The wait is over for Moments, the brand new EP from Post pop-punk band Dear Spring. Featuring recent singles “Empty Frames,” “Newspeak,” and “Every Now And Then,” Moments has captured the attention of Ones To Watch, Chorus.fm, New Noise Magazine, and more with its “aggressive guitars, emotive vocals, and a rhythm section that hits like a freight train” (Under The Radar). The EP is out now via Open Your Ears Records and can be streamed online at https://orcd.co/momentsds. Speaking on the EP the band shares, “The ‘Moments' EP represents an evolution of Dear Spring's sound and thus far, the biggest step forward for the band. Dear Spring's once disparate influences of up-beat Pop Punk, pensive Emo, and emotional Post-Hardcore have found their center with the Washington D.C. quartet's latest 6-song offering. Conceived during a time of self-transformation, "Moments" intimately captures a snapshot in the life of the band. Themes of isolation and loss are explored on the EP's opening track "Wooden Fences.” The album's second track, “Vultures” touches on the band's grungier influences in the vehicle of a siren's song. The EP's lead single, “Every Now And Then”, focuses on self-improvement and the longing for human connection in a time of great disconnection. The EP's second single, "Newspeak", examines self-destructive tendencies and the struggle of expression in an age of extreme polarization. The EP's closer, “Empty Frames” is an introspective accounting of the damage and ongoing struggles of being neurodivergent. With Man Overboard's Nik Bruzzese returning to produce and Fairweather's Ben Green joining to mix the record, ‘Moments' is poised to be Dear Spring's most impactful release yet.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thedarksideofmusic/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thedarksideofmusic/support
Louisville KY alternative rock duo Feral Vices has just released the 5 song EP 'With Offerings.' Recorded in the spring of 2021 with Nik Bruzzese, the EP provides plenty of riffs you can bang your head to and melodies you can sing along with. Created by accident after the crumbling of two different bands, the two friends behind Feral Vices, Alexander Hoagland (guitar, vocals) and Justin Cottner (drums), had a newfound vigor and drive. With the simple goal of making music that the two of them would want to listen to, Feral Vices was allowed the freedom to be whatever they wanted it to be and found its comfortable place in the conversation of other two-piece bands like Royal Blood and Death from Above 1979 while bringing in influences not found in those bands like the Jesus Lizard and Refused. The EP's third single + music video "Covered In Blue" is now streaming here: https://youtu.be/CzxgYPbz2Pk This episode is proudly brought to you by: Betterhelp : https://www.betterhelp.com/sipod for 10% off Mack Weldon: https://www.mackweldon.com/suckit Promo Code "SUCKIT" for 20% off!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Stage Moms over Zoom video! Stage Moms is an aggressive pop-punk band drawing influences from early 2010’s pop punk revival bands such as Crucial Dudes, The Wonder Years, and Four Year Strong. Formed in late 2019 after singer Gage Vota and guitarist’s Grayson Prince previous band Down They Fall decided to call it quits, the band released their first EP “Long Drives and Late Nights.” The Moundsville, West Virginia-based act has honed in on a sound that combines modern-day pop-punk, punk, and hardcore all into one cohesive thought that provides a platform for Gage Vota to deliver his personal yet relatable lyrics that touch on subjects such as depression and failure. In September 2020, Stage Moms headed into The Lumberyard Recording Studio with Nik Bruzzese of Man Overboard and Ace Enders of The Early November, to record their sophomore EP "Almost Heaven...Feels Like Hell", which is out now! We want to hear from you!
