Greetings, and welcome to the Dying Scene Record Radar. If it’s your first time here, thank you for joining us! This is the weekly* column where we cover all things punk rock vinyl; new releases, reissues… you name it, we’ve probably got it. Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and break out those wallets, because it’s go time. Let’s get into it!
Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:
Have you heard about Strung Out‘s new record? It’s called Dead Rebellion and it’s due out on April 5th. Naturally, Fat Wreck‘s US store has already sold through its mysterious color variant. However! You can still get that variant (whatever it ends up being) from their European and Aussie stores. The band also has an exclusive (not-so-mysterious) white color variant available on their own webstore. The first single “Cages” is pretty fuckin bad ass – it reminds me a lot of Agents of the Underground, which I thought was also a bad ass record. Perhaps this is a return to form for Strung Out? We shall see.
Last week we hosted the exclusive premiere of The Carmines‘ new record Work Harder Not Smarter. Who are The Carmines? I’m glad you asked! The Carmines are a Ramonescore band featuring Slick Shoes‘ Joe Nixon on drums and Greg Togawa (also from Slick Shoes) on guitar. The singer’s name is Nate Roberts – I’m not sure if he’s in any other bands of note; sorry Nate! Anyway, this record’s pretty sweet. You should listen to it & buy it sweet blue colored vinyl from Memorable But Not Honorable if you’re in the US and I Buy Records if you’re in Europe. Fuck yeah!
Rufio’s last record, 2010’s Anybody Out There, is getting released on vinyl for the first time ever thanks to Take This To Heart Records. There are three different color variants up for pre-order here. One of those fuckers already sold out so you might wanna act fast if this one’s on your bucket list!
The very pleasantly named Puke N Vomit Records has a bunch of GBH reissues up for pre-order; three, to be precise. They’ve got snazzy new variants of Leather, Bristles, No Survivors and Sick Boys…, City Baby Attacked By Rats, and City Baby’s Revenge. Each comes in a deluxe gatefold jacket with added liner notes, posters and a bunch of other shit. They also have a 3xLP box set with all three records on red wax with a shirt and stuff. Very cool!
We’re on a hot streak here with reissues and Ten Foot Pole’s gonna keep it going with a new pressing of Unleashed, which surprisingly is the first since its original release in 1997. La Agonia De Vivir (yes I copy + pasted that) is reissuing the record with 200 copies on transparent yellow wax & 300 copies on black wax. Get it here!
Codefendants continue their reign as kings of the $20 2-song 10″ with not one, but two new $20 2-song 10″s. Well, one of these technically has 3 songs kinda sorta, and that one’s only $18. Anyway! Here’s Living Las Vegas and Prison Camp. Eat it up.
Eccentric Pop Records comes comes out swinging with their first release of 2024, a new Groovie Ghoulies 7″ featuring never-before-released recordings from the World Contact Day era. They pressed 500 copies on “marbled burgundy” colored vinyl, which you can purchase with fungible currency here.
And because I’m a smartass, lets compare the economics of this release vs the Codefendants 10″: The Ghoulies 2-song 7″ is $8.00, or $1.14 per inch / $4.00 per song. The Codefendants 2-song 10″ is $20.00, or $2.00 per inch / $10.00 per song. The numbers don’t lie, folks!
And here comes Red Scare with the most economical 7″ of them all! A brand new 4-song 7″ from Broadway Calls, and it’s only $6? How will they ever financially recover from this? I thought it cost like 700 bagillion dollars to press records now! Grab the 7″ here and catch Broadway Calls on tour with Teenage Bottlerocket next month.
It seems Rad Girlfriend Records is gonna keep doing what they’ve been doing in the year of our lord 2024, and that’s putting out an assload of records. Up first is a new album from Chicago’s Heavy Seas. Distortion Days is due out on January 26th and you can pre-order it on translucent yellow, opaque maroon, or black vinyl here. Can’t decide which variant you want? Just buy all three you fucking dumbass.
Rad Girlfriend’s 2nd new release is from Acumen, a new band featuring The Copyrights frontman Adam Fletcher. Their debut album Mark VII consists of a bunch of covers of obscure 60’s rock songs which I will not attempt to pretend I know. Get it on “seaglass”, translucent blue, or black vinyl here. Or just buy all three variants of this one, too.
Jon Snodgrass is releasing a new album called Barge At Will, which features Bill Stevenson on drums and bass. This is being released on colorful polyvinyl chloride music discs by SBAM Records in March. They’ve got white and yellow color variants available on all their webstores. The friendly canucks at Thousand Islands Records have the album on blue vinyl and black wax. Here’s a live recording of one of the songs:
And because it just wouldn’t be the Record Radar without a new variant of Green Day’s new record Saviors, here’s a new variant of Green Day’s new record Saviors. Well, this isn’t really a new variant, but it also kinda is.
The UK Indie color variant was supposed to be the same as the US Indie color variant (pink/black split), but I guess record stores started receiving their shipments and they were completely different. So here ya have it, variant #23 – pink / black marble. Banquet Records has it up on their store, I’m sure if you live in the UK you can get this from pretty much any record store within spitting distance.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you all we’re keeping track of all the variants of this record on this article here. Bookmark that page and stay tuned for variant #s 24, 25 & 26 coming soon!
Well, that’s all, folks. Another Record Radar in the books. As always, thank you for tuning in.

The Welsh quintet, also known as Neck Deep, has returned with a new self-titled album, and we hear them returning to their early roots. But after 12 years as a band, I wondered how they would keep up with their peers’ releases last year, and wow… They went beyond and above my expectations excellently. The singles were catchy and good, but what about the rest of the album? Proper amazing.
‘Dumbstruck Dumbf**k’ opens the album in the most energetic and is irresistible and catchy, thanks to the infectious guitar riffs and supported by the dynamic vibe that continues throughout the song by the drums. While the lyrics reflect on being “good enough” for someone, Neck Deep wonders if they are missing out on being with them. On ‘Sort Yourself Out’, the band treats us to a classic pop-punk track with fast-paced guitars and drums in the background. At the same time, Ben Barlow sings about falling for someone who just isn’t having any of it and urging him to “sort himself out”, all while he is out there buying flowers and apologizing for whatever.
And while we’ve been listening to ‘Heartbreak Of The Century’ since it was released in 2023, there’s no denying that it still stands as one of the best tracks on the album. A catchy chorus, “You’re so smart / But my love just ain’t enough / Baby, that’s okay /I was thinking about fucking myself anyway”, and for an album closer ‘Moody Weirdo’ as energetic and lively as the rest of the record, which honestly is the only way to end this album. Would some love ballad have stuck its landing and message as well as ‘Moody Weirdo’? Likely not, or at least that’s my own opinion.
To summarize, Neck Deep has made one of the best albums of their career here. It’s just a top above their debut album Wishful Thinking, well-polished in the excellent sense, wildly mixed, all done by Seb Barlow, Ben Barlow’s brother, and the band’s bassist. The lyrics are written to much delight, with some rather catchy verses and chorus throughout the album, and no band member misses their time to shine on each track. I’m probably what you’d call a casual Neck Deep fan, but I might consider seeing it on my “End Of The Year” list for 2024. Well done lads.

We are nineteen days into 2024, and it seems fate (or my undying search for new music) has thrown a brand new album into my lap, destined to be the soundtrack of my life for the next six months (sorry, friends). bad new world, yes, styled like this, is a name that rolls off the tongue and is the new side-project of Nick Casasanto, whose name is familiar to many due to his role as the rhythmic guitarist in the band Knuckle Puck and also happens to be the genius behind the new self-titled album bad new world. During six songs and 18 minutes, it’s hard not to be captivated by Casasanto’s songwriting skills and overall pleasant vocal range.
Kicking off the bad new world album with a punch, ‘culture violence’ emerges as the inaugural track, wielding subtly distorted guitar riffs and infectious lyrics. Transitioning into ‘archer,’ we’re treated to a delightful guitar ballad that induces swoons and showcases peak songwriting. ‘shade’ brings a nostalgic echo of Knuckle Puck’s ’20/20,’ specifically in its instrumental delivery, intertwining reminiscent sounds.
‘simmer’ unfolds with gentle vocals, lulling the listener until a climactic turn at the end, where the instruments crank up, delivering a surge of frustration during the poignant line, “Are you ready to simmer down?” — a moment where the shivers down my spine were very noticeable. As the album nears its close, ’empty’ presents as a tender guitar ballad until a pivotal 1:50-minute mark. Synths are infused in the song, adding another emotional layer.
Across these six tracks, bad new world takes us on a rollercoaster of highs and lows. From the anthemic’ culture violence,’ rallying with the empowering mantra “you won’t divide us, we’re culture violence,” to the more poignant moments like “I’m caught up in your glare / enough to be aware / that life can be unfair / but not for long, cause I don’t want to feel empty,” from ’empty’ the album displays a spectrum of emotions within the realm of pop-punk.
In kicking off my first review of the year, I pondered if these album-induced feelings would fade. Yet, after some intense listening, often accompanied by a glass of wine, I can confidently say that the bad new world, album, and artist are here to stay in my life. And despite Nick Casasanto’s well-traveled pop-punk adventure, it can be like rolling the dice when you venture into side projects. However, Casasanto firmly proves that he isn’t “just” the guy from Knuckle Puck, but he is much more. Here he is, with complete creative control, that shows that spending years on a project can produce something beautiful.
bad new world didn’t play it safe on the album, but they did bring back that sweet nostalgia I’ve been missing, all while keeping things modern. Bravo, Casasanto; the next round of beers is on me.
This well-crafted album has the magical power to whisk me away to the reminiscent vibes of Jack’s Mannequin, Yellowcard, and The Starting Line. If these names ring a bell, you should listen to bad new world and let them become your new favorite band.

San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall was built in 1907 after the Great Fire and Earthquake of 1906. After many uses and incarnations, it opened as a music venue in 1972 and has been open since. This January, it hosted some veterans of the California punk scene for a night of great music.
Frightwig started in 1982 as an all-woman San Francisco punk band with a distinctly feminist message. They released two albums in the ’80s which proved to be an enormous influence on the Riot Girl movement. After breaking up in 1994, they reformed in 2014 and released a new record, We Need To Talk, on Label 51 Records.
Kid Congo Powers has been making music since the ’70s including stints with Gun Club, The Cramps and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, before founding The Pink Monkey Birds in 1997. Since then, they have released four albums on In The Red Records with a new album, That Delicious Vice, coming this April.
The Avengers were among the first punk bands to form in California in 1977, famously opening for The Sex Pistols at Winterland. Their initial incarnation only lasted two years and produced two EPs, the second of which was produced by Pistol Steve Jones and released after the band had split. Original members Penelope Houston and Greg Ingraham reformed the group in 1999 and have been playing regularly since 2004.

Another day, another wonderful premiere gracing the pages of DyingScene.com. Today’s exclusive comes from the pride of Edwardsville, Illinois, Modern Angst! Check out the brand new music video for their latest single “Indigestion” below.
Here’s what the band had to say about the new single:
“Indigestion” is about struggling through resentments and coming to the realization that there is no positive path forward without confronting your own contributions to those resentments. It’s about letting go in order to move forward with healing.
Stay tuned for much more to come from Modern Angst! A little birdie told me they’ll be releasing their debut full-length album this year on Punkerton Records.

John Benoit, founder of post-hardcore band Resilia, talks with Dying Scene about the band’s origins, influences, and what 2024 has in store for the band.
DS: Who is Resilia? How and when did Resilia form?
R: The band is me on guitar, Daisy Chamberlin on vocals, Ethan Cate on bass, Grant Dickerson on drums, and either Gray Trainer or Owen Robinson on guitar. Gray does a lot of work with pop artists writing and touring so we have Owen a lot of the time too and he also helps do a bit of writing so I consider him in the band.
I started writing/recording the first Resilia tunes right before moving out of Boston to LA in 2018. I sat on ’em for a while because I couldn’t find a singer, but then I recruited Gray and Ethan from my old band and put out the instrumentals for “Royal Flush” and “Gambit”. When the pandemic hit I put out feelers for guest vocals and discovered Daisy, who ended up singing on those tunes, and shortly after became a full member of the band. Grant came into the picture a little while later, I believe in early 2022 or late 2021 and we immediately knew he was the guy! I love everyone’s musical personality a ton and I’m super lucky to work with them through Resilia.
DS: What are some key musical influences that have shaped the band’s sound? Are there any specific artists or genres that have had a significant impact on your music?
R: I’m most influenced by Coheed and Cambria, The Fall of Troy and Van Halen. They all have so much personality in their music and playing which really speaks to me. I love all kinds of music though, stuff like Frank Zappa, Taylor Swift, video game music, etc. Pretty much anything can influence my writing. Jazz and even classic rock are definitely some big influences on the approach I try to take towards my guitar playing but at the end of the day it’s all filtered through Coheed and TFOT for me. The rest of the band also have really varied musical backgrounds too. Grant never really even played this kind of music before joining but has absolutely killed it. Daisy and Gray are both huge fans of The 1975, Ethan has a background in marching band bass and listens to everything imaginable, and Owen leans heavier and will someday maybe get us to sneak a blastbeat in there somewhere.
DS: Can you walk us through the band’s creative process for writing, composing, and recording Well Intentioned: The Name of the Game and more generally? How do you collaborate on creating songs?
R: The way it went for all the songs on the EP is I would write the entire instrumental on a music notation/guitar tab program called Guitar Pro. Most of the songs only have a handful of parts that I actually wrote on guitar first. Once I had drums, bass, and two guitar parts ready, I’d see what the band thinks and if we liked it we’d start working on the parts and everyone starts putting their own spin on things. We also had Brody Taylor Smith from Invent Animate and Satyr program the drums since we were already working on the album before Grant joined. Brody absolutely killed it and was a pleasure to work with.
DS: Tell us more about Well Intentioned: The Name Of The Game. What inspired it, and what can listeners expect in terms of themes or musical direction?
R: Musically I think it’s just grass-fed farm-to-table progressive post-hardcore. I wrote a lot of the music during the pandemic before most of the band fully came together and I was trying to blend a few things like classic rock in “Hey There Pretty Girl…”, the more Coheed approach in some parts of a few songs and other stuff into my general idea of what progressive post-hardcore is. As far as the title for the EP, that came from the demo title for “Bad Lemon/Anjou” and it doesn’t really mean much I just made it up when I was writing the song just to call it something, but I ended up getting attached to the title because I liked the sound of it and we eventually decided to make it the title for the EP.
DS: How do you approach the visual representation for your music? How did you settle on a Gator to serve as a symbol of the band?
R: All of our cover art has been made by one of my close friends from college, John Rego (@johnrego1234 on Instagram). I’ve always loved his art so I just reached out and asked him to do whatever he wanted and he came back with the gator art for “Royal Flush” and “Gambit”. We all loved the gator so much and they’re actually Daisy’s favorite animal so we wanted to keep him involved. Later on when we were looking for art for Well Intentioned it seemed natural to go back to him. We definitely want to continue working John as much as we can for future releases.
DS: What do you enjoy most about performing live? Are there any memorable or unique experiences from your live performances that have made a lasting impact?
R: Performing live has pretty much always been my favorite part of playing music but we’ve unfortunately not done a ton of gigging just yet on account of the band being split up in a bunch of different places. In the two tours we’ve done so far the best part has been seeing people really enjoying our music and singing along to songs I wrote sitting alone in my bedroom in Boston unsure of what I was doing with them. Since we don’t get to do it super often it’s always really special to get to play with the whole band so I think that’d have to be my favorite part overall.
DS: If Resilia could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
R: Some more “in genre” collaborations that would be a dream come true for me would be Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria, Thomas Erak from The Fall of Troy or Anthony Green from Circa Survive/Saosin. But, to be honest, my real dream is to get Yung Gravy to rap over a post-hardcore breakdown.
DS: What are Resilia’s plans for 2024? Can we expect any new music or tours?
R: I moved to Florida a few months ago so Daisy and I could write the next batch of tunes and we’ve got some stuff cooking! We’ll hopefully start recording some of it soon and start putting out singles at some point in 2024. We don’t have any concrete tour plans at the moment but we’re interested in trying to play some local shows in or around Orlando in 2024 too!

From the depths of the Bay (Tampa Bay, that is) arises a mysterious new two piece punk rock studio project (also featuring an Australian citizen): Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Crash Code!
These guys just released their very first single, a bad ass melodic punk song called “So Long”, a few months ago. I loved that song and told them I wanted to premiere the next single from their upcoming album. So here we are, they’re back with another new single “Sayonara Hitomi”, which is a complete change of pace in the most refreshing way. We’re exclusively premiering the song today – check it out below!
Crash Code will be releasing a full-length album at some point this year, so stay tuned for more to come on that. I already have a feeling this record’s probably gonna be one of my favorites this year just based on what I’ve heard so far. Here’s what the band had to say about it:
“We really try hard to be creative and not follow any templates. Every song is different and unique. No rules perspective. Only important if we like it. Some may not??? They all have special attributes to them to make them interesting. For example, one song that will be on the album is called “Skips a Beat” and, it quite literally skips a beat in the measure. It was a bitch to play and record that one. Just a melting pot of so many influences. We hope people find it refreshing, creative, and different.”
