All Get Out will release new record Kodak on June 3 through Rude Records/Equal Vision Records.

“We wanted to make a record where I got my voice, as the writer, heard first – and then we tacked on everything else,” frontman Nathan Hussey says. “It’s means this is more of a songwritery record, and that’s on purpose.” It’s a method that suits the introspective nature of the record perfectly.

“A lot of the record came out to be about growing up in small towns that don’t move,” explains Hussey. “There are these little American towns that just haven’t evolved, and that’s on purpose — the way Bubba still has a Confederate flag on his pickup truck, or how friends and members of my family have perpetuated the small town thing of having kids at 18 and doing drugs. It’s just this cycle that keeps happening.”

Tracklist:

1. Clinical Trial
2. Feeling Well
3. DFR
4. State Of Abuses
5. Soma
6. Walk Me Through It
7. AA Almanac

Moodring – Stargazer

Moodring will release new album Stargazer on June 10 through UNFD!

“We were excited to explore deeper themes and different aspects of our band throughout the full length,” shares vocalist Hunter Young, who co-produced Stargazer at his home studio, The Swamp Sound, alongside collaborator Austin Coupe.

“The album dives into our pool of influences unabashedly but resurfaces as its own entity. Each song was written with personal meaning and multiple themes, whilst remaining ambiguous and open enough for listeners to relate in their own way.”
