Presenting their new album "No Joy"
Since forming in LA in 2013, Spanish Love Songs’ cult following has quietly snowballed, thanks to a series of critically acclaimed albums steeped in unflinching lyricism and thematic depth. Frontman Dylan Slocum's songwriting deftly balances between existential dread and cultural critique, a tightrope act that has resonated deeply with fans across the world. The band's latest album, "No Joy," released through Pure Noise Records, expands their emotional palette beyond the familiar ramen-stained sweater of melancholy, offering what Slocum calls their "most joyous collection of material" yet. While fans might have expected more of the band's signature angst, especially in the wake of a pandemic, "No Joy" pivots toward a new maturity and introspection. Produced by Collin Pastore and mixed by Carlos de la Garza, the album finds Spanish Love Songs grappling with a complex modern age—its challenges, its heartaches, but also its small moments of peace. According to Slocum, the album is about "finding happiness in your current moment," a message as vital as it is timely.

Heart Attack Man emerged from the depths of Hell and took up residence in Cleveland, Ohio in late 2013. After a small handful of formative years spent in regional incubation, the band broke out on the national touring circuit following the release of their Triple Crown Records debut album The Manson Family. Ever since then, the band has continued on a steady incline of touring and signature internet trolling; releasing their critically acclaimed sophomore album Fake Blood and their most recent EP Thoughtz & Prayerz. Characterized by catchy upbeat instrumentation with dark lyrics, the band has developed a cult following; rife with inside jokes, memes, and energetic live shows; unlike anything else in their corner of the scene. Heart Attack Man marches on; corrupting and indoctrinating all who get caught in the crossfire of their chaotic ways.

Forming out of the flourishing DIY punkrock scene in Münster, Germany, Shoreline have been touring all over mainland Europe and the UK since 2016.
With a fast paced to mid- tempo punk sound for fans of Gnarwolves, The Flatliners or The Menzingers, the band has since logged countless hours on highways between London and Prague, playing everywhere from clubs, to festivals and dive bars.
With great joy we announce our new record TO FIGURE OUT, which will be out February 23rd 2024 on Pure Noise Records.
Pre-Orders are available now through the label store
I know bands tend to overdo it with superlatives when it comes to announcing stuff, but hear us out. We’re all (or feel haha) still pretty young as people and as a band – the fact that we made it to album no 3 blows our mind. More so, we are eternally grateful for every single one of you who supports our band, buys stuff, comes out to shows. So THANK YOU for ordering the record, telling your friends and spreading the word, we truly appreciate it!
REVIVER is an honest statement speaking about the tension between hope and hopelessness in the context of the climate crisis. The initial inspiration was sparked by graffiti in the streets of Berlin saying: “Resignation is a privilege of those less affected”.
Singer Hansol Seung comments on the song: “REVIVER is a letter to a beloved person, who is not resigning and a constant reminder not to be too pessimistic. I think it is very easy to be overwhelmed by what is going on in the world right now. If I had to break the whole song down to one sentence it would be the pre chorus: „If this is really the end, I want it with our fists out.”
