One of the essential California screamo revival bands is Widowdusk. They have been releasing stellar EPs and splits for a few years, and really owning the live scene over there, and with this debut full length they prove why there has been so much damn hype out west. Let the 10 tracks of emotionally jarring screamo wash over you now, scramble for a cassette around ZBR Fest, and/or snag that 12” vinyl come mid-late summer.

Vancouver Island’s Hillsboro just released a new music video for “Novalynn”. CanaDave is buds with this band and is playing a few shows with them in May via his new band Mourn Recif. This material is kinda Strokes/emo-esque with the newer/unreleased material getting heavier. 12”s still in stock!!!

Operation X-Ray premieres from Basque and Burial Etiquette as well jams from Crossed and Pettersson.

Crossed got some love on the Brooklyn Vegan website. Check out the jam below or check the full list by clicking on this text. New EP in April!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SACROFUOCO = The new trajectory and band name for those formerly known as One Dying Wish. Excellent stuff!!! We will be getting a few copies from Icorrupt…today!
