Post-hardcore act Vagrants share “Separation,” streaming now on Alternative Press. Additionally, the band has announced their debut EP, Separation, will be released on April 26th via Equal Vision Records. Pre-orders are now available at vagrants.merchnow.com.

“’Separation’ is a very personal track for me,” shares guitarist Jose DelRio. “Our previous vocalist was arrested right before a planned tour, and just months before going to record the EP ‘Separation.’“

He continues: “Honestly, things were bleak and I really wasn’t certain what the future held for myself and the band at that point. Lyrically, the song touches on a very low point in my life and also serves to connect the dots conceptually for the EP.”

Letting go is hard, but if you want to move […]

Alternative rock band I the Mighty are thrilled to share their brand new single, “Cave In.” The track is an explosive, emotionally wrought landscape of sound that invites the listener into the darkest recesses of frontman Brent Walsh’s memories of witnessing substance abuse in loved ones.

Detroit based post-rock, indie sextet Bars of Gold unleashed “Atlantic City” today from their upcoming LP SHELTERS. The album, due April 12th via Equal Vision Records, was produced by the band along with Chris Koltay (War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Deerhunter, etc.). Listen to the song courtesy of the Fader here.

On the track, guitarist Scott Iulianelli shares, “Atlantic City is an unsuspecting pop song made up of seemingly disjointed parts; musically it’s our version of Beefheart’s “Frownland.” Lyrically, it’s about temptation and commitment, a homage to Springsteen. There’s also this weird circular percussion happening that sets the tone for the song and gives the guitars and vocals a platform for weaving in and out of. Like I said, it shouldn’t […]
