DC two piece act Teen Mortgage met on Craigslist and began playing music together in January 2016. They originally formed in Liverpool,UK but later relocated to Washington DC and apparently have caught the eye of US hardcore legend Ian MacKaye.

The band have released a music video for their song “Is It.” The track is taken from their debut EP “Strange Times” which was released in May 2017. You can watch the video below.

Explaining the poor quality of the video, drummer Ed said:

“We went out the to the garage and filmed us performing our song about being generally uncertain about your whole life. Unfortunately right after, I dropped the tape down the toilet. When we fished it out and put it in the VCR, it just got dead warped and weird and we just went “all right, sound”.

I’m kicking off my first post of the day with some great news! Two superb UK bands are hitting the road together for a short tour.

As I have previously stated, Natterers are one of my favourite bands at the moment; if any of you have been lucky enough to see them live you will understand why. You can’t help being drawn in by their charismatic vocalist as well as their ripping tunes. Their debut demo was excellent and there new release “Toxic Care” is even better with six killer tracks which you can check out here. They are truly one of the most exciting new bands in the scene.

Jaded Eyes have been around for a few years now and have released 2 quality albums so far. They are made up of members from great bands such as Vorhees, The Horror and John Holmes. I thoroughly enjoyed their last release “The Eternal Sea” and can’t wait to get my ears around the new release. They come across as an experienced band that knows how to play great music with good lyrical content. You can listen to a couple of tracks from “The Eternal Sea” here.

Both bands are playing 5 dates together to celebrate the release of their new records with the first show kicking off tomorrow. I’ve been lucky enough to catch both bands playing together twice this year and they never disappoint. You can see the dates below and I highly recommend checking them out if you can; you can’t go wrong with these two!

Both records are out via Serial Bowl Records and Boss Tuneage Records. Natterers “Toxic Care” came out in June and Jaded Eyes new 7″ titled “Hatespeak” will be released this coming Friday.
