New Music Recommendations

At the end of July, Bay Area Screamo legends State Faults released their new record Children of the Moon, and god damn it’s good. The record clocks in at a surprising 1 hour and 2 minutes, which feels unnecessary for this genre, but it gives the listener so much material to enjoy. FFO: Jeromes Dream, Portrayal of Guilt, Frail Body, Birds in a Row, Touché Amoré.
