Next month, the Bay Area band Loma Prieta, cult heroes in the screamo and post-hardcore world, will return with Last, their first new LP in eight years. You should be excited about that one. The most recent single “Glare” is a sprawling six-minute epic, and it’s fucking awesome. “Sunlight,” which the band dropped last year, is also really good. Today, Loma Prieta have shared another new song, and while it’s not quite as spine-tingling as “Glare,” it could still mess you up.
Gouge Away have released their first song in three years. The song is called “Idealized” and is out now via Deathwish Inc. The band has also announced a summer tour for the US. Gouge Away released their 7-inch Consider b/w Wave of Mutilation in 2020 and their album Burnt Sugar in 2018. Che.
It’s been five years since the awesome Florida post-hardcore band Gouge Away released their sophomore album Burnt Sugar, and it’s been three years since they dropped their “Consider” single. Earlier this year, Gouge Away made a surprise return to the stage, playing a couple of songs during a Militarie Gun set in Portland. Today, Gouge Away are back with their first new song in three years, and it’s an ass-kicker.
Bay Area post-hardcore greats Loma Prieta have been around for almost 20 years, but they go long periods without releasing new music. It’s been eight years since Loma Prieta released Self Portrait, their most recent LP. In the time since then, there’s been a two-song single, 2019’s “Continuum” b/w “Fate.” Last year, the band released a minute-and-a-half rager called “Sunlight.” That turned out to be the first taste of their new album Last, which is finally coming out this summer.
There's plenty of room for improvement when it comes to representation and diversity within the art form of production, but Irish talent is bearing fruit in .
