Rarity – Lower Feeling
Rarity will release third album Lower Feeling on June 7 through New Damage Records.
Vocalist Loedon Learn said: “This record at the end of the day is about growth. Growth as human beings, growth as friends, growth as four musicians trying to make the best songs they possibly can in a band they love. This record is a record of love, a record of passion and a record of brutal honesty. The lyrics are personal and introspective, with themes that I absolutely hated talking about with every fibre of my being. My worst fears and greatest dreams. This record is about losing self control, not being able to hold your brain together in times of sadness and pain, and taking things you have no control over way too seriously.
“While the lyrics may convey feelings of sadness and anger, the record itself couldn’t be further from. We loved writing this record, and we miss waking up every day being able to make this record. It is everything Rarity as a band have always wanted to be, and we’re just so happy to be here. We’re happy we’re able to make music and live this crazy emotional rollercoaster of a life that we live. We wouldn’t have it any other way. We truly sincerely hope people enjoy Lower Feeling as much as we enjoyed making it, because we really truly loved every second of it.”

1. Keep it to Yourself
2. OKAY
3. Brain Dance
4. who gives a fuck?

9. Shit Eater

Twin Atlantic will release new album Meltdown on August 9 through Staple Diet Records!
Sam McTrusty said: “Over the last 18 months we have been relentlessly obsessing over the making of a new album. We built two studios to have our own freedom and space to dig deeper into the essence of our band.”
“That freedom evolved into engineering and producing the album ourselves. Zero outside influences. What we’ve got in the end is something we are so proud of and feels like our best work yet. The time felt right to revisit our roots and dive back into the big chorus’s and massive guitars that shaped our band’s early years, but obviously having lived life and toured the world since then we found an evolution of that sound.”
Tracklist:
1. Asleep
2. Stuck In A Car With You
4. World Class Entertainment
5. Sorry
6. Harder
7. Get Out

The Early November – The Early November
The Early November will release their new self-titled album on June 14 through Pure Noise Records.
Ace Enders said: “The initial spark of this record was frustration.
“Although we are growing in many ways and it’s a beautiful thing to be able to do what we do, it was born out of feeling like you’re doing the same thing over and over again, and out of this ‘I don’t care’ mentality. Not ‘I don’t care about the world’, but really digging deep artistically and having the view that if this is it, then I want The Early November to finally have the album that’s good enough to be the self-titled album.”
“There have been so many highs and lows throughout the career of this band,” adds Jeff Kummer, “but it got very dark. And a lot of this record is coming out of that, but we’re still here with a collection of brand new songs and it feels right. I feel more connected to where Ace’s mind is with this record than I ever have before.”
Tracklist:
1. The Empress
2. The Magician
3. About Me
4. What We Earn
5. We Hang On
6. The Fool
