Formed in 2022 and originally released on Armageddon Records, the demo is an explosive release, full of melody and emotion. Painful Choice embraces the sound of DC’s Revolution Summer era bands, Rites of Spring and Gray Matter—while naturally melding their hometown influences from the likes of Car vs. Driver and Abuse of Power.

In fact, the singular group is almost defined by how far they stand apart from the pack. So if saying Angel Du$t aren’t like anyone else is a no-brainer, then what are they like? Are they cutting edge genre-destroyers or one of the last authentic guitar bands standing? Are they blunt force aggression incarnate or earnest experimentalists? Are they the hardcore version of an indie band or is it the other way around? You might ask yourself these kinds of questions while taking in the totality of Angel Dust’s decade-plus journey–but the band’s new album, Cold 2 The Touch, suggests that maybe it’s not so complicated after all. Or as vocalist\/mastermind Justice Tripp puts it: ”Angel Du$t is rock \u0026amp; roll.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCold 2 The Touch captures this simple fact better than ever before. The 26-minute blast of eclectic and hardhitting music makes it clear that Angel Du$t can’t be contained within the confines of narrow subgenres, and that a term as elemental as rock \u0026amp; roll might actually fit like a glove. This is the band’s most overtly ferocious album in some time–a blender of hard riffs and big hooks that are matched by Tripp’s open-hearted existentialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA constellation of collaborators makes Cold 2 The Touch a captivating listen that’s constantly surprising the listener: guitarist Jim Caroll makes his presence especially felt on “Zero,” a veritable Angel Du$t epic that clocks in at over three minutes of spiraling riffs and features vocals from Wes Eisold of American Nightmare and Cold Cave; “Downfall” has the growl of Restraining Order’s Patrick Cozens; “Man On Fire” taps UK punk legend Frank Carter; and “The Beat” includes guttural guest vitriol from Taylor Young of Twitching Tongues, Deadbody, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe album’s final one-two punch of “The Knife” and “The Beat” sum up exactly what makes Angel Du$t such a special band. This is a creative endeavor where heart-on-sleeve musings about the finite nature of life can coexist with the unbridled thrill of violence-enducing riffs, where real humanity can flourish and being true to yourself and your own spectrum of thoughts, interests, and feelings takes primacy above all else. “This is who I am,” says Tripp. “and I speak for the band too: these are people who are always going to be playing aggressive rock \u0026amp; roll. It’s happening whether you like it or not. I’m me, and if you get in my way I’m gonna crush you.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Run For Cover Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55855802024322,"sku":"RFC-290-CS","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/ADcassette.png?v=1761120449"},{"product_id":"basement-wired-cs","title":"Basement 'WIRED' CS","description":"\u003cp\u003e🚛 - In Stock \u0026amp; Shipping\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWIRED is a hard reset for Basement. It marks the British band’s first album in eight years, a reunion with their original label Run For Cover Records, and a return to making music with the unbridled passion and creative intuition that's always animated their best material. Since forming in 2009, Basement have always been the same five friends -- vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher -- with the same alchemic bond. The only thing that's changed in recent years is their renewed sense of purpose, and their new album makes that loudly apparent. Wired is the most dynamic, daring, and inspired Basement have ever sounded, while also retaining the timeless fundamentals of the band’s singular sound: growling guitars, rousing choruses, striking emotional verbiage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBasement are back firing on all cylinders, but they're not interested in rehashing old glories. The whole band was adamant that Wired had to be their most decisive artistic statement yet. Title-track “WIRED” is the most urgent they’ve ever sounded, a surefire live staple propelled by needling guitars, a slugging drumbeat, and a skyscraping hook that finds Fisher’s voice in peak form. “Broken By Design” has the opposite temperament: dusky, delicate, bass-led, but still quintessentially Basement in its immediate catchiness and moody character. Nothing on Wired sounds stagnant. Not one part feels undercooked. The band looked to a smorgasbord of adventurous heroes for inspiration (REM, Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, to name a few) without ever sounding like they’re imitating any one band -- not even themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe record’s title condenses all of this into a single word. The textural connotations of Wired -- metallic, sharp, jagged -- evoke the album’s steely sonics, and on a more conceptual level, the title speaks to Basement’s unshakeable tenacity. An analog band who’ve thrived in an increasingly digital world without resting on the comforts of nostalgia. Five friends who’ve persisted through several breakups and breakthroughs, but have only grown as people and evolved as a musical unit. At this point, Basement have to accept their fate: they're wired for this shit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTracklist\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
