Punknews is excited to premiere a new track from Toronto pop-punk act Coming Clean! The song, "Burning Bridges," is off of the quartet's upcoming EP Dead End // Detour, which is due out this Friday, May 3rd. Coming Clean plays a brand of high energy pop-punk that puts a whole lot of sound and energy into each fist-pumping, sing-along song.
Drummer Scott Lougheed has this to say about the track:
Punknews is chuffed to bring you the next new track from Bad Buzz's new album Try Harder. "Day and Night" is the second song released from the upcoming album, which is due out May 31st. If this all seems familiar, the band debuted the first track from the EP here on Punknews two weeks ago, and we'll keep bringing you a new track every two weeks up until the release of the EP.
While the previous song, "Talkin' Shit," was a mid-tempo, cheery romp, this one's a bit harder, a bit snottier, but still a kick to listen to.
Bad Buzz is playing a hometown launch party the night of release, and you can check out the details of that, as well as listen to the new song, below.
Punknews is excited to premiere a new single from UK act Tape It Shut. The track, "Self Deprecating Humour," is off of the band's upcoming Dinosaurs VS Robots EP, which is due out May 4th. The song is unabashedly English punk in its delivery, and very reminiscent of Dick Lucas' acts SUBHUMANS UK and Citizen Fish.
Per vocalist/guitarist Dan Kilvert, the song exposes some deep personal sentiments:
Long-running act Ten Foot Pole are now streaming the first two tracks from their upcoming album Escalating Quickly. The LP, their first of new music since 2004 (not including two new tracks on 2017's Setlist), is due out May 10th via Thousand Islands Records. The band will be embarking on a huge North American tour in support of the new album starting in May, and running through end of July with a few breaks in between.

Punknews is delighted to premiere Down Memory Lane's new EP, Catch, in full a day before it is officially released! This Montreal-based melodic punk quintet has always had an uncanny knack for capturing the best of the late-90s EpiFat sound, while adding a more contemporary feel to the compositions. This new EP definitely lives up to the standard that DML has set, and more!
As previously reported, Catch is a companion piece to last year's Release EP. While both EPs are digital-only, they will be combined into the LP Catch & Release for physical distribution via Thousand Islands Records, available May 11th. On that date they will also be playing their EP release show (details below).
Until tomorrow when you can pick up a digital copy of your own, feel free to enjoy the EP in full, courtesy of Punknews.

The release date on Catch is still TBA, but we'll get that info to you when it is available.
