Throat - 'Smile Less' pre-orders
added by Alex Deller on Thursday March 4 2021 in Pre-ordersSvart are now taking pre-orders from ever-excellent noise-rock act Throat. It's out on May 14. Here's some blurbage: "Throat's third album, Smile Less carries a significantly darker tone compared to the band's previous output albeit the light at the end of the tunnel has always been dim. While the foundation of Throat's sound remains in 90s noise-rock, 'Smile Less' pushes its way through all boundaries, starting off with cold post-punk vibes and ending in a wall of harsh noise. The space between those moments is stuffed with noisy rock music offering the listener the odd chance for groovy booty shake before throwing a curve ball with some industrial sound experiments. The first impression may not be as jarring as on their earlier recordings, but 'Smile Less' is still a demanding listen as Throat have never been poster boys for entertainment value."

Gimmick s/t 7"
added by Alex Deller on Friday February 26 2021 in Pre-ordersSorry State are taking pre-orders for Gimmick's vinyl debut - a five track stinger of ugly, snotball hardcore. The label says: "While Gimmick’s snotty, noisy chaos recalls 80s greats like Sick Pleasure, they don’t sound like a retro band, just a group of young punks sipping from the same cocktail of frustration, anxiety, and hormones that have powered so many loud and fast bands across punk’s history. Through a perfectly gritty recording, Gimmick delivers an eleven-minute burst of bile, climaxing with the closing 'Grease Trap,' whose riff sounds like Kurt Cobain grew up seeing bands like Gag and Glue in seedy basements."
