Our trials and tribulations toughen us up and, ultimately, inform who we become. Emery proudly wear the wisdom from those scars in their songs. The Seattle band—Toby Morrell [vocals, guitar], Devin Shelton [vocals, bass], Josh Head [vocals, keys, synths], Matt Carter [guitar], Dave Powell [drums], Chris Keene [guitar] —teeter on an axis of unpredictably heavy soundscapes, off-kilter grooves, searing melodies, and fits of harmony. Now, the group open up and bleed like never before on their eighth full-length offering, Rub Some Dirt On It [Tooth & Nail]. “The album is based on personal and difficult real-life situations,” reveals Devin. “We wanted to focus on moments that were hard to navigate, but ultimately character-building experiences in our lives. When we would fall, scrape our knees, or get some other fairly insignificant injury, our dads would always say, ‘Rub some dirt on it’. In other words, you’re tougher than you think. Instead of crying or dwelling on it, get up and keep going. Don’t let the pain define you. Instead, learn from it and become better.”

From their inception in 2002, As Cities Burn made waves far beyond their hometown of Mandeville, Louisiana. The heavy screams of TJ Bonnette paired with the clean vocals of brother Cody Bonnette, showcased on 2005 debut album Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, earned the band widespread acclaim. Even as the band shifted through lineup changes, eventually losing the screams when TJ left, As Cities Burn continued to garner support through two more albums—until the band decidedly went their separate ways in 2009. Although they came together for several shows since their split, a future return was never certain.

Seattle band The Classic Crime has delivered songs with infectious melodies and powerful lyrics since forming in 2004. Starting with 4 releases on Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records between 2006-2010, and continuing on independently since 2012’s self-funded “Phoenix”, 2014’s retrospective “What Was Done: Volume 1”, 2017’s “How to Be Human” and 2020’s “Patterns in the Static”. The band enters 2023 with a new album, “GRIM AGE,” which is a nuanced stream-of-consciousness expression of the feeling of “Right Now”. Written during COVID lockdowns, the songs on “GRIM AGE” explore the emotions of being trapped in both physical and virtual spaces, as well as the implications of death. “GRIM AGE” is a sonic pilgrimage through desperation, consolation, and ultimately acceptance.

A sense of urgency drives Silversun Pickups. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated L.A. quartet create & perform with eloquence & intensity all at once. Guitars may restlessly roar and rumble, only to be reined in by the spell of a saccharine melody or a honeyed hook. This push-and-pull has catapulted the group—Brian Aubert [vocals, guitar], Nikki Monninger [bass, vocals], Chris Guanlao [drums], & Joe Lester [keys]—out of a crowded and competitive local scene & into the wide open space of some of the world’s biggest stages. Their full-length debut, Carnavas [2006], went Gold & spawned the Platinum staple “Lazy Eye.” On its heels, they logged two back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 with Swoon [2009]—featuring the Gold-certified “Panic Switch”—and Neck of the Woods [2012]. Coursing through culture, they have landed dozens of film & TV placements, ranging from the cult classic Jennifer’s Body to NETFLIX’s The Lincoln Lawyer. They’ve held their own on tours with the likes of Foo Fighters & Muse, sold out successive headline jaunts, & performed on late-night TV shows such as Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Beyond praise from NPR, Consequence, and more, Pitchfork hailed 2022’s Physical Thrills as “their most varied and carefree songs in over a decade.” Now, SSPU meet the moment with their seventh full-length LP, Tenterhooks. It’s an anxious, emotionally charged, and unapologetic collection of ten tracks appropriate for the times, yet as timeless as anything they’ve done.

NEW ALBUM FEBRUARY 6

The Expendables have proven anything but in their nearly 25-year career since starting out as a spirited party band in high school performing surf-rock covers for birthdays and family gatherings. A quarter-century later, elementary school buddies Raul Bianchi, Adam Peterson and Geoff Weers, along with bassist Ryan DeMars, who joined in 2000, have forged a unique sound born in the laid-back beach life in their hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. The Expendables’ infectious hybrid of ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae and metal can be heard in their latest streaming track, “Surfman Cometh,” a spaghetti-western meets “Pipeline” twang that could easily form the soundtrack to the latest Quentin Tarantino film. The song is the first release from the group’s new and improved Band Room, their longtime rehearsal space in a 1,100 square foot warehouse and former wine cellar on Coral Street, where Adam Patterson took charge of the final mix to great effect. The band’s previous studio album of original material, 2015’s Sand in the Sky, was followed by The Expendables’ second release featuring acoustic reworkings of past material, Gone Raw, 2019’s follow-up to 2012’s Gone Soft. The Expendables continue woodshedding until they can get back out on the road.
