blackrat another great 3 tracks from my favourite band at moment . love the music & love that voice Favorite track: Survivor.

Elise C Honestly the whole ep is great but survivor is just amazing. It’s a song that made me feel like I actually had a voice and hit home in so many ways. It honestly makes me not feel like a victim anymore and is cathartic for me to listen to. Thank you so much yall for putting so much out there for us to hear Favorite track: Survivor.

cob4lt This is an absolutely fantastic punk record, every song is great and I can't wait to hear what the band makes next Favorite track: Strike.

about

Our new EP ‘The Future Is Dark’ will be released via Hassle Records on 14th September.

The EP is named after a Virginia Woolf quote that writer Rebecca Solnit uses as a starting point for her essay ‘Woolf’s Darkness,’ in ‘Men Explain Things To Me.’ She writes about accepting uncertainty and not fearing the dark or the unknown because actually we don’t know what will happen next. She describes despair and optimism both as forms of certainty that create grounds for not acting, whereas hope pushes us to act and make change in whatever ways we can. “The dark, just like the future, is full of possibilities" - it makes me think about how its only in the dark that we can see the stars and think about ourselves as just tiny parts of this cosmic system, as part of a bigger picture. I find it really grounding and inspiring to feel individually small but part of something huge.

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimepsychic

Can't think of another band that delivers their message with such clarity and venom. Layered on the best thrash this side of Potemkin City Limits, with the guitar riffs almost Voivod like. Topped off with hard hitting drums and thunderous bass captured perfectly by J Robbins giving a full sound like his work with Coliseum. LOVE THIS!! LukeSpurs
