The roster of Facedown records is really very varied covering different styles of modern heavy
hardcore, metal and alternative rock music.
They just annouced their latest signing being Raleigh, NC based ATTALUS who have teamed up with the label to release a 16-song concept album entitled "Into the Sea”.
Working with Mike Watts (As Cities Burn, As Tall As Lions) at Vudu Studio in Port Jefferson, NY, the band has been able to make this their most musically dynamic album to date.
The combo has been often compared to bands such as La Dispute, Thrice and Brand New.
Myrtle Beach, SC's HUNDREDTH has officially announced their brand new, upcoming album "FREE", which will be
released June 16th, 2015 via Hopeless Records!
"Our goal with FREE was to combine all of the elements of Hundredth into one release without hindering progression,” states vocalist, Chad Johnson. “The outcome is by far our best release. We ventured out vocally, which truly elevated the sound of this record. These are some of the best songs we've ever written and this record is sonically superior to anything we've ever done.”
This week the band also debuts the official music video for “Unravel”, which can be seen here: smarturl.it/unravelvideo
Berkeley, CA based independent label Pure Noise Records is excited to announce the signing of Canadian melodic-hardcore band COUNTERPARTS and plans to release their fourth studio album in the U.S. later this year. The band joins the company’s family of bands that includes The Story So Far, State Champs, Four Year Strong, Senses Fail, Hit The Lights and more. Additionally, Counterparts has also signed with New Damage, who will be releasing their next record in Canada.
“We're happy to finally be able to announce that we've signed to Pure Noise/New Damage,” says vocalist Brendan Murphy. “In my opinion, these are two of the best current record labels in their respective territories. The decision to sign with PN/ND was an obvious one. Thank you to those who stuck by us, and anyone who actually cares about anything we do. It means more than you know."
