ONE STEP CLOSER (US) + DYNAMITE (UK)

ONE STEP CLOSER (us) OSC has always believed that hardcore is limitless. On All You Embrace, the band puts that theory into practice. Every release from the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania band has seen them exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo, and ‘90s alternative rock without an iota of self-consciousness, or pretension, creeping into the mix. “We know what we want to do with the band,” says vocalist Ryan Savitski. “We’re just naturally writing what feels right to us.” What feels right is All You Embrace, a collection of 11 songs that show One Step Closer reaching for something deeply honest and, as always, authentic. https://onestepcloserxxx.bandcamp.com/

DYNAMITE (uk) Quality Control HQ is well known for having an eye for fresh, new HC and Punk bands. And with this band, it is no different. New London Hardcore band Dynamite have been ripping up stages since last year and after a demo this is their debut on vinyl. The title references the classic Brit film The Italian Job, and the name speaks for itself. Breathing a fresh take on Youth of Today meets mid 2000s Boston hardcore, a difficult genre to pull off these days, their live shows speak for themselves and the energy is off the chain! https://qualitycontrolhq.bandcamp.com/album/blow-the-bloody-doors-off
