Calling all Scums,
 

We're back to cast a shadow over summer with two new tracks of cold, atmospheric post-punk—equal parts darkwave, deathrock, and punk urgency.
 

Brand New:
 

NFTR367 FALSE FLOWERS 'SECRET FUTURES' 7"
Sacramento's False Flowers return with their second release in under a year. This new 2-track single features the haunting new original "Secret Futures" alongside a darkly reimagined take on the Adam and the Ants classic "Beat My Guest", these tracks offer another glimpse into a band whose sound is constantly evolving while remaining unmistakably their own.

​

Drawing from post-punk, deathrock, darkwave and classic goth, False Flowers deliver tense, atmospheric songs propelled by urgent punk energy. Their ability to shift between brooding melodies, driving rhythms and razor-sharp intensity has quickly become a defining characteristic.
Following their acclaimed self-titled 12", the Sacramento quartet continues to explore themes of isolation, unease and cinematic darkness and False Flowers carve out their own space by balancing stark atmosphere with the raw momentum of punk.
With "Secret Futures" and "Beat My Guest," they continue to push forward, delivering another compelling chapter from one of California's most exciting emerging post-punk bands.

Still hot:
 
NFTR358 THE RIFFS 'YOU DOIN' ALRIGHT' 7"
Emerging from the grime of Portland's early-2000s underground, The Riffs built their reputation on anarchic rock 'n' roll that’s straightforward, catchy, captivating and raw as fuck. Their debut album Underground Kicks has long been hailed as a modern punk classic, a 21st century answer to 'Never Mind the Bollocks', cementing the band as cult heroes on both sides of the Atlantic.

Drawing heavily from the fury and swagger of late '70s British punk, The Riffs fused the sneer of the Sex Pistols, the chaos of the Dead Boys, the attitude of Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and the melodic punch of The Boys into something unmistakably their own — street-level punk rock born out of the Pacific Northwest.
 
Now, after years away, The Riffs return with a brand new single. Three songs (2 originals and a Professionals cover) that sound like they never left and delivered with the same reckless urgency that made them legendary in the first place. In the band’s own words:
 
"Since FYWROK and Alex Hagen convinced us to do one last show, a dozen shows ago, we have been overwhelmed by the support and dedication to The Riffs still out there. We would never take that for granted so we thought long and hard about releasing anything new. We think these songs not only live up to our original records, they are some of our best. This single is for all the kamikazes. A tribute to those who have passed and a celebration of those who are still around. For all of us who can’t escape the music or the streets that shaped our lives."
 
The Riffs never belonged to nostalgia. They belong to the streets and to the kids who still believe punk rock should feel dangerous and now they’re back to remind everyone. GET IT HERE.
