Human Impact, the New York-based band featuring Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), Chris Spencer (Unsane), Chris Pravdica (Swans) and Phil Puleo (Cop Shoot Cops/Swans), announce their first European tour dates in 2022 on the heels of their first ever US tour. 

Unforgiving, merciless, beautiful, Buñuel is the sound of a difficult situation made worse by an unwillingness and an inability to play nice. Buñuel’s unpredictable amalgam of angular rhythms, drum salvos, blitzkrieging guitars and vocals that sound more like threats than promises is post-punk, proto-heavy and arty (as in avant-garde noise).

If the start of the breakthrough for Bambara was the radically reimagined sound of 2018’s “Shadow on Everything” (dubbed by NPR a “western gothic opus”), then the moment it truly arrived was on the cinematically riotous noir-punk of 2020’s “Stray”. In the UK, buoyed by the enthusiasm of DJ Steve Lamacq (who called the band, “one of his favourite discoveries of the year”), the band rose sharply, with significant press support and an A-listing at Lamacq’s 6Music, immediately selling out shows across the country.

Today industrial trail blazers Uniform have announced their return overseas. They’ll embark on a 27 date run across the UK and Europe in Spring 2022 with Pinkish Black along for support. In anticipation of this and their upcoming U.S. tour - their first since the release of the lauded 2020 heavy-hitter, Shame - they have released a new video for “The Shadow of God’s Hand”.

Big|Brave are pleased to announce European tour dates in April and May 2022 in support of their latest album, “Vital” out now on Southern Lord. Dates and details below. 

On their fifth album “Vital”, the core trio of Robin Wattie, Mathieu Ball and Tasy Hudson traverse minimalism and instinct, structure/freedom and meticulous timing, elements that have been the cornerstones of Big|Brave’s precise, rhythmical sound.

Today, Kills Birds are sharing their ferocious new single “Rabbit”, the opening track and first song to be released from their second album “Married”, out via their new label home Royal Mountain Records and KRO Records on November 12th, 2021.

The Melvins announce their most ambitious project yet: “Five Legged Dog” (October 15th, 2021, Ipecac Recordings), a 36-song newly recorded, acoustic collection featuring a career-spanning collection of songs, from 1987’s “Gluey Porch Treatments” to 2017’s “A Walk With Love & Death”, the entire gamut of the legendary band’s catalogue is represented.

New York City’s critically revered avant-garde, industrial-punk three-piece, Pop. 1280, are set to release their 5th full-length album, “Museum on the Horizon”, on September 24th, 2021, via Profound Lore Records.

Today, the band has revealed the record’s first single, “Noncompliant”. Stream the new track below!
