The Response releases singles from upcoming album

The Response has been tearing up bathrooms and stages across the region for a while now and you can finally have a little bit of that stank at home. Taking a break from their Partners and Pals podcast, Donnie Vagrant and Sean Magnum brought Trey Meilhaus (Reagan Youth, Jim Härralson) and Allen (Plague IX) into the Church of Wax studio a few months back and recorded with Cadillac Young. The full release is still in the works, but you can now check out We Them Boys and We’re The Response on Bandcamp. While the band had previously released the Randy’s Response Demo, that release was mainly muddled live recordings and this new one will give you a clear, loud, sharp kick in the business. Keep an eye out on Louisville’s Punk Rock Night and an eye on Air Devil’s Inn for upcoming shows.

C.L.S.M. releases new Infinity Shit LP

C.L.S.M. - Infinity Shit record

Looking for a somewhat D-Beat blast from the past? Miss those ‘Maximum Louisville’ days with Coliseum ripping through songs at high speed? I wouldn’t call it nostalgia but the ghost of Coliseum has arisen as C.L.S.M., releasing a (mostly) unexpected new record, though not under their full traditional name. While Coliseum called it quits around 2015, Ryan Patterson and crew (Kayhan Vaziri & Carter Wilson) have kicked out a high-powered and limited-edition 10-song LP in conjunction with Equal Vision Records. The release started out with two limited colors that sold out quick, and a new smoke variant is out now, likely with more on the way.

Check out Hammer Through The Windshield below for a preview. The release is also exclusively available for streaming on Bandcamp for now.

Guilt – Bardstown Ugly Box reissue and Reunion show

Guilt’s reunion show at Headliner’s (tickets here) is coming up soon on May 13th with Shitfire (fresh off their record release show for Shit Genes) and Jupiter Hearts (featuring Rob Pennington). While those of us in Louisville get the show, everyone also gets a remastered version of 1995s Bardstown Ugly Box. The new release will also come with two bonus tracks. Pre-orders look to be sold out but will hopefully be available again in the near future. As a preview for the remaster, Guilt and Mind Over Matter records have released a video with footage from the 90s and the new audio. Check it out below as well as a new article from No Echo:
