"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

“A saucy slab of proggy sludge metal with a side of barbecue sauce.” — Invisible Oranges

"Get yourself roughed up by riffs! Just try not to break your neck while listening to this." -- Metal Injection

“A psychedelic, Southern-fried, stoner wallop with all sorts of twists and turns. These dudes aren’t afraid to dabble in an assortment of extreme styles.” — Decibel Magazine

“Like its righteous comic-style cover art, the album is busy and colorful in the details, but if you step back and take it in as an entirety, it forms a coherent, single thing.” — The Obelisk

Charlottesville, VA trio Üga Büga share the last single today from their forthcoming sophomore full length LP Valley of The Wolf. An early listen and review launched previously via The Obelisk HERE. Hear and share "The Sand Witch" and more via Bandcamp HERE. 

Bandcamp Daily recently featured the album in their "Essential Releases" column HERE. 

Decibel Magazine recently featured the "Divine Slaughter" single HERE. The single is now available on all DSPs HERE. Invisible Oranges previously shared lead single "Mötorhog" HERE. Metal Injection hosted the title track "Valley of The Wolf" HERE.

Hailing from Virginia, Üga Büga fuses influences like Mastodon, Soundgarden, High on Fire, and The Mars Volta into a genre-bending force of rock and heavy metal. Their forceful sound is matched by fantastical lyrics of post-apocalyptic hog men, sinister wizards, and dual-wielding warriors tearing through landscapes on motorcycles—evoking scenes similar to the worlds of TMNT, Dragon Ball, and other classic comics and cartoons. Riding high after their 2024 debut album, Year of the Hog, landed on the Doom Charts, ÜGA BÜGA is set to unleash their next chapter, Valley of the Wolf.

ÜGA BÜGA has built a reputation as a sonic outlier through relentless performances across the eastern US. Their high-energy shows have earned them opportunities to open for national touring acts like Nothingmore, Darkest Hour, Castle Rat, King Buffalo, and many more, as well as festival plays such as Does It Doom's Seismic Summer Fest and Doomed and Stoned Fest. Fans and peers have tried to use countless labels to describe their sound, the consensus always comes down to two words: unique and heavy. Their growing presence has led to incredible opportunities—most recently, an international tour in Japan.

Formed in mid-2021, ÜGA BÜGA experimented with various lineups and styles before solidifying their current lineup in November 2022, featuring singer/guitarist Calloway Jones, bassist Niko Cvetanovich, and drummer Jimmy Czywczynski. This lineup infused their own diverse styles into a collection of songs written by Calloway Jones, reshaping them into a cohesive and undeniably heavier sound—one that would define their debut album, Year of the Hog. Now, the band writes collaboratively, with each member’s contributions playing a crucial role in shaping their evolving sound.

Valley of The Wolf will be available on June 5th, 2026. Pre-orders are available HERE.

Album release party in SF this Thursday, May 21st

“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 announce new tour dates today supporting their upcoming sophomore album When and How It Happened. The band hits the Pacific Northwest in late June, then the Midwest in mid-July. 37 Houses plays a hometown album release party this Thursday, May 21st at The Eagle in SF. Please see all dates below. 

The band recently released the "Strangers" single from the forthcoming album, available on Bandcamp and all 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 will be available on Limited Edition LP and digital on May 29th, 2026. Pre-orders are available HERE.

"Brings the post-rock energy... Much like its video, 'Impermanent Cell' is a mote of light in an otherwise endlessly dark room, projecting itself into the void forever." -- Metal Injection

“The quality of the musicianship is flawlessly brilliant, the songwriting tight and concise, the breadth of scope a refreshing alternative to a lot of the blinkered offerings around.” – Echoes & Dust

“A potent mix of post-black metal fury and heavy ’90s alt rock emotional passion.” — Decibel Magazine

"Pulls tech-death and ambient black metal into a strange collision with indie rock." -- Psychedelic Baby 

"A record that promises depth, warmth and a quietly devastating sense of honesty." -- Metal Epidemic

Denver, CO trio Harboured share a new single today from their forthcoming second full length on Lost Future Records. The track is the band's interpretation of "Agenda Suicide", originally written by early 2000's synth punk band The Faint. The song premiered earlier via Echoes & Dust HERE and available to hear and share on all DSPs HERE. 

Decibel Magazine recently premiered the lead track "Dead Ringer" HERE.

Harboured return with their sophomore album entitled We’re Only The Love That We Lead. Growing as a band in every way imaginable, the trio power through styles and genres with a confident and aggressive stance that declares them as one of the most original acts in the metal scene today. Incorporating elements of tech/death, blackgaze and ambient black metal, WOTLTWL is a journey through the sonic landscape of modern metal, and it is all held together by virtuoso performances from Michael Stancel (Allaegeon), Brandon Michael (Allaegeon) and Cierra White (Oak, Ash and Thorn). The three once again recorded with Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City) at Anti-Sleep Studios in Oakland, who brings his live feel and raw energy to these songs.

HARBOURED was formed by Michael Stancel in Denver, CO in 2020 with Cierra White, Brandon Michael and Nick Hennig. Hennig left the band in 2021 and they now play as a three piece. 

Artist Notes:

When writing for this record, we really wanted to make something that felt more personal and emotionally attached to us, but didn’t want it to be too “heart on your sleeve”, “oversharing”, or “whiny ex-boyfriendcore”. It took me a really long time to figure out how to disguise these things in a way that felt more unique or less obvious. I’ve always had an interest in engineering and infrastructure, specifically the failures of both, and found I could use these failures as metaphors for the failures we have as people, whether that’s in our personal lives, our relationships, or our morality. I felt writing in that way would let me express myself from the heart, without it just being a bunch of songs about people and relationships, like a million records before. 

We also wanted to give our sound a clearer direction. Our first release was more on this darker /“blackgaze-y” sound, and it was great, but I found that this one needed to be something that brings more mood and more depth. I really leaned into my love of alternative/indie bands and brought in elements of that genre into the sound. Often thinking in directions like “what would Pheobe Bridgers do if she listened to Failure and Alcest,” and trying to make something that I love and maybe other people who don’t listen to a ton of heavy music might love too. I definitely feel we’ve made something that we’re all really proud of and that people will really enjoy and hopefully resonate with.

We're Only The Love That We Lead will be available on Limited Edition LP and download on May 29, 2026 via Lost Future Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

"A frenetic blast of scuzzy, fuzzy rock 'n' roll that's full of raucous, riotous energy." — Kerrang!

"Puts Motorhead's rhythm section, The Stooges' raw power, and Black Sabbath's evil melodies in a blender. For a more modern comparison, it also sounds a bit like Mutoid Man." — Brooklyn Vegan

"A little bit stoner, a little bit punk, a lot a bit fuzz, it is just the right mixture to create that delicious blend of awesomeness." — Nerdist

“Might be considered abrasive if they weren’t also so darn catchy.” – KUTX / NPR

“Their third, and best album… Not Dead Yet hits it just right, American Sharks’ explosive live freakouts finally contained on nine Cheap-Trick-becomes-Green Day tracks of anthemic emotion and neck lacerations.” – Austin Chronicle

Austin trio American Sharks release their first new album in 6 years today, titled Not Dead Yet. The album is now available on all streaming platforms, as well as LP, CD and download HERE (Bandcamp HERE). 

American Sharks are main support on the full U.S. tour dates with Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol which began last night in Denver, CO with a sold out show at the Bluebird Theater. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available HERE. 

American Sharks is a three-piece band hailing from Austin, TX. Their punk-metal hybrid sound blends pop hooks with blasting-yer-face riffs resulting in something akin to if Weezer went Stoner Rock. Coupled with hook-laden singalong lyrics, American Sharks’ forthcoming 2026 album Not Dead Yet is, well, a breathtaking return. 

The band is joined on the album by special guest guitar soloists: Mike Derks (GWAR), Zach Blair (Rise Against), Kyle Shutt (The Sword), David Sullivan (Red Fang), and Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol). 

Since the release of their 2013 self-titled debut album, American Sharks has toured extensively supporting the likes of GWAR, Clutch, The Sword, Red Fang, Big Business, Corrosion of Conformity and many others. After touring to support their debut album on The End Records, American Sharks took time off to write and record their self-produced follow up album, 11:11 on BMG. After a 5 year break, American Sharks are back (centered around founders, vocalist/bassist Roky Moon and drummer Nick Cornetti) with 9 fast-paced, pummeling tracks. 

Not Dead Yet is available on LP, CD and download, released on April 17th, 2026 via Permanent Teeth. Orders are available HERE.

"A frenetic blast of scuzzy, fuzzy rock 'n' roll that's full of raucous, riotous energy." — Kerrang!

"Puts Motorhead's rhythm section, The Stooges' raw power, and Black Sabbath's evil melodies in a blender. For a more modern comparison, it also sounds a bit like Mutoid Man." — Brooklyn Vegan

"A little bit stoner, a little bit punk, a lot a bit fuzz, it is just the right mixture to create that delicious blend of awesomeness." — Nerdist

Austin trio American Sharks release a new single today, "Flowers for The Dead" via Bandcamp exclusive with New Noise Magazine HERE (Bandcamp HERE). The track is culled from their forthcoming first new album in 6 years, Not Dead Yet. 

American Sharks also host an exclusive first listen of the album on Monday, April 13th via Bandcamp Listening Party. RSVP to join HERE.

Previous single, "Bang Yer Head" plus two more is available to hear and share on all DSPs HERE. 

American Sharks are main support on the upcoming full U.S. tour dates with Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol beginning on April 16th. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available HERE. 

American Sharks is a three-piece band hailing from Austin, TX. Their punk-metal hybrid sound blends pop hooks with blasting-yer-face riffs resulting in something akin to if Weezer went Stoner Rock. Coupled with hook-laden singalong lyrics, American Sharks’ forthcoming 2026 album Not Dead Yet is, well, a breathtaking return. 

The band is joined on the album by special guest guitar soloists: Mike Derks (GWAR), Zach Blair (Rise Against), Kyle Shutt (The Sword), David Sullivan (Red Fang), and Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol). 

Since the release of their 2013 self-titled debut album, American Sharks has toured extensively supporting the likes of GWAR, Clutch, The Sword, Red Fang, Big Business, Corrosion of Conformity and many others. After touring to support their debut album on The End Records, American Sharks took time off to write and record their self-produced follow up album, 11:11 on BMG. After a 5 year break, American Sharks are back (centered around founders, vocalist/bassist Roky Moon and drummer Nick Cornetti) with 9 fast-paced, pummeling tracks. 

Not Dead Yet will be available on LP, CD and download on April 17th, 2026 via Permanent Teeth. Pre-orders are available HERE.
