Buffalo, NY hardcore upstarts, SPACED, recently joined the Pure Noise Records roster and they've released their new EP, No Escape, out now. These five songs are packed with stomping riffs and psych-tinged aggression that offer a perfect introduction to SPACED's unique brand of self-proclaimed "far out hardcore," showcasing both the swirling textures and eye-bulging ferocity that define the group.
To celebrate the release SPACED have shared their new music video for How Did It Come To This? a hard-charging cut of phased-out guitars and groove-laden breakdowns.
SPACED—Reyngoudt, guitarists Joe Morganti and Donny Arthur, bassist John Vaughan and drummer Dan McCormick—came out swinging in 2021 with a fully-realized sound that they've relentlessly honed in the ensuring years. Now No Escape makes good on that evolution, pushing both the heaviness and their unique effects-drenched textures even further than ever before. Recorded by producer Jay Zubricky (Every Time I Die, Terror, Age of Apocalypse) the EP captures the band's freewheeling sonic attitude but also the defiant core at the center of Reyngoudt's lyrics. "[No Escape is] about feeling suffocated by our everyday lives. We grind and work our jobs while we’re home, and then grind some more out on the road. All of this is happening while the world feels like a daunting thundercloud over our heads. I wrote the lyrics of this album as an outlet to express my current feelings about what is going on. However, while I feel down about things like that, I still feel lucky to be surrounded by the hardcore community and people who will speak up with me.”
