  • Fabrica is The Submerged’s EP Out Now

    Good Day Noir Family,
    The title Fabrica suggests construction, machinery, movement. Yet what The Submerged build here is not cold or mechanical.

    Fabrica is The Submerged’s EP Out Now

    It’s urgent, instinctive, and fiercely alive. Even before the EP settles into its rhythm, you sense a band that thinks ahead of the curve while keeping feet in the raw soil of alternative rock.

    “May Girl” opens the record with a direct punch. The sound is immediate and unfiltered. The tempo runs fast, and the energy leans toward a futuristic strain of alternative rock. There’s also something avant-garde in the way the band shapes the arrangement. The guitars slice through the mix with purpose. The rhythm section refuses to slow down. The track feels like a manifesto rather than just an opener.

    Then comes “Don Quixote,” which pushes the experimentation further. The Submerged show no hesitation in bending structure and tone. The garage-rooted aesthetic remains, yet the band stretches it into something hypnotic and unpredictable. The shifts in dynamics keep the listener alert. Just when you think the groove has settled, it pivots. That sense of risk gives the track its identity.

    “Sleeping Planet” introduces a subtle funky pulse. Still, the genre becomes harder to define. Some flashes recall Primus in the elastic bass movement and twisted rhythmic phrasing. The Submerged never sound derivative. Their vision stays forward-looking. The instinct behind the composition stands out most of all. You can hear a band trusting its gut rather than chasing trends.

    The title track, “Fabrica,” raises the intensity again. The guitars turn heavier and more aggressive. There are faint grunge echoes. In addition, the riffs carry weight without dragging the pace. The band controls the chaos carefully. The chorus hits hard, then pulls back just enough to breathe.

    “Halley’s Comet Night” closes the EP with a nearly hypnotic mood. The central guitar riff locks into your mind. It stimulates images that border on dreamlike. At the same time, the rhythm maintains tension beneath the surface. The track does not explode. Instead, it simmers and expands.

    Fabrica reveals The Submerged as a fearless act with a clear identity. They experiment boldly. They embrace instinct. And above all, they sound like a band building its own future.

  • Times New Viking Reunite For First Show In A Decade

    In December, Times New Viking announced their first show in a decade, slated for next week with Snooper, the Spits, the Serfs, and Prison Affair at New York’s Knockdown Center.

Watch footage of Times New Viking’s set below.

  • When We Were Young Fest to Skip This Year, Hopefully to Return in 2027

    When-We-Were-Young-logo

    This sucks, but it sounds like it’s only temporarily. We’re at the time of year when all the summer festivals start announcing their lineups steadily, but one fast-rising phoenix has been quite silent—When We Were Young. The newest to the game, having hosted their debut festival in 2022, has announced they’re taking this year off. But, there’s hope for us yet, because they’ll be coming back next year…so they say.

    Festival runners posted the announcement on social media yesterday, February 27, saying the following:

    “To Our When We Were Young Family

    “The songs, the memories, the moments – none of it exists without you. After an unforgettable run in Las Vegas, we’ve decided to take 2026 off to give this festival the care it deserves and to make sure what comes next feels just as special as what came before.

    “When We Were Young Festival will return to Las Vegas in October 2027.

    “Thank you for showing up with your whole hearts every year. This isn’t goodbye – it’s just a phase.

    “We’ll see you in 2027.”

    I’m about to sound like what I imagine most of our parents sounded like back in the day… this BETTER BE just a phase. We need all the warm fuzzies nostalgia has to offer right now, so please don’t take any away from us.

  • Listening Now : Deadcrow x CASTER – Euphoria

    Deadcrow and CASTER team up for Euphoria, a NIGHTMODE release that fuses atmospheric vocals and shimmering synth builds with bone-rattling bass drops. The track moves fluidly between cinematic uplift and explosive low-end impact, balancing emotional intensity with festival-ready aggression. Deadcrow’s wave-leaning textures intertwine seamlessly with CASTER’s sharp, high-voltage production, creating a dynamic tension between beauty and brute force. The result is immersive yet hard-hitting—an adrenaline-charged anthem that surges with melodic light before plunging into controlled chaos, fully embodying its euphoric promise.
