London’s regret punk champions Burnt Tapes are back and they’ve never sounded bigger. Their brand new album New Lungs is out today, delivering 10 tracks of raw honesty, soaring hooks, and that bittersweet blend of grit and melody they’ve made their own.

Recorded after a period of change and reflection, New Lungs feels like a band breathing differently, still fueled by the urgency of their earlier work, but with a sharper focus and deeper emotional weight. These are songs about growth, loss, and finding light in the cracks, all wrapped in anthemic choruses that beg to be shouted back in sweaty rooms.

From the driving opener to the closing notes, Burnt Tapes have crafted a record that pushes their sound forward without losing the heart-on-sleeve vulnerability fans have always loved. Think Iron Chic’s singalongs, Spanish Love Songs’ emotional depth, and The Menzingers’ knack for turning life’s bruises into punk rock poetry.

New Lungs is out now everywhere you get your music. Play it loud and your heart will thank you later. Get it on vinyl or cassette and your collection will thank you later (link here).

We’re excited to share that Chloe Hawes has just dropped a brand new acoustic version of Polaroid, one of the standout tracks from their debut full-length Remains/Reminders.

The original version of Polaroid hit hard with gritty Americana and punk grit. This acoustic take strips the track down to its emotional core. With nothing but voice and guitar, Chloe’s storytelling shines even brighter, offering an intimate and raw reinterpretation of the song. It’s a quiet moment that cuts deep.

The acoustic version was recorded live, capturing all the nuance and vulnerability of the lyrics, and serves as a reminder of Chloe’s roots in DIY folk-punk songwriting. Fans of Katie Malco, or early Frank Turner will find a lot to love here.

If Remains/Reminders gave us the big full-band moments, this version of Polaroid feels like sitting across from Chloe in a dimly lit room while the song is sung directly to you.

If you’ve ever felt like a stranger in your own city, the new fight me irl. single “Cold Hawaii” might just hit home. With heartfelt lyrics and a punchy punk-rock sound, the Danish band captures that restless urge to escape; not just physically, but also emotionally.

“Cold Hawaii” isn’t about palm trees and sunshine. Instead, it’s about longing for somewhere else; a place to breathe, surf the frozen waves, and finally feel at peace. Through verses soaked in alienation and a chorus you’ll want to shout from a windswept shoreline, the band blends nostalgia, disillusionment, and a touch of dark humor.

What makes this track stand out is how it balances raw vulnerability with a sense of freedom. As a result, it gives listeners a bittersweet anthem for those “get me outta here” moments. Whether you grew up by the sea or feel stuck in a concrete maze, this one’s for you.

Moreover, the production complements the lyrics perfectly, with driving guitars and energetic drums that push the emotion forward without losing that punk edge. The band’s passion is palpable, making it impossible not to connect.

“Cold Hawaii” is out now on all platforms [Check it out here]. So wax your board (or don’t), hit play, and drift away.

Sport are back with their 4th full length after a 9 year break. The new album, In Waves, sounds like they have never been away sound fresh and playful as ever.

I (Andreas) can still remember trying like crazy to get their “The disco after the breakdown 2010-2019” LP collection back in 2019, so saying this is one of my favorite bands is an understatement. Seeing our little label being part of their new album, still feels like a dream sometimes.

Anyway, the new record is amazing you can get it here (also as a bundle with Bon Voyage and Colors) and you can listen to it here.
