Buffalo “far out hardcore” band Spaced have announced their debut full-length album, This Is All We Get, due March 22 via Revelation Records (pre-order). They made it with hometown engineer Jay Zubricky (Every Time I Die, Terror, etc), and it finds the band staying true to their classic hardcore influences without limiting themselves, as they explain:
We’ve always had the intention of approaching hardcore with a traditional base—taking our influence from bands like The Rival Mob, Suicidal Tendencies, Gorilla Biscuits, and so many others—but adding textures and sounds that you might hear from bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Swans, etc.
This release is our most confident work yet, and we feel stronger in what we’re doing with every facet of the band. We want the riffs and vocals to hit and impact anyone who listens—whether you’re discussing the record or a live setting—while adding reverb, flange, and delay in sections to fulfill the ‘SPACED’ sound. We’re continually shaping what that means for us, and look forward to keep developing our sound in the hardcore space.
The first taste of This Is All We Get is “Landslide,” which lives up to that album description–it’s a hardcore ripper with just the right amount of genre-bending atmosphere and a hook that’s damn near impossible not to shout along to. It comes with an Adam Kellerman-directed music video that brings retro workout videos and mosh pits together. Check it out below.
Spaced are also opening part of the Militarie Gun / Pool Kids / Spiritual Cramp tour, including the show at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on February 15. After that, they head to the UK for shows with Going Off, Shooting Daggers, and Uncertainty. All dates are listed below.
