On the punk side of things, The Response has released their debut 5-song EP Ran Thru By The Response. They’ve dropped some previous recordings and singles on their Bandcamp, but this is the first body of work.

Somewhat hot on the heals of their surprise new CLSM release entitled Infinity Shit, Coliseum has announced that they’ll be playing a show on April 20th, 2024 at Planet of the Tapes. This will be the band’s first show in 8 years but will also celebrate their 20 year anniversary (y’all old). Tickets are selling quickly, so grab one asap at https://shirtkiller.com/collections/coliseum
Per Ryan from Instagram:
Carter, Kayhan, and I are happy to announce that Coliseum will be playing on Saturday, April 20, 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky at Planet Of The Tapes. This is our first time performing live together in over eight years. We will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first Coliseum show and playing songs spanning our entire history.
As has always been our way, this is a DIY event put together by friends and our music community. Ticketing is being handled by me directly via my site Shirt Killer in order to circumvent the fees normally associated with standard event ticketing. Capacity is very limited. Additional bands TBA.
Thanks to all the Black Magic Punks out there who supported us over the years. We can’t wait to play these songs again.
Gates To Hell is warming up the winter with an impending new music video release. If you’ve ever wanted to see a dead (or un-dead?) Dave from xWeaponx, the preview looks like this may give you your chance without jailtime. The full video should be released on January 10th just before Gate’s first show of the year at Magbar. The show will be with Age of Panic, 1 Body 6 Graves and Redivider, be all ages, and be a warmup for their upcoming tour supporting Machine Head and Fear Factory.

PLAGUE IX also has some new stuff up on Bandcamp to check out ahead of their new full length:
“Let’s kick off 2024 the right way…with music! We took a break from working on our new album to record, or rather re-record/reinterpret The Hip Displacements classic “Graveyard Rave” from “BASTARD HEAD VS THE WORLD” as a Plague IX song. We’ve got a big year planned. Let’s get started…”

Mind Over Matter records has prepared a new pressing of their Bardstown Ugly Box reissue from Guilt. The new pressing should be available later in January and comes in a few new color combos, and there’s bundle options to get the record with a copy of Angryblue’s poster print from the 2023 reunion show (pics at the link). Each 12″ reissue comes with a companion 7″ with additional tracks.
