VV.AA. ROCK AGAINST TRUMP compilation out through Major Letdown records

It's not really the first Rock Against... and sadly to say surely it isn't gonna be the last.
This 53-track-various-artist-featured compilation titled against the latest, newly elected and highlycontested president of USA is out through Denver based Major Letdown records.
I didn't know basically none of the bands here but Retox, but this big fat comp is really a no-letdown for everybody into music played by heart and DIY.

We have the comp up in streaming now. Go check it out! https://majorletdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/rock-against-trump

Fat Wreck Chords signs THE BOMBPOPS

Read on the lengthy press-release about FAT WRECK's latest addition to their family...

As the saying goes, you have your whole life to write your first record, and only a few years to write your second one. SoCal punk quartet The Bombpops are still caught up in the first part of that saying, though: Formed in 2007 by co-frontwomen Jen Razavi and Poli van Dam, The Bombpops are just now getting their debut full-length, Fear Of Missing Out, out into the world. However, according to Razavi, there are a lot of very valid reasons for the delay.
First off, the intervening decade found The Bombpops endure an absurd amount of lineup changes. “We’ve had three drummers and six bass players,” Razavi says with a sigh. “Each time felt like starting over.” Adding to that was an opportunity to work with No Use For A Name frontman Tony Sly, who expressed interest in producing the band before his sudden death in 2012. “I had one of the best conversations in my life with Tony at Punk Rock Bowling in May, and then he passed away in July,” Razavi laments.

Hardcore punk band LAST LIGHT debuts new song "Conquer and Rise"

Rising hardcore-punk band LAST LIGHT, feat. ex-members of Unity, Uniform Choice, Ignite and
Outspoken, has released an incendiary new punk-rock anthem called "Conquer and Rise".
Conquer and Rise is a song about the fundamental insecurities everybody deals with. Sometimes it's wired into our life experience or sometimes these insecurities surface when we are challenged to perform or function outside our comfort zone. When fight or flight ensues we have the opportunity to advance or retreat. “Conquer and Rise” is the call to fight the questioning of self-worth, and the lack of confidence insecurity creates when we need to obtain or achieve a goal greater than we have before.” - Jae Hansel (vocals).
