Dead American Announce New Album "Attention Deficit" + Share "Hate It" Video

Dead American, a four-piece rock group out of Southern California, have announced their new album Attention Deficit. It will arrive on February 14, 2025 via Velocity Records. Pre-save or pre-order it here.

The three songs the band released so far will appear on the new album, as well.

Today, the band has shared the video for the new single "HATE IT." Watch it below.

Dead American are a four-piece rock group hailing from Southern California fronted by vocalist Cove Reber (Saosin). Preceding the album's announcement, the band had released three new singles over the course of the past year, including "Cutting Yourself Out," which Reber described as "one of the darkest songs I've ever written. At its core, this song is about not speaking up. The disconnection we feel from those who love us while being at rock bottom will only get worse if you don’t speak up."
  
In October 2023, the band unveiled a new single and music video, "ADD." Reber described "ADD" as "about the difficulty of finding balance when your mind is moving a million miles an hour. Sometimes I feel like I'd rather hold my breath than deal with the constant shuffle of thoughts in my head."  
  
In February 2024, the band followed up with more new music in the form of the single "Into Oblivion." The singer stated that it is "a song about the pain of having to restart. Sometimes life feels like a video game and this song to me is like your big brother being a punk and hitting the reset button. Then realizing that it was all meaningless to begin with. I hope that this song can connect with people in a way that makes them excited about life's challenges. We all grow a little more with each nightmare.”"
  
After two years of touring with acts like The Used, Beartooth, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and others to support New Nostalgia, Dead American are prepping to return with their sophomore album, produced by Joey Bradford of The Used, which will double-down on the "new nostalgia" theme with the band pulling from a time even farther back and fundamental to the member's approach to songwriting.

"'broken glass' is about the stories we tell ourselves, good or bad, and how those narratives affect our mental health," the band explains. "Sometimes, it's okay to not be okay. So, this song is about finding the ones who believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself."

The lyrics originally started as a journal entry that quickly poured out in a song. Writing it was a way to cope with learning how to be happy where you currently are while still desiring more."

And So I Watch You From Afar Share New Track "Years Ago" — LISTEN // Summer Tour Kicks Off This Month

Stalwart Irish post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar have released "Years Ago," the third single from their forthcoming seventh album Megafauna, which releases August 9 via Berlin's Pelagic Records and Velocity Records in the U.S.

Listen here or here.

"Where 'Years Ago' retains some of the urgency that is across Megafauna, for me. it also presents another color of the record — a kind of sensitivity, underpinned by a nod to the old hip-hop loops that we all grew up on," says the band's Ewen Friers.

A tribute to the two places the collective call home, their beloved Portrush on the Irish North Coast and the beating heart that is Belfast, Megafauna is headstrong exploration and heartfelt appreciation with all the intuition, intimacy and humor of four firm friends approaching their 20th year as a band and a nod to the Irish roots that simultaneously ground and propel them forward.

A contemplative yet characteristically playful piece, "Years Ago" is a shining example of ASIWYFA's inimitable grasp of creative composition and call-and-response dynamics. Shuffling, laid back drums drift underneath wandering, effortless melodies as the overdrive slowly but surely sneaks up on us, bursting in a gleeful cascade of dueling guitars and spiraling cymbals. "Years Ago" is ASIWYFA in their jarring yet joyous element — a musical melting pot of cultural influences and diverse inspirations.

Like so many other bands and creatives throughout the pandemic, ASIWYFA found themselves suddenly stationary, with any plans outside of their immediate vicinity put on indefinite hold. However, where this might have seen other acts falter, ASIWYFA took comfort in their communal bond and, as soon as they were able, began writing a record that quickly became a love letter to the communities they call home.

The intent behind Megafauna is clear from the outset. Two guitars, bass, and drums all recorded in a week erupt into effervescent life in an endorphin rush of collaboration and togetherness after the physical and psychological wilderness of isolation.

Megafauna is the band's first new music since 2022's critically-acclaimed Jettison,an ambitious multi-media ensemble piece packed full of experimentation and collaboration. Jokingly referring to Jettison as their mature record’, the band framed the writing of Megafauna around the their long-running mantra of "DO THE SCARY THING," which sees ASIWYFA constantly hurtling towards newness, towards progress, evolution and the unknown. Whilst the new record is ASIWYFA taking on a more familiar, traditional form; in this post-Jettison, post-pandemic world, Megafauna is a deafening and defiant statement of intent from the band's propulsive core — a clarion call for the communities that shape them, a resplendent celebration of togetherness over separation.

The band is also embarking on a U.S. co-headline tour with Caspian later this month. All dates are below.

D.R.U.G.S. Announce New Album "Until God Shows" + Share "Losers Stay Losers (Let-down)" Video

Post-hardcore band Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.), featuring Chiodos' Craig Owens, are pleased to announce their third album UNTIL GOD SHOWS. The album — their first since 2022's DESTROY REBUILD and following their 2011-issued, self-titled debut — arrives on September 27 via Velocity Records. Pre-order it here.

The band has just dropped the video for the new single "Losers Stay Losers (Let-down)." Watch it below.

"'Losers Stay Losers' is a vivid picture of grappling with the emotional aftermath of a significant betrayal and the pain, disillusionment, anger, and distress that you have to face," Owens says. "It speaks to the profound impact the other person's actions have on your emotional well-being."

About the video, he says it's "a sequel/extension of our last video single released a few weeks back called 'Hunger Pangs.' The story continues with 'Losers Stay Losers,' and it will continue after that. Zak Pinchin is a legend in the making and working on both of the videos together to bring the ideas to life with him was a one of a kind experience. I look forward to creating with him again in the future."

Regarding the album as a whole, he states, "Until God Shows is a high energy, and fun ride through the rollercoaster world of D.R.U.G.S. Complete with a backstory, and art to bring every sound and feeling to life."

Amen to all of that! It is a welcome return for D.R.U.G.S.

D.R.U.G.S. are currently on a headline tour with Savage Hands, Downswing, and The Requiem coming along for the ride. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

Having now surpassed 10 million cumulative streams, the band's previous album DESTROY REBUILD offered listeners the uniquely nostalgic D.R.U.G.S. sound they had been craving while also exploring new territories, marking a perfect progression and exciting new chapter for Craig Owens. The aggressive melodies paired with low-tuned guitars and introspective lyrics created a slab of the nostalgic alternative rock sound that we all grew up with and have come to crave. Owens' knack for creating sincere lyrics shined through while touching on topics like destiny, perspective, and redemption on DESTROY REBUILD. It served as a physical manifestation of the course he has taken in his musical career and encapsulated each step along the way. It was a bright reflection of one's life and actions, and encouraged the listener to do the same in their own life. The third album UNTIL GOD SHOWS will prove to be yet another step in the ongoing evolution of Craig Owens.

And So I Watch You From Afar Share Video for "North Coast Megafauna"

IRISH LEFT FIELD ROCK INSTRUMENTALISTS AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "NORTH COAST MEGAFAUNA" 

TRACK LIFTED FROM BAND'S FORTHCOMING FULL-LENGTH, MEGAFAUNA, DUE OUT AUGUST 9 — PRE-ORDER

BAND ALSO SHARES VIDEO FOR PREVIOUS SINGLE "DO MÓR" — WATCH

Stalwart Irish post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar have released "North Coast Megafauna," the latest single from their forthcoming seventh album Megafauna, which releases August 9 via Berlin's Pelagic Records and Velocity Records in the U.S.

Listen here. Watch the video below.

The clip echoes the band's tribute to their homeland throughout the album. Their beloved places of Belfast, the Irish coast, and the surrounding forests are brought to life here by the intense, almost possessed choreography of dancer Sarah Flavelle. 

The band also released a visualizer for the previously released track "Do Mór." Watch here.

A tribute to the two places the collective call home, their beloved Portrush on the Irish North Coast and the beating heart that is Belfast, Megafauna is headstrong exploration and heartfelt appreciation with all the intuition, intimacy and humor of four firm friends approaching their 20th year as a band and a nod to the Irish roots that simultaneously ground and propel them forward.

Like so many other bands and creatives throughout the pandemic, ASIWYFA found themselves suddenly stationary, with any plans outside of their immediate vicinity put on indefinite hold. However, where this might have seen other acts falter, ASIWYFA took comfort in their communal bond and, as soon as they were able, began writing a record that quickly became a love letter to the communities they call home.

The intent behind Megafauna is clear from the outset. Two guitars, bass, and drums all recorded in a week erupt into effervescent life in an endorphin rush of collaboration and togetherness after the physical and psychological wilderness of isolation.

The similarly named opening track "North Coast Megafauna" serves as an appropriate anthem for the record and indeed for a band reinvigorated too. Proudly wearing their noisy math-rock, free jazz and experimental indie melting pot on their sleeves, ‘North Coast Megafauna’ is an eclectic, care-free confrontation of ASIWYFA’s joyously jarring collection of musical influences and cultural inspirations.

Megafauna is the band's first new music since 2022's critically-acclaimed Jettison,an ambitious multi-media ensemble piece packed full of experimentation and collaboration. Jokingly referring to Jettison as their mature record’, the band framed the writing of Megafauna around the their long-running mantra of "DO THE SCARY THING," which sees ASIWYFA constantly hurtling towards newness, towards progress, evolution and the unknown.

And So I Watch You From Afar's Rory Friers says the title track is "one of our favorite tracks on the record. A love letter to the North Coast, our friends there, the energy, the cold days skateboarding, the long summers in the sea, our beloved music venue, the closeness of it all. It has the heart of the land there with the weight of the North Atlantic."

D.R.U.G.S. Drop "Hunger Pangs" Video

Post-hardcore band Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.), featuring Chiodos' Craig Owens, have come roaring back with the video for the new single "Hunger Pangs." Watch it Below

It is the first taste of music from the band's forthcoming third album. The upcoming release follows two acclaimed albums, 2022's DESTROY REBUILD and 2011's self-titled debut. 

"'Hunger Pangs' is a song about an insatiable urge and unquenchable thirst for love. This song is both a new era and return to form for D.R.U.G.S.," says Owens. 

In conjunction with the release of "Hunger Pangs," and in anticipation of the announcement of their new album, D.R.U.G.S. will embark on a headline tour of the U.S. this summer, with Savage Hands, Downswing, and The Requiem coming along for the ride. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

And So I Watch You From Afar Announce New Album "MEGAFAUNA" + Share New Single "Do Mór"

Stalwart Irish post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar have announced their seventh full-length album, Megafauna, set for release on August 9, 2024 via Berlin's Pelagic Records and Velocity Records in the U.S.

Pre-order it here.

A tribute to the two places the collective call home, their beloved Portrush on the Irish North Coast and the beating heart that is Belfast, Megafauna is headstrong exploration and heartfelt appreciation with all the intuition, intimacy and humor of four firm friends approaching their 20th year as a band and a nod to the Irish roots that simultaneously ground and propel them forward.

However, where this might have seen other acts falter, ASIWYFA took comfort in their communal bond and, as soon as they were able, began writing a record that quickly became a love letter to the communities they call home.

The intent behind Megafauna is clear from the outset. Two guitars, bass, and drums all recorded in a week erupt into effervescent life in an endorphin rush of collaboration and togetherness after the physical and psychological wilderness of isolation.

The album's lead single "Do Mór" is a preposterously playful collision of light-hearted guitar hooks, effortless jazz syncopation, and the triumphant return of ASIWYFA's inimitable wall-of-sound distortion. Serves as an anthem for the whole album and for a band of friends reunited and reinvigorated too; proudly wearing their distinct juxtaposition of joyous euphoria and jarring musical confrontation on their sleeves. Also listen Below.

Megafauna is the band's first new music since 2022's critically-acclaimed Jettison,an ambitious multi-media ensemble piece packed full of experimentation and collaboration. Jokingly referring to Jettison as their mature record’, the band framed the writing of Megafauna around the their long-running mantra of "DO THE SCARY THING," which sees ASIWYFA constantly hurtling towards newness, towards progress, evolution and the unknown.

And So I Watch You From Afar's Rory Friers says the following about the album: "Megafauna is essentially a distilled moniker for our peers; all of the friends and characters that we've grown up with who've made us and our homes what they are today. Lockdown was an intensely introspective and reflective process, which put the comfort of community at the forefront of our minds throughout the writing process."

Velocity Records Signs rosecoloredworld + Band Shares "cold day in Hell"

VELOCITY RECORDS is thrilled to welcome Los Angeles rock band rosecoloredworld to the label roster.

Check out this video of the band announcing its signing... at 30,000'ish feet! 

"WE SIGNED A RECORD DEAL WITH VELOCITY RECORDS!!!!! Holy shit, you guys — we really did it. We could not be more stoked for this new era of RCW and are so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you rocking with us. Sometimes, your dreams really do become reality. Thank you all for being a part of our rosecoloredworld. Cheers to a new beginning," says band members Rae and Addison.

Today, the duo has shared the single "cold day in hell." Listen here.

The song is powered by a ferocious, alt rock battery. Gorgeous vocal interplay, propulsive riffing, and arena-sized choruses abound. It may be "a cold day in hell," but this track is straight fire.

Watch the video Below

"'cold day in hell' was the final song we wrote for our upcoming debut EP," the band says. "It's about those moments where we feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of self-doubt and turmoil. Sometimes, those moments can feel tremendously heavy, like where every day feels like Groundhog Day — in the worst way. We've learned that the only true way out is through. This is an anthem for all of those who are fighting their own battles, offering support and hope amidst the struggle of the human condition.”

rosecoloredworld combine catchy melodies with honest, self-reflective, and narrative-driven lyrics. The band was formed by two artists, Rae and Addison, who met in Hollywood through a mutual friend. Their music has been described as a safe place where people from all walks of life can feel accepted, seen, and celebrated for being exactly who they are. By creating this community, it gives anyone permission to live with a sense of freedom and create their own rosecoloredworld.

The new music was produced by Tom Denney (A Day To Remember, Dayseeker, Pierce The Veil, Wage War). The band recently played at Kill Iconic Fest and opened for both SUM 41 and NOAHFINNCE. They will hit the road with The Dangerous Summer this June and July. All tour dates are below.

Secrets Share New Single "Despair"

SECRETS have unleashed their first new music since 2022 with the new single "Despair." Listen Below

It's all about the electronic flourishes, gnarly riffery, and screams that sound as thought they crawled headlong from the bowels of hell. The track will kick your ass from start to finish.

Not only does the new single mark a new era of aggression for the band but is also a rebirth of sorts, as guitarist/clean vocalist Richard Rogers has stepped away from the band and has given his blessing for the band to carry on with a new lineup. Long-running members, vocalist Wade Walters and guitarist Connor Branigan, are now joined by guitarist/clean vocalist David Baqi in this rebirth of these California metalcore stalwarts. 

"Despair" was produced by Taylor Larson (Asking Alexandria, Periphery, Veil Of Maya, Within Temptatio.), who will also oversee the band's upcoming full-length album. Set to be recorded this summer, the new album promises to be the band's most pulverizing yet. You read it here first. 

But for now, it's time to immerse yourself in "Despair."

SECRETS are currently touring with Colorblind, Glasslands, and Unwell. Once the tour wraps, the band will then spend June aneJuly supporting Eyes Set To Kill. Expect a wealth more touring from the band as they unveil more new music in the coming months. 

Since their formation over a decade ago, California-based metalcore band SECRETS have been a giant within and beyond their genre. Relentless drive and progressive creativity have solidified the band's place in their scene's development and impact on the masses.
 
After being signed to Velocity Records in 2011, SECRETS released their debut full-length album, The Ascent, in January 2012. The record debuted at #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and became the first release from the first incarnation of Velocity Records to appear on the Billboard Top 200, debuting at #185.
 
 Worldwide touring and lineup changes helped refine the band and their music, leading to their second album, Fragile Figures, in 2013. The album was a success, selling over 10,000 copies in the first month and charting at #59 on the Billboard 200 charts. SECRETS released their third studio album, Everything That Got Us Here, in January 2015, seeing the album hit #11 on the Hard Rock Albums charts and #20 on the Independent Albums charts.

Following yet another success with their fourth album, the self-titled Secrets in 2018, the band continued to create, perform, and push the boundaries of their music and the genre. 2022 saw the release of their fifth album, The Collapse via their new partnership with their initial label, Velocity Records, who at the time had recently relaunched.

Dead American Share "Cutting Yourself Out"

Dead American, a four-piece rock group out of Southern California, have dropped another single. Listen to "Cutting Yourself Out" here. Watch the visualizer below.

"'Cutting Yourself Out' is one of the darkest songs I've ever written," says singer Cove Reber (also of Saosin). "At its core, this song is about not speaking up. The disconnection we feel from those who love us while being at rock bottom will only get worse if you don't speak up."

"Cutting Yourself Out" follows "ADD" and "Into Oblivion."

Stay tuned for even more new material from Dead American in 2024.

After two years of touring with acts like The Used, Beartooth, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and others to support their debut album New Nostalgia, Dead American are prepping their sophomore album, produced by Joey Bradford of The Used. The release will double-down on the "new nostalgia" theme with the band pulling from a time even farther back and fundamental to the member's approach to songwriting. "ADD," which is the abbreviation for "attention deficit disorder," serves as the first taste of new music in advance of the band's forthcoming studio album. The new album, the details of which will be revealed in the months ahead, is slated for release in summer of 2024. 

Fresh off two recent North American tours serving as support for The Used, Dead American will be releasing more new music and additional information about their new album in the coming months, as well as a preparing to keep up a rigorous touring schedule throughout 2024. 

Dead American debuted in 2018 with the desire to tap into the nostalgic sound of 2000s post-hardcore with their EP The Shape of Punk Is Dumb, a sound they expanded on with their first LP New Nostalgia, which is arrived via Velocity Records in 2022.

"'Into Oblivion' is a song about the pain of having to restart," says vocalist Cove Reber. "Sometimes life feels like a video game and this song, to me, is like your big brother being a punk and hitting the reset button, then realizing that it was all meaningless to begin with. I hope that this song can connect with people in a way that makes them excited about life's challenges. We all grow a little more with each nightmare."

Last fall, the band shared "ADD." Watch the video here. Stream the track here.

Stay tuned for even more new material from Dead American in 2024.

After two years of touring with acts like The Used, Beartooth, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and others to support their debut album New Nostalgia, Dead American are prepping their sophomore album, produced by Joey Bradford of The Used. The release will double-down on the "new nostalgia" theme with the band pulling from a time even farther back and fundamental to the member's approach to songwriting. "ADD," which is the abbreviation for "attention deficit disorder," serves as the first taste of new music in advance of the band's forthcoming studio album. The new album, the details of which will be revealed in the months ahead, is slated for release in the first half of 2024. 

Fresh off two recent North American tours serving as support for The Used, Dead American will be releasing more new music and additional information about their new album in the coming months, as well as a preparing to keep up a rigorous touring schedule throughout 2024. 

Dead American debuted in 2018 with the desire to tap into the nostalgic sound of 2000s post-hardcore with their EP The Shape of Punk Is Dumb, a sound they expanded on with their first LP New Nostalgia, which is arrived via Velocity Records in 2022.

Elsewhere, Blender highlighted how the band and album "combine emo's nervous-breakdown emotionalism and hardcore punk's aggression." The album is equally beloved by the band's diehard legion of fans and is considered a benchmark of the '00s.

Dead American Drop "ADD" Video

Dead American, a four-piece rock group out of Southern California, have unveiled the video for new single "ADD."

"Lyrically, this song is about the difficulty of finding balance when your mind is moving a million miles an hour. Sometimes, I feel like I'd rather hold my breath than deal with the constant shuffle of thoughts in my head," says vocalist Cove Reber (ex-Saosin).

Thursday reissue debut album 'Waiting' via Velocity Records

THURSDAY REISSUE DEBUT ALBUM WAITING
THROUGH VELOCITY RECORDS
AVAILABLE ON VINYL AND STREAMING SERVICES NOW

STREAM & PURCHASE WAITING

May 27, 2021 - The legendary post-hardcore group, Thursday, are in the midst of a year of landmark anniversaries, including the twentieth anniversary of their breakout album Full Collapse and the tenth anniversary of their last release No Devolución. However, today the band released the long-awaited reissue of their 1999 full-length, Waiting. The always-coveted debut album has been long out of print until now, available on vinyl and streaming services through Velocity Records, the newly relaunched label in partnership with Equal Vision Records.

Speaking on the band’s debut effort, vocalist Geoff Rickly says:
“Most people think 'Full Collapse' is our first album but twenty two years ago, we took a bunch of demos out of the basement where we’d been writing and holding shows, and put them all together in one place to make our debut album, 'Waiting'. A lot has changed in those intervening years—- the record has gone out of print several times— but every single time I listen to this record, I can hear the start of Thursday, I can hear our hopes and dreams and all the ideas that would define the band, starting to take shape.”

Thursday teased the reissue in the lead-up to their Signals V3 - Full Devolución livestream event by offering a limited edition vinyl variant alongside tickets, which sold out immediately upon release. Waitingis now widely available to stream and to preorder on vinyl here.
