Energy of Lonesome Goal

This past week (on the day of the great Instagram/Facebook crash), my favorite music news website of all time Noecho did us the great favor by premiering the first song off Summerhead's debut single, Snoozer. With this premier we also put up pre-orders for the single (and a sick soccer jersey), the A-side being one of my favorite Summerhead tracks, The Crypt (LP is already finished and will be coming out later this year). The video can be found below but give Noecho a click too.

Head2wall Records Welcomes Summerhead to Head2wall Records Featuring Grey Gordon of Head2wall Records Wickerwolves

The Head2wall Records Nation is thrilled to officially introduce SUMMERHEAD! This semi-psychedelic slowcore-meets-trip-hop trio is comprised of three experienced minds from across the country, and with storied musical histories from across the sonic spectrum. The result of this long-distance cross-genre push and pull is an incredible collection of songs that perfectly meld the electronic melancholy of late-era Massive Attack with the subtle emotional intensity of Spiritualized, and a near-Codeine level of droning, endlessly relatable banality. Keep an eye out for music in the coming weeks, and the debut 7” single, The Crypt b/w Snoozer, out this spring!

Reunited Wickerwolves To Release First Physical

We are very excited to be working with recently-reunited Fort Wayne, Indiana post-hardcore powerhouse Wickerwolves on the first-ever physical release of their posthumous swan song full-length, Tokyo Bones. This masterpiece is 30 minutes of ripping, emotionally charged riffing, in the vein of Jawbox, Shift, Hum, etc., and will be available on a limited cassette Friday, March 8th, and at their first show back the following night, at The Bug House in Fort Wayne. If you haven’t heard this monster yet, stream it now, wherever you do such things.

Texas's GOODGIRL Joins the Head2wall Fold

We at Head2wall Records are so excited to welcome Houston, Texas’s GOODGIRL to the H2W roster, and announce the release of their debut EP, Poor Habits, out February 14th! As much a collective as a band, this incredibly talented group of individuals artfully blends the lo-fi pop of ‘90s alternative rock staples like The Breeders and Pixies, with the noisy dissonance of bands like Sonic Youth and Melvins to create something simultaneously beautiful and off-putting. Stay tuned for details and music in the coming weeks!

Stalemate Joins The Head2wall Records Family

For the uninitiated, Cleveland, Ohio's Stalemate have been a band for almost two decades beginning as Tooth Fuzz in 2001 and adopting their current moniker back in 2010. To say these guys have been putting in work is an understatement, they have taken great time in refining their sound with each album coming out three to four years after the last. In 2015 they self released Permanent Things that to me harks back just as much to a band like The Get Up Kids as it would to Weezer, alternative rock but still with a punk edge. I love this band because I feel like even on a recording you can hear the energy in both their vocals and their music and even on slower songs you can hear them drawing things out in just the right way (I think this is harder to pull off and it sound earnest). Grab a copy of their last LP/CD in the Head2wall Webstore now, to get caught up, and stay tuned for more details on the new record in the coming weeks!
