Ram Records activists Xample and Lomax have announced that they will be releasing a single under the new encompassing alias ‘Loadstar‘.
‘Link To The Past‘ has already been dubbed by known taste-makers as track of the year and seeing as it also shares the name of one of the best videogames ever made then who are we to doubt that? It’s backed with ‘Rapidas’ and will be available from September 27th.
Peep the teaser for the release below and get hyped.
Maps & Atlases have posted the video for ‘Solid Ground‘, a cut from their album ‘Perch Patchwork‘, currently due a UK release on October 4th through Fat Cat Records.
The video was directed by Taryn Gould and Emily Kowalczyk and sees the Chicago math-folk troupe enter a foresty summer camp location and escalate into some very nice aesthetic crescendos.
The greatest fancy dress mosh extravaganza is back from the dead in time for Halloween on October 30th at the Kazimer, Liverpool.
For Night Of The Living Dead 9 Thrashgig, Evol and Meshuggy has pulled in Fucked Up, Charlie Chuck, SSS, Hot Club de Paris, Cold Ones and a lengthy ‘Disco Mosh’ with DJs afterwards in what is one of the gnarliest line-ups of the year for sure.
There will be giveaways from Vans, Creature, Spitfire and Independent, so don’t hesitate getting tickets for this. They cost £10 and can be purchased from here.

Tune in to the band’s website at circasurvive.com
Lazerbeak has posted the first video from his upcoming album online.
Land’s End is taken from Legend Recognize Legend which is released on Doomtree Records on September 19th. The man responsible for bangers like Stand Up by P.O.S. and the awesome Plastic Constellations band [R.I.P.] is definitely going to be raising eyebrows with his album, but as the video below shows, it’s gonna be big.
