Pity Party announce new EP, release new version of "Suicide Handbook"

Pity Party have announced that they will be releasing a new EP. The EP is called Sick Sad World Survival Guide and features re-recordings/re-imaginings of songs from their first album Gnarbage (which was released in 2016) along with one new song called “Ionize My Enemies” and their cover of “Toxic” by Britney Spears. Their new version of “Suicide Handbook” is out now. It will be out on August 25 via SBAM Records and proceeds from the sale of their red and blue split variant will be donated to A Safe Place in Oakland and PAAR (Pittsburgh Action Against Rape) in Pittsburgh. The band cut ties with A-F Records earlier this week following allegations that surfaced on a recent episode of the enough. podcast against an unnamed singer of a political punk band who many believe is Justin Sane of Anti-Flag. Pity Party released Concrete in 2020. Check out the song and tracklist below.

<p>Depending on where one calls home, there’s a good chance this summer season has been a total washout, with the incessant rain spoiling our outdoor fun just when we need it most. But for Salt Ashes, the rain serves a greater purpose from above, as the London singer-songwriter welcomes it to wash away the trauma that prevents us from moving forward in life. The emphatic, empowering dose of dark and dazzling alt-pop hits the streams today (July 25) via Radikal […]</p>

Welcome back to the Dying Scene Band Spotlight! Our latest installment brings us to Rotterdam, Netherlands, where we meet Dutch “post-pop punk” band Lone Wolf!

They have an awesome new record called Haze Wave out now on Stardumb Records. If you like songs about the overwhelming existential dread of daily life tinged with bubblegum pop hooks, you’ll wanna check this record out. Songs like “Ready to Break”, “Meet Me in the Middle”, and “Terrible Heartache” will have you bouncing around while simultaneously on the brink of tears. Quite the dichotomy, isn’t it?

Anyway, this record kicks ass and I haven’t heard enough people talking about it. Check it out below and buy the LP here (US) or here (EU). Also, Lone Wolf will be paying us a visit here in the states this fall; catch them on their east coast tour and at The Fest! Dates are below.

See Lone Wolf on tour!

Sep 15 MJC Lillebonne – Nancy, France
Oct 19 Faces Brewing Co. – Malden, MA
Oct 20 The Broadway – Brooklyn, NY
Oct 21 The Skid Row Garage – York, PA
Oct 22 Pie Shop – Washington, DC
Oct 27 Fest – Gainesville, FL

Punk Rock Saves Lives has been a part of our community for a while now and through their Health and Wellness and Bone Marrow Transplant programs have probably saved numerous lives. Part of their success centers around being embedded into the scene as much as possible, literal boots on the ground! Odds are, if you’ve been to any larger shows or Fests over the past few years, you’ve seen one of their booths or tables swabbing for possible marrow donors, offering free earplugs to us forgetful types or educating people on how to use Narcan.

That level of omni-presence is not possible without their incredibly hardworking van which has logged mucho miles. A van which broke down pretty badly about a month ago on the way back from a long, nationwide tour. In an effort to get the van back in operating condition, the non-profit has set up an online campaign to help raise funds for the repair bill. If you’re in a position to donate, please take a few minutes to check out their campaign website, here. Let’s find a way to keep these awesome people mobile enough to keep doing equally awesome things for our community. We’re all we have!
