Laserchrist debut first songs

Laserchrist, a new outfit out of London, UK, has premiered their first two songs. The two tracks, "DIY Bother" and "Big Smoke City," come from the band's upcoming debut EP (also titled DIY Bother?), and Punknews will have more info on that release soon.

In the meantime you can listen to the title track below, or follow the link to their Soundcloud page to listen to both.

Neon Bone stream new LP in full

Punknews is excited to premiere German act Neon Bone's new LP, That Dog Won't Hunt, in full prior to its official release April 5th. Neon Bone, who started in 2010 as a solo act, has now added a full band playing energetic music where pop-punk goodness is king.

The album is the band's third LP (amongst countless singles, 7"s, and EPs), and is currently up for pre-order now via Monster Zero Records, with a USA release by Mom's Basement Records.

Monster Zero Records has this to say about the Neon Bone and the new album:

Tied To A Bear: “Melville”

Boston's melodic punk band Tied To A Bear. The track is called "Melville" and it will be released on their new album called True Places. True Places will be out on May 4th, 2018 through Gunner Records. Tied To A Bear featured members of Choke Up, Landmines, Wolves and the Radio, and singer/songwriter Jeff Rowe. The band will be embarking on their first tour of Europe in May to support the release. See below to listen to the track.

Our Lives in Cinema: “Talk You Up”

Another great day and another great Punknews exclusive. Our Lives In Cinema is a pop/melodic-punk five-piece out of London that mixes the best of a whole bunch of genres. Compositionally complicated but always a pleasure on the ears, these guys are like if Jason Beebout of Samiam decided to get together with Strung Out, but only to play Pegboy-inspired songs. Truly a catch!

The song, "Talk you Up," comes off of the band's second EP ALL TALK, which is due out March 23rd via Umlaut Records, with pre-orders up today.

OLIC's first, self-titled, EP was released just this past September, so let's hope that they keep up this pace!

At Face Value: 'Ivy and Echo'

We are thrilled to bring to you a Punknews exclusive stream premiere of Baltimore's At Face Value. The Baltimore based melodic pop punk band will be releaseing their first EP titled Ivy and Echo on March 16th, 2018. The record was produced by Seth Henderson (Knuckle Puck, Real Friends). See below to listen to the album.

Dead F*cking Serious: “Never Again”

Punknews is excited to premiere a new single by socio-political hardcore punk trio Dead Fucking Serious. The song, "Never Again," is inspired by the activism of the Stoneman Douglas High shooting survivors, especially those of pupil Emma Gonzalez, in confronting the carnage of gun violence in America, and the politicians and lobbyist groups which perpetuate it. Clocking in at less that 1 1/2 minutes, the song not only embodies the righteous anger and fear of living in a trigger-happy nation, but also the nascent determination of these teens to change the status quo.

DFS' most recent album, Squalor, was released in January of last year. You can read Punknews' four-star review of that album here after checking out the new single below (note- the track artist is listed as Sammy Warm Hands, who is the lead vocalist/guitarist of DFS, rest-assured this is officially a DFS song).

The Breeders: 'All Nerve'

Second In Line release single “Clark”

UK's Second In Line have released the twelfth and final track in their 2017 "A Track a Month" series. Although intended for a December release, the band was finally able to get it out as a free/name your price download for St. Valentine's Day.

The band intends to release all twelve tracks as a single album, iCandy in the near future.

Triple Sundae: “Indecisive”

Punknews is excited to debut the new single from UK punk quartet Triple Sundae. "Indecisive" is the first track released off of their upcoming EP, Peace of Mind. It starts out fast and pounding, and switches gears at unexpected times and in unexpected ways, transitioning back and forth from melodic punk to light pop and back again on a whim.

Hassan Afaneh, guitarist and lead vocalist, has this to say about the new track:
