OMG! OMG! On November 3, Fat Wreck Chords will release “Human Movement”, a split album from Direct Hit and PEARS. This 12 track scorcher features five new songs from each band, plus one cover of their counterpart’s material. You can get your first taste today by streaming “Blood On Your Tongue” by Direct Hit, and “Ardous Angel” by PEARS below.

For more on the release, check out what front-man Nick Woods from Direct Hit, and Brian Pretus from PEARS had to say about joining forces:

Nick Woods: “We’re really proud of how this record turned out, not only because all the tunes on it are rippers, but because we got to collaborate on it with some of our best friends. Splits like these rarely work with everyone involved playing to the others’ strengths. I’m really glad the stars aligned here in a way where the whole thing came together as a unified release, from one of the coolest record labels in the biz right now.”

Brian Pretus: “We’ve been talking about doing this for a long time, since like one of our first tours, which was with Direct Hit. It’s pretty surreal that we finally got to make it happen, and I couldnt be happier with how both sides of this thing turned out.”

If you pre-order the album from iTunes or Bandcamp, you’ll get an instant download of a song from each band.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Hybrids.

Their stock in trade: bouncy rhythms, chunky guitar and gnarly two part harmony. Keen pop-punk ears may hear the distinct efforts of Kody Templeman (of Teenage Bottlerocket and The Lillingtons) on guitar and backing vocals. Templeman previously fronted the band in 1994.

The debut LP When It’s Over will be available soon on Clearview Records. Lead single “A Million Minutes” is everything pop-punk should be. Fast, a little snotty, and fun. We’ll have more details on a release date when they become available.

To tide you over till the release, check out the single below, and let us know what you think in the comments!
