Equal Vision Records and shallow pools are excited to announce the Friday, October 13 release of I Think About It All The Time, the Boston-based indie-pop band’s full-length debut album (pre-save/pre-order HERE). Featuring songs co-written with LGBTQ+ icon Lynn Gunn of PVRIS, I Think About It All The Time is a record that paints a vivid picture of the dystopian times we find ourselves in in 2023 — both in general, but especially in the USA if you’re a minority. It’s that unavoidable setting that dictated both the tone and the themes of this album, but also which propelled the band — all of whom are close friends who live together — to rally against the discrimination and oppression which […]

Equal Vision Records and California-based rock band Hail The Sun are excited to announce the release of its brand new studio album, Divine Inner Tension. Helmed by notable producer Kris Crummett, Divine Inner Tension finds the veteran rock band questioning everything about what it means to be here and to be alive, on both a micro level — where the importance of our existence is profound and paramount — and on a macro one — where our time on this planet is nothing but irrelevant and insignificant. Across its 12 stirring and intense songs, the album embarks on a journey that takes the listener back and forth between those two extremes as it tries to reconcile that paradox of living […]

Today, Philadelphia, PA band Kaonashi have shared their captivating new single and video “Blood Red Camry Dance Party” out on Equal Vision Records. Never shy to experiment, the song is an all out pop banger highlighted by progressive guitar work and a triple vocal approach. On their full-length Dear Lemon House, You Ruined Me: Senior Year (2021) the band began combining more melodious elements into their metalcore-leaning sound, and on “Blood Red Camry Dance Party” that direction comes to full fruition, drawing influence from acts like Motion City Soundtrack and Rina Sawayama.

The Aaron Palmer directed video follows the next saga of the band’s cinematic story of Lemon House High, which started on their 2018 EP, Why Did You Do It?, […]

Equal Vision Records and NJ/NYC-based indie-rock band The Vaughns are excited to announce the Friday, September 29 release of Egg Everything, an album produced by Joe Reinhart of Hop Along that presents itself as the band’s take on the sampler and an homage to record label mixtape CDs handed out at festivals in the early 2010s — the sharing of a variety of sounds and genres that influenced the band in the form of one release.

Containing elements of both the dreamy indie-pop and the effortlessly cool surf-rock/power-pop hybrid they made their own on previous releases, Egg Everything is looked upon by the band as a vessel to express their innermost emotions in more depth than ever before. Exploring their limits, […]

Equal Vision Records and California-based rock band Hail The Sun are pleased to present “Maladapted,” the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, August 11 release of the band’s new album, Divine Inner Tension (pre-order/pre-save HERE). A song that carries the throughline for which this album is thematically based, “Maladapted” is an exercise in letting go and simply relinquishing whatever control one has to surrender to a power greater than themselves, which is a feeling that frontman Donovan Melero felt to be one of the most liberating and empowering emotions they have ever experienced.

“Through this fight for control my whole life, I have experienced intense OCD for as long as I can remember,” Melero said. “My mind is on […]
