June 13th we have the legendary Texas hardcore band @dieyoungtx coming through. All you new kids need to get familiar. Local support from @leash.hc and @sangre.918 means it’ll be a banger show. Be there!
TONITE! All Ages! $15/Doors 6pm! Shutdown/Die Young/Liberty&Justice/Concrete Elite/Born Savage
Followed by AFTERHOURS! Dj Darkseid Dj J. Shadows playing the best in Darkwave/Industrial & 80s. 11pm to 3am
A fun blast from the past: It was the year 2000. Harley's Cro-Mags came through Houston with All Out War and Shutdown. A 17-year old (pre-Die Young, pre-vegan powerlifting) Daniel winds up in this picture with a bunch of hardcore legends backstage at Fitzgerald's (RIP).
Fast forward to 2026, and Mike Score from All Out War appears on the new Die Young track "Universal Sin" and next week in Texas, Shutdown and Die Young join forces for three shows:
4/10 Houston TX at The End
4/11 San Antonio TX at O Death
4/12 Austin TX at Brushy Street Commons
Hardcore has a magical way of coming full circle if you live it and stay involved.
UNIVERSAL SIN cassette tapes by @yetzer_hara_recs are in and SHIPPING TODAY!
*Limited copies still available via the MerchNow and Bandcamp links in our bio.
Test presses sold out almost immediately when pre-orders went up last month. We thank you 🙏🏼 and we just want to take a second to marvel at the hand-sprayed, individually screened packaging by @immigrantsunrecords on the test presses as they ship. Ever since 2003, Sean and crew have been putting these personal touches on our releases, especially for the special variations, and we are always grateful for the time and dedication invested in making each release unique and collectible.
Black and Gold variations of the first pressing still available via links in bio!
TEXAS UP NEXT! W/our brothers in @dieyoungtx
We're counting the days till this!
This has been a long time coming!
Tickets still available! Don't miss out on these shows!
Stage dives and high fives!
NYHC FOREVER!❤️
We've seen THE FUTURE, baby. It is murder!
The split EP featuring a collaborative cover of Leonard Cohen's prophetic anthem is out now and streaming on all platforms. Orders from Immigrant Sun and Contra Records are already shipping. Thank you all 🙏🏼
THE FUTURE drops digitally this Friday 3/20. Pre-orders are shipping this week. Last call on these limited shirts featuring Brother Leonard (via MerchNow link in bio).
We dropped WANTED TO BELIEVE exactly one year ago today. We're still out here trying to believe...in dialogue, in cooperation, in trust, in humanity. It's tough, but we do *want* to believe.
Despite the realistically grim content (of all our records), this was a fun one to make. It was a real honor to have @formivaudio on board for the recording of vocals and guitars, and it was a comfort to team up with old pals @immigrantsunrecords and @deadtruthrecordings to make the vinyl come to life. Many of these songs will remain in the live set from here on out, as you folks seem to like em. Thanks for the ride.
We'll see you in April in Texas to release TWO new EPs!
