A couple recommendations that I don't see previously mentioned. XO - Heart https://xotheband.bandcamp.com/album/heart This came out a handful of years ago. I think it's excellent and can be found new for under $10. Sweam - Lounge Music For Cat People https://sweam.bandcamp.com/album/lounge-music-for-cat-people They only pressed 25 of these on vinyl, released 2020. From Norway, shoegaze with enough jangle to be accessible. Tracks Jamie and D'arcy remind me a bit of Foals.

There is also a purple with black smoke according to their Facebook

This EP rips. Everyone needs to listen to it.

Yellow back up bump.

My deluxe smoke copy is the same, The Maze is unlistenable it sounds like its scratched to shit. Not sure if the black or gold pressings are any better

Same. I was fortunate enough to see them live back in 2005, pretty sure it was with Anberlin, Midtown and The Juliana Theory. "Sorry" and "The Distance" are some jams that get played on the regular!

You mean to tell me you can’t remember the phrase “here comes the shock” after it’s been repeated 32 fucking times?! /sarcasm

Haven't been this pumped about a release in a very long time. Hell yes! Also, Number One Fan's Compromises is the most underrated record from this era in my opinion. I listened to it again a few weeks ago and it's still great. I would legit help fund this record getting pressed.

I drove down to DC at Black Cat for one of their final shows. They were awesome. Such a great band and highlighted a really fun part of my life, they'll always hold a special place.

That would be my guess. Finish out livestreams and maybe announce the album when they get to Lowborn and then do a livestream on or after the release date? They confirmed on one of the first couple livestreams that they had already been on working on a new album for a while now. Don't think it's been mentioned in the more recent streams.

Chic Fil-a al tastes like bigotry.

Steadfast has been killing it these last few years! Recently got the Death & Taxes reissue, and finally got Letterbox-both looks and sound phenomenal. I posted my Brandtson collection on Instagram last week: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPzbZVMMI4/?igshid=1gf7m41d0341w
