Releases

It’s been in the works for a while, but we are excited to announce that we are releasing both Hawkboy EPs, S/T and King Folly, on vinyl together. Hawkboy was formed sometime in the year 2009 by Cody Bonnette and Aaron Lunsford. After their band As Cities Burn called it quits, they began writing songs together in Nashville. This was followed by a series of unfortunate events that caused them to go underground until last year, when they surfaced, released two EPs, and toured around the country.

Side A will feature S/T with the bonus track Irate Blues and Side B will feature King Folly. Front side of the jacket will have the S/T artwork and the back side will have the King Folly art. This is a limited pressing of 300 copies over two colors, Solid Green and Clear Gold w/ Black Swirl.

Preorders will launch in early February and the LP will drop in early March. Stay tuned for more details on ordering information. In the mean time you can download S/T for free and stream all of King Folly.

We’ve once again teamed up with our friends at Animal Style to bring you a new split 7″ from Half Hearted Hero and Deadhorse out December 6.

A perfect mishmash of conflicting styles and celebrating a time when splits brought you more interesting combinations. Some may scratch their heads over the pairing but put together they offer the perfect juxtaposition for the split format.

Pre-orders and other information will be available soon but in the mean time head over to Absolute Punk and check out Half Hearted Hero’s new song “For The Firing Squad” featuring guest vocals from Nuno Pereira of A Wilhelm Scream. A stream for the new Deadhorse track “New Bones” will be up next week.
