Folk punk outfit Divided Heaven are now streaming their new album “Cold War.”
As stated previously by Jeff Berman, “Cold War is (and was) meant to be different, all around. It was recorded differently, written differently, and presented differently. It’s less singer-songwriter and more full-band; less a collection of songs and more of a cohesive group of songs. I simply can not waiting for people to hear it and feel it.”
Check out the new album below.
Folk punk outfit Divided Heaven have just announced that they’ll be shipping off to tour at the end of the month (beginning in Tempe, AZ) through the end of July. These guys’ new album “Cold War” will drop on July 20th which the tour comes in support of.
According to Jeff Berman, “Cold War is (and was) meant to be different, all around. It was recorded differently, written differently, and presented differently. It’s less singer-songwriter and more full-band; less a collection of songs and more of a cohesive group of songs. I simply can not waiting for people to hear it and feel it.”

Hopefully you haven’t put the finishing touches on your “Best of 2017” album lists yet, because we’ve got ourselves a pretty solid contender added to the field from seemingly out of nowhere! Well, out of New Jersey, but still.
It comes to us from none other than Jared Hart, probably best known for his role as frontman of Garden State punk band The Scandals. He released his first solo album, Past Lives & Pass Lines, a couple years back and went on tour both as a member of Brian Fallon’s band, The Crowes, and as a solo artist, where he performed alongside the likes of Frank Iero, Cory Branan and a bunch more. While on those shows, he had the occasion to perform a few of his solo songs alongside a full band, and got the bug to re-record some of the more standout tracks with a band in a studio setting. The result? A four-song EP called Past Life Regression…which is not only officially out today, but is officially available for “pay-what-you-want” download below. Check it out!
Past Lives & Pass Lines was released in November 2015 on Say-10 Records.
Texas punks Everymen have released a music video for their song “Shake Your Bones”. The video is great for All Hallows’ Eve, filmed in a graveyard, featuring a few zombies and possibly a drunk priest, it captures the spookiness of pumpkin day well.
You can check out the video below.
The song “Shake Your Bones” comes off the latest release from the band entitled “May Your Ashes Have Stories To Tell”. If your a fan of Morgan or the Raygun Cowboys be sure to check these guys out.

It’s been far too long since we heard new music from Boston four-piece punk outfit Choke Up, but your pals here at Dying Scene are stoked to help change that. The band have got a brand new album, Stormy Blue, due out at the end of next week (September 15th) on Say-10 Records.
To mark the occasion, we’ve teamed up to debut the new track, “Roadside Graves.” Here’s what Choke Up’s Sam Johnson has to say about the track:
“Roadside Graves starts side B of Stormy Blue. I think for all the distance we tried to put between this record and everything that came before, Roadside acts as a pretty good bridge, connecting our fast and loose punk rock past to a more pop forward present. Lyrically it’s a powder keg moment on the album; when everything erupts and you’re left looking the damage you’ve done. Stormy Blue really hinges on this track and it’s quickly become a new favorite of ours. Fun fact: it’s the first song we ever wrote in 3/4.”
Check out the lyrical powder keg below.
Pre-orders for Stormy Blue are available here. The album marks the band’s first since their debut full-length, 2015’s Black Coffee, Bad Habits.
As evidenced in part by his debut album, 2015’s Past Lives & Pass Lines, Jared Hart has been busy carving out a pretty legit niche for himself as a solo artist…that is when he’s not occupied by either his duties as founder/frontman of New Jersey punk band The Scandals or filling out the guitar and vocal sounds in Brian Fallon’s band, The Crowes.
Most recently, Hart has announced a run of solo European tour dates that’ll keep him busy from late September through mid October. The twelve-date run kicks off September 28th in the Netherlands, and finishes up just in time for Hart and a full backing band — some of whom will look familiar to all you fans of the larger Jersey punk scene –will support Racquet Club, the new band featuring (among others) Sergie Loobkoff from Samiam/Knapsack fame on their first run through the northeastern US.
Head below for the full rundown of Hart’s tour dates, and stay tuned for news on upcoming Hart solo music in the very near future!

So technically this is a little bit more of a "re-introducing" spotlight piece as Belgium's Chump actually got their start around 2001. They kicked around the scene for a bit until 2005 then disappeared. Until now. Pulling influences from exactly where you'd expect a European punk act from 2001 to pull from, Chump isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to melodic skate punk, but they are churning it out with passion and talent, doing the sub-genre serious justice. Give their new EP "Welcome To The Punk Rock Family" here - it's got one of the best instrumental, intro tracks I've heard this year.
