We Never Learned To Live
The Sleepwalk Transmissions
Four years on from their enthrallingly epic and ambitious debut, We Never Learned To Live are back with their sophomore release ‘The Sleepwalk Transmissions’. Since their debut album the band have recorded a BBC Maida Vale session, toured the UK and Europe multiple times and taken in festivals such as Arc Tan Gent and Incubate, garnering acclaim and a loyal following. The time spent away and care to their craft has proved to be incredibly beneficial to the post-hardcore troupe, with all of their grandiose soundscapes intact and expanded upon with an explosion of dramatic urgency. ‘Permafrost’ ushers in the album with a sense of lucidity and transience, building from yearning guitar chords and vast drums, before introducing a colossal explosion akin to two worlds colliding. As far as setting a tone, the album’s first track is an all encompassing declaration that paints the following songs in vivid technicolours. Not too dissimilar from genre progenitors Hopesfall, Thursday and Deftones, the UK quintet’s sound presents an intoxicating dichotomy of the serene and the devastating. Cuts such as ‘Android Anaesthetist’ , ‘Luma / Non Luma’ and ‘Radio Silence’ solidify WNLTL’s small but stellar catalogue of stirring post-hardcore as soul speaking works of transcendental art. Choosing to adopt a far leaner and more concise approach to their songwriting, there is an incredible urgency through the album’s 11 songs that still retains memorability. Familiar without a hint of playing it safe and emotive without being trite, ‘The Sleepwalk Transmissions’ is sure to captivate all those it comes into contact with.

Defeater
European indies exclusive LP is oxblood/milky clear coloured vinyl. Limited to 1000, with 300 for the UK.
Regular LP is on black vinyl.
The fifth full length album from the incredible Massachusetts post-hardcore band Defeater. Production duties have been handled by Will Yip, we know this will be a super great record of pummelling and devastating post-hardcore. A must-get-into band if you're into the likes of Touche Amore, La Dispute, More Than Life, Departures or Title Fight.
Yet it’s been a long journey to where the band is now. Years of touring took their toll on the friends that make up the current line-up of Derek Archambault (vocals), Jake Woodruff (guitar), Adam Crowe (guitar), Mike Poulin (bass) and Joe Longobardi (drums). Health, substance abuse issues, and ejecting a long-time member had made a touring hiatus necessary. After a few months at home, working and decompressing, the fire to write a new record caught everyone in a major way.
The result of time off and the band’s renewed energy, Defeater has created their most organic batch of songs yet. And in Defeater fashion, the instrumentation is complimented by a narrative approach. Archambault explores his own "Glass family" (an homage to the J.D. Salinger characters) from new perspectives.

La Dispute
Panorama
Banquet exclusive LP is on 'Spirit Quartz' coloured vinyl, /500. Indies exclusive LP is on 'Charoite' coloured vinyl, /500. The hugely anticipated fourth full length album from the incredible La Dispute, following on from 2014's Rooms Of The House. Offering another dose of their intricate, spoken-word poetry combined with post-hardcore. "La Dispute have overcome their own shadow, creating an unflinching masterpiece, a new milestone in an uncompromising career of beauty and misery" - 5/5, Wall of Sound "Rose Quartz" is a bright white light, then the low hum of tires on a country highway; "Fulton Street I" is two heads in the car turning quietly at passing landmarks, plywood monuments with plastic flowers and the stories that populate the stretch of road between two places. Together, they're the first two tracks on a record born from long drives like that, between a new and an old home, that takes a wide-angled shot of a city and just outside of it. How events there linger on in the memory of all those involved, carrying the characters off in thoughts of grief and healing to other planes and other histories. Everything on the record started with that image — and with the feeling of drifting off in thought toward different worlds — and with this piece, which was written largely in one setting after having scrapped nearly a full album's worth of material.
