JAIL SOCKS
Bandcamp | Facebook | Twitter
Jail Socks seemed to escape from nowhere and everywhere all at once. A band that could’ve been lumped into the umpteen named after clothing and discarded in the donation pile got traded up for something much larger.
It’s in that breakout where this North Carolina trio found its core identity—a band born from heat exhaustion and excitable wanderlust—and a homegrown, dedicated fan community. After releasing No Promises and a split EP in 2018 to buzz-worthy fanfare across the country, the band’s back with It’s Not Forever, moreso a reaffirmation of their mission than a proper debut. It reaches into the thorns of hardcore, brushes against the aromatic lift of pop-punk, and gets misted by emo’s heady self-awareness to emerge atop a new wave of acerbic rock music. You’ll see the forest for the trees here.
HOMESAFE
Website | Bandcamp | Facebook | Twitter
Homesafe is an American Pop Punk band from Chicago, Illinois. Originally a temporary bassist for Knuckle Puck, Ryan Rumchaks wanted to form a band of his own. Though he became a permanent member, Homesafe continued to grow and create their own music.
ARM’S LENGTH
Bandcamp | Facebook | Twitter
Hailing from Quinte West, Ontario, Arm’s Length debuted in 2019 with What’s Mine Is Yours. The upcoming follow-up EP, Everything Nice, is just as immediately familiar and refreshingly vital. The band’s upcoming record deals with classic emo fare - mental health, family frustrations, fractured early 20s relationships. But the band imbues it all with burning aggression, dynamic style, and anthemic sensibilities that stand with their influences, fashioning roaring emo rock monsters from the young band’s experiences.
