Hi,

This is Alice from Early Onset Records and I have a band that is releasing their record Blood Fortune on March 8th 2020. I've included their bio and a bandcamp download link and code at the bottom. I would love to hear what you think. Thank you!

ABOUT THE BAND: Ryan and Geof Dolejsi (dough-lay-she) are actual brothers, born and raised near Vancouver B.C. They cut their teeth on hardcore shows in the early 90’s and started AANTHEMS in 2015. Geof does his level best to make his drums sound like a locomotive, and Ryan plays bass, completely wrong, while both are howling almost the whole time. It’s a sweaty angry mess, and it feels like someone is finally on your side.

GENRE: Punk Rock

SUB GENRE: Sweaty, fast, catchy and twisty lyric driven noise/hardcore/punk rock'n'roll

Inspired by Fugazi, Refused, Gaslight Anthem, Bear vs. Shark

RECORD RELEASE:

Blood Fortune is a bastard of a record, railing against greed, corruption and the end of humanity with just a little hope for those with light in their hearts. The album was inspired by the general lack of concern expressed about how the importance of currency has completely eclipsed that of human life. That’s pretty heavy, and so is this record. Somehow, AANTHEMS are not done fighting. What else is there to do?

March 8th 2020 all platforms, 12” coloured vinyl through Early Onset Records

UPCOMING SHOWS AND IMPORTANT DATES:

March 27th 2020 - Record Release Show at Pat's Pub in Vancouver

March 28th 2020 - Knotty Burl in Squamish

FOCUS TRACKS:

1. Bottom Rung - 2:39

Born out of a decade of living hand to mouth in a city that’s dying to leave you behind

5. We Don’t Want That - 2:47

Hope for a world where compassion and unity might actually exist, and the ways religion and prejudice keep us on our knees.

6. Weight - 3:46

A cold hard look at the results of a century of willful ignorance and the compartmentalization of the human psyche

7. CRISPR - 2:11

A fun one about gene sequencing and making designer babies. What could possibly go wrong?

10. Unsinkable Ships - 2:09

At once the angriest and most hopeful. Humanity at our worst, meet humanity at our best. 

EXPLICIT TRACKS:
