Very excited to announce that the next Framework release will be the debut album by our good friends in Longings! Longings explore the dark passages of post-punk with an intricate and melodic edge. Both bleak and levitative, their self-titled debut aggressively conquers themes of frustration & isolation. The Western Massachusetts trio, comprised of Meghan Minior, Will Killingsworth, and Cole Lanier, have grown and intensified their sound dramatically since the release of their 2013 demo tape, and it truly shows on these recordings. Over the course of eight songs, the band crafts an acute and urgent album by way of dynamic guitar work, compelling vocals, and spirited delivery. We could not be happier to release this record to the world! The album will see release on September 18th, 2015 via Framework.

I am beyond excited to announce that next month will see the release of ‘Confused' by Gluebag as the latest offering from Framework: Hailing from the deep and storied woods of Western Massachusetts, Gluebag deliver an exceptional collection of luring, blown out sounds with their ‘Confused' LP. Featuring members of SQRM, World Domination, and Crystalline Roses, this 3 piece blends the songwriting of late-60s rock with the urgency of American hardcore punk to create a sound that is far from commonplace in the current underground scene. Originally recorded in 2008 and distributed on a small number of cassette tapes by the band, we're thrilled to celebrate Gluebag's recent return from dormancy with the release of 'Confused' in it's original intended form on vinyl. Fans of Neil Young, Dead Moon, and true punk will rejoice at the existence of Gluebag, and at the absorbing songs found within ‘Confused’. Confused by Gluebag will be released on March 18th on black vinyl LP with download card via Framework. Hear the track “I Am Not Right” from Confused here: http://frameworklabel.tumblr.com http://soundcloud.com/framework-label http://frameworklabel.bandcamp.com/

I’m extremely happy to announce that the next Framework release will be the new No Sir, I Won’t 12” EP, The Door. Boston’s No Sir, I Won’t return with a new EP of unique and complex hardcore punk. Drawing inspiration from all corners of the punk spectrum, No Sir, I Won’t is able to create a wholly unique and refreshing sound not often heard in today’s punk scene. Comprised of 6 songs, and clocking in at over 20 minutes in length, The Door is an dynamic album that mixes the anger of Conflict with the melody of early Chumbawamba. The Door by No Sir, I Won’t will be released in June 25th on yellow vinyl 12” with download card.
