SQUINT
Established in 2022 in St. Louis, Missouri, Squint bring a fresh, authentic take on hardcore, drawing inspiration from 90s hardcore, punk, Brit Pop, and grunge, creating a sound uniquely their own. Squint is at the forefront of a new wave of hardcore bands poised to break into the mainstream, akin to trailblazers like Drug Church, Militarie Gun, Scowl, and Turnstile. Their music’s raw intensity and profound lyrics connect with audiences, positioning Squint as a rising star in hardcore.
In an era where the hardcore genre is growing and evolving, Squint stands as a testament to its enduring power. With their dedication to their craft and a sound that resonates across generations, Squint is poised to make a lasting impact on the hardcore scene and beyond. Keep an eye on Squint; their musical journey is just beginning.
FEVERCHILD
Feverchild seemed to have mastered their sound of late 90’s post-hardcore/emo on their latest and most thorough release yet, “Altering a Memory”. Following a self-titled EP and two-song single (the latter appearing on this album) in addition to their first tour, the band is at their strongest yet. “Altering a Memory” is primarily driven by melody—something the band has always incorporated, but now more attentive to. The intro track and “Eva” show the band stripping away some of the abrasiveness of their sound, and pull back to incorporate more quiet and atmospheric elements; ultimately creating a more diverse album where both the quiet and louder moments are more noticeable. “Altering a Memory” may be a stepping stone—not just for Feverchild—but perhaps for a new wave of emo to come.
