We are releasing a new 7" from Gut Feeling. We did their first 7" last year. It's killer hardcore and the new EP is absolutely blistering. I'm pumped to see what they come up for the art, if you picked up their first 7" you'll know why (it's die cut and screenprinted and amazing). Dave just cut the ref for this, and we hope to have this out by the end of the year. Here is the more formal write up for it: Gut Feeling is a North Carolina hardcore band with an impressive musical pedigree (ex-Catharsis, Undying, Torch Runner, Nightbear, etc). Musically these guys deviate from their previous more metal-laced endeavors and the only part that really carries over from their previous bands, is top notch song-writing, structure and musicianship. Gut Feeling is bringing back anthemic hardcore in the vein of Champion, Comeback Kid, Modern Life is War, and Propagandhi. Their new EP was recorded at Legitimate Business by Kris Hilbert and features 6 new blistering tracks. The new 7” is slated to come out this winter on Bitter Melody Records and Headfirst Records and it follows up their 2013 EP (also available on vinyl from Bitter Melody and Headfirst). The first track (Living With Ghosts) can be heard here: http://youtu.be/eFz1i3d5Kbk Members: Chuck Johnson - Chris Gannon - James Chang - Dan Allen - Nick Troutman www.facebook.com/gutfeelingnc Bittermelodyrecords.limitedrun.com Headfirstrecords.limitedrun.com www.facebook.com/bittermelodyrecords www.bittermelodyrecords.com

I'm pretty stoked about this. Bitter Melody's first release this year is coming from NC's Gut Feeling. Gut Feeling is a new hardcore band consisting of various members of older hardcore bands scattered around the North Carolina area (former members of Catharsis, Undying, Nightbear, etc). Musically these guys deviate from the previous more metal-laced endeavors and the only part that really carries over from the previous is top notch song-writing, structure and musicianship. Gut feeling does a great job bringing back anthemic hardcore in the vein of bands such as Champion, Comeback Kid, Modern Life is War, etc think fast polished hardcore punk with melodic guitar overtones, a tasteful spattering of gang vocals and sing along parts. they recorded a 4 song EP in November 2012 (recorded by Kris Hilbert/Legitimate Business and mastered by Brad Boatright/Audiosiege) and then made it available online shortly thereafter. Headfirst! and Bitter Melody having worked together before and already looking to do another project together - briefly discussed interest in putting out this EP on vinyl. A few days later we got together with the band, and it was decided Headfirst! and Bitter Melody would co-release this EP as their first projects of 2013! With the combined artistic talents of the band and both labels involved you can expect this to be a top notch release for the start of 2013! you can stream/download the EP for free at their bandcamp: http://gutfeeling.bandcamp.com/ Gut Feeling has started booking shows and can be contacted at [email protected] upcoming shows: 12/29 - Raleigh, NC - TBA - Over and Out, Snake Baptist, Mad Dog, Gut Feeling 1/2 - Winston Salem, NC - Krankies - Foundation, Out Crowd, Gut Feeling 1/3 - Charlotte, NC - The Milestone - Narratives, Low to the Earth, Ghostlimb, Gut Feeling 1/17 - Raleigh, NC - Kings - Catharsis, Man WIll Destroy Himself, Cynarae, Dead in the Dirt, Gut Feeling http://www.facebook.com/gutfeelingNC http://www.facebook.com/headfirstrecords http://www.facebook.com/bittermelodyrecords
