This is officially our tenth anniversary issue and we’re making sure it’s a special one!

New Jersey’s Gel are about to drop a 17- minute master class on hardcore with their new full-length, Only Constant, and Santa Cruz’s Scowl are expanding the scope of hardcore with their upcoming EP, Psychic Dance Routine.

To celebrate the incredible whirlwind of the last couple of years for both of these hard-working bands, we’re putting each on a cover and including a 2-song flexi with live versions of Gel’s “Attainable” and Scowl’s “Opening Night” that capture some of the magic they’re bringing to stages around the world.

Flexi issue 1: Scowl w/ split Scowl/Gel flexi

Flexi issue 2: Gel w/ Scowl/Gel flexi

Start your subscription with a really hard choice between covers, but know you win either way with an exclusive two-song flexi.

If you can’t decide, we’re offering a discounted bundle with both covers as well.

On our non-flexi edition cover we have Samiam, who are releasing their first album in 12 years, Stowaway. The long-distance, bit at a time, piecemeal effort resulted in a stunning return that showcases their enduring classic sound.

Start your subscription off with the option of a limited run cassette version of Stowaway.
