Tigers Jaw - “Hum”
Well it looks like the Scranton, PA punks aren’t ready to hang things up. In March, Tigers Jaw announced that 3 of it’s members were leaving and that the upcoming US shows would likely be the last ones “for the foreseeable future”. Last week the band released a new song, “Hum”. The tune is the first off their new upcoming album. The album will be out sometime in January via Run For Cover Records, so for now this is all we get.
“Hum” will be released on 7" alongside an acoustic version of “Cool” on November 19. Pre-order yours heretoday!

I’m currently in the process of fixing up past acoustic sessions and sharing them! Every Thursday I’ll be posting a session and I’m hoping to film a few new ones in the very near future. It’s been awhile since I last filmed one of these and it’s something I really want to get back into.
For now I’ll leave you with this session I shot with Koji back in Summer of 2013 at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA. Still visually one of my favorite sessions I’ve had the chance to set up / put together.
Got a minute or two? Okay, because that’s all the time Tony Molina needs from you to shred pop, rock and punk into another instant hit of warm weather dopamine. The Bay Area hardcore scene stalwart is back with a new album IN THE FADE, due in August, and his first album (and first release in general!) for the Run for Cover Records’ west coast boutique label Summer Shade ran by Fury guitarist and general SoCal hardcore scene maker Madison Woodward. “The Last Time” is its first jam, and it clocks in at just under 90 seconds. Molina dials down the fuzz here in favor of a ground level Detroit Rock City electricity with breakup melancholia clenched coolly in his tune. “I’m leaving you girl for the last time / Don’t expect you to understand / ‘Cause when I tell her that I need her / Will she still judge me for who I am,” he sings, and that’s literally all he sings. No need to overstay your welcome, and Molina knows it. Listen to “The Last Time” for the first time below…
Tony Molina’s IN THE FADE will be released August 12th on Run for Cover Records / Summer Shade.
“The natural part in your hair before you comb / Eye socket into eye socket bone on bone / Exclusively tentacle porn,” sings vocalist and guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos in the opening moments of “The Natural Part”. As the pseudo title track off Horse Jumper of Love’s new album Natural Part, the listen sonically flows in the same way his lyrical visual hangs off his tongue if that makes any sense at all. Guitar lines drip and curl downward, and gravity has an effortless pull on the way the Bostonian slowcore trio apply pace and rhythm to such an ordinary moment made into widescreen intimacy. Clarity in the mix captured by Danny Reisch, most recently of labelmates Sun June’s latest effort Somewhere, brings bolder detail to life in Horse Jumper of Love’s sound, making something so mundane as the drop of a strand of follicles feel devastatingly poetic in their romantic downfall. “You cut the split ends off my hair / And threw them out in a plastic bag.” Hair today, love’s gone tomorrow.
Horse Jumper of Love’s Natural Part will be released June 17th on Run for Cover Records.
