-served basis for the mere price of postage (or free at their merch table).  


The release is the latest of their successful collaborations with engineer/producer Mario Quintero of Spotlights (Ipecac), who last worked with the band on their cover of Toni Fisher’s The Big Hurt, contributing to the Day-Old Donuts compilation on Wax Donut Records.


Putting aside preconceptions of lifestyle or stardom has led Love Ethic to a host of independent accomplishments, performing with the likes of Jon Spencer, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sponge, Continuals, Beechwood, Microwaves, Spotlights, and many others. The band continues to be embraced by both young and veteran rock audiences across the spectrum, drawing repeated enthusiastic comparisons to their heroes like Nomeansno, Fugazi, Devo, and the Minutemen.


The Customer is Always Blight is the first in a series of new releases from the band, which will next include a forthcoming collaboration with Melvins/Redd Kross drum god Dale Crover.
