1. Plastic

New 10 song LP recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios. Artwork by Ron Henry Wells and J.Bannon. 
This is a pre-order, records will ship around December 20, 2017.
In an evolutionary leap that would make Darwin proud, “New Magnetic” realizes the potential of the first Holy Hands 7". 
All four members have roots firmly planted in hardcore punk and its fringes. 
The band is comprised of both past and present members of Sweet Jesus, Fiddlehead, Raindance, Fault, Supermachiner, and Daltonic. 
Their new LP, “New Magnetic”, is a 2017 observation. It perfectly captures the energy and spirit of the time these gentlemen clearly came up in. Though decades have passed, Holy Hands feels less like it was influenced by bands like Seaweed, Farside, and Jawbox; and more like one of their contemporaries. I don't know if "Post-Hardcore" is still a relevant genre description, but it fits. 
One thing for sure: “New Magnetic" and its’ themes of peace, love and justice are certainly relevant in the here and now.

Discouraged Ones

Providence, Rhode Island’s WAY OUT have been making a name for themselves as one of the hook-laden and refreshing sounding acts in the post-punk genre since 2012.  Consisting of singer and guitarist Derek Knox, drummer Anna Wingfield, and bassist Nick Sadler, Way Out’s sound leans heavy on a driving rhythm section interlaced with melodic guitar hooks reminiscent of post-punk greats Wire, Wipers, and early-Cure.  Founded by Knox in 2012, the band became an entity unto itself following the arrival of Wingfield, and shortly thereafter Sadler, whose other musical projects (Daughters and Fang Island) had entered a state of indefinite hiatus, leaving him hungry for a new creative outlet.  In 2015, Way Out self-released a 4 song self-titled cassette/digital ep followed by a brief northeastern tour of the United States.  Way Out is releasing an LP, Arc of Descent, with Atomic Action in August of 2018.
