bloodsports
Taking over the sweaty New York venues and curbside congregations that came to be synonymous with the name, bloodsports is set to release their long awaited debut LP ‘Anything Can Be A Hammer’ via brand new New York label Good English Records on October 17th. Bloodsports has become an undeniable force amidst their latest line up, where members Sam Murphy (guitar/vox), Jeremy Mock (Guitar), Liv Eriksen (bass/vox) and Scott Hale (drums) find solace in the capitulation of sonic strain; where angular sedition blends with economical melodies that lighten the load of the self-destruction that these songs embrace. But as bold as their landscapes have been prior, ‘Anything Can Be A Hammer’ finds the band embracing a more dynamic approach, maturing in their techniques as these songs brim over with subtle fixations – balancing a steady pace of experimentation and curiosity that linger amongst the rhythmic blows and befuddling depths that the band confidently explores. Fragile, yet abundant, bloodsports leans into that patience that plays to our own interior designs, where Murphy’s lyricism is a notion of both what we know and what we think we know, as it all comes to the fore when our obsessions are at large. It’s an album that’s got blood in its veins and a finger on the pulse.

Girljockey
Girljockey’s debut album was written in a town that doesn’t exist anymore, it is about a time that you can never return to, and is recorded on a silver slingerland that was reduced to a pile of ashes in a driveway in early January. Written from the time she was nineteen to twenty one years old, Gillian Chamberlin’s debut album is a transmission from the mind of a girl who wants to know what exactly it feels like to pull the trigger, bite the hand, and smell the smoke. The common thread? Want. Every human impulse and crevice of shame is explored through the personas of Chamberlin’s creation.

Have A Nice Life with Rhododendron and Bosse-de-Nage

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:29:28 +0000

Have A Nice Life formed in the early aughts when its two primary members, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga, were studying at the University of Massachusetts. With the aim of crafting “oddly aggressive acoustic songs,” the duo spent five years constructing their debut LP Deathconsciousness, a 2008 release that rippled across the post-punk landscape. Now hailed for its anguished subject matter and unwaveringly lo-fi production, Deathconsciousness is considered an experimental cornerstone.
