Iconic shoe gaze/postpunk collective  A Shoreline Dream Ryan Policky and Erik Jeffries just released the full LP called "Loveblind" via Latenight Weekend Records following their critically acclaimed album "Melting" (2020). 

The sixth full-length album from the prog-goth shoegazers dives into the recollections and desires of the past while gazing in a wash of sound waves pointed towards a blinding future. Recorded from November 2021 - July 2022 in the Barnum suburb of Denver, Colorado, the single previously released "Alarms Stop Ringing" is accompanied by a video filmed at the Best Little Boarding House and Black Monarch Hotel in Victor, Colorado. The Black Monarch is a goth hotel dream-come-true, frequented by Nikola Tesla back in his day, and The Best Little Boarding House is a converted brothel that is probably the most haunted place in the city (Just try staying asleep through the night!)," says Ryan Policky.  

Over the years, A Shoreline Dream has churned out numerous acclaimed releases, working with legends such as Ulrich Schnauss, Mark Kramer and The Engineers (for whom they created a remix for progressive label gods K-Scope). They also opened for Chapterhouse for their very final appearance. 'Loveblind' reaches for that same energy, taking cues from previous A Shoreline Dream works released over the past 16 years, drawing more from their progressive goth roots. Layers of moodiness, blissfulexplosions of rock and chugging tempo mix with the pain, love, hope and moments of neardeath experienced while creating the album itself.

The alternative, indie rocker trio from Toronto called ON released their self-titled album on September 16, 2022 via Indiestructible Records. Guitarist, Steve Fall, says is "a document of friendship navigating explores in pain, and hope. Looking at the world with a collaborative effort to document what we see, witness and feel through songwriting and chemistry as a band."

ON creates sonic guitar-based landscapes and is centered around the undeniable chemistry of its core members:  Lucy Di Santo (vocals, bass),  Dan Cornelius (drums) and Steve Fall (guitars).  They released the single "Under dog," a song about hope, love, angst and dreams...the temptation to get back in the ring once more when the world no longer makes any sense and you have nothing to lose.

Always pushing forward with an eye on the rear-view mirror, ON pays homage to its roots in timeless classics, post-punk, grunge, old-school funk and 90s college rock. Well-crafted songs with an attention to arrangement, groove and performance a la carte, ON's music connects with an audience seeking out impactful and genre-defying music.

London-based trio, Decommissioned Forests is a collaboration between post-progressive multi-instrumentalist  Daniel Vincent (The Resonance Association), industrial electro-punk Max Rael (History Of Guns) and experimental musician, CG artist, and film-maker Howard Gardner  (Non-Bio, Pillars of Golden Misery). Brought together by a shared love of outsider luminaries such as Coil, Current 93, Cluster, Nine Inch Nails, Nurse With Wound and Throbbing Gristle, they have been making music together since 2018.

Their new album, "Industry" is an ambient- infused, post-industrial journey through uneasy electronica, accompanied by a sometimes bleak, sometimes hopeful spoken-word narration. Each member of the band contributes to their unique sound.

Formed in the Wellington, New Zealand suburb of Wainuiomata in late 1981 while in high school, at a time when Māori visibility in New Zealand’s punk, post-punk, and alternative music scene was rare, the young four piece VIETNAM notably featured two members of Ngāti Kahungunu: vocalist Shane Te Kawenata Bradbrook, and bassist/songwriter Adrian Workman; alongside co-founder/co-writer and guitarist PeteDransfield, and drummer Leon Reedijk. The original four piece immediately disbanded upon the release of the Vietnam EP (Jayrem Records, 1985).

Thirty years later, the eponymous EP was rediscovered by bloggers, YouTubers, and record collectors in the US and Europe, becoming widely hailed as a “lost classic” of New Zealand music. 

In late 2016, Spanish label BFE Records reissued Vietnam as a full-length LP, with the addition of bonus archival live and demo tracks. 

To celebrate, the original bandmates reunited for the first time since 1985 in Wellington, NZ, to play what was intended as one last show in February of 2017. A roaring success, the reunion show encouraged the band to stay together long enough to create the new album called "This Quiet Room."
