Dirty Junk is a noise rock/grunge punk band out of Minneapolis that has just signed with Don’t Panic Records and Distro. They are releasing their first EP on the label, titled On Yr Knees, this coming January. It is the follow-up to their debut album, Snot, which was self-released earlier this year.

The new album is expected to show off the bands progression, albeit through chaotic walls of sound and noise-ification. It’s riot girl music, leaning on raw emotional response through personal trials and political turmoil. The label is releasing a limited, 100-cassette run of the new album on purple translucent tape on January 19, 2019. Pre-orders are available here.

Dirty Junk has released a new music video for the EP’s title-track and first single, “On Yr Knees”, depicting a young woman’s revenge fantasy of getting even, and finally taking out her frustrations and torments on her abuser… Sadly, no actual abusers were hurt in the making of this video. Stream “On Yr Knees” below.  [Read more…]

Greetings scenesters. Today we are premiering a new track off the upcoming Senses Fail tribute album being released by Pacific Ridge Records, which can be purchased here. This time it’s the title-track off their fourth studio album, The Fire, a song which, you may remember, was previously included on Senses Fail’s Greatest Hits.

The culprits are Titans In Time. They are a Cleveland alternative band, currently in the middle of a twelve-day tour through the American Midwest, who offers a unique take on the track, throwing some of their own influences and imaginative perspective into the mix. The melodies are tight and enthusiastic, with some seriously good musicianship going into tackling the song. Who doesn’t love a good cover? Check out Titans In Time cover “The Fire” by Senses Fail below.
