After a debut album in 2022, an EP in 2023, shows with Turnstile, Militarie Gun, Thursday and Refused, as well as tours across the US and UK, Bremen-based
@phantom.bay returns with Rite of Passage — three songs, under ten minutes, and some of their most focused and emotionally direct work to date! PREORDER the limited Corona Green x White 7 inch now at coretexrecords.com
Life's Close channels perseverance and resilience into something almost devotional — a song that keeps pounding not out of aggression, but out of genuine conviction that forward motion, however small, is enough. Partisan turns inward, wrestling with self-doubt, double standards and the messy reality of trying to live by your own values — an honest look at what punk actually means as an adult. The EP closes with a driving reinterpretation of Interpol's PDA, stripped of its original cool detachment and rebuilt entirely on Phantom Bay's own terms. Dubbed "one of the brightest lights in hardcore's future" by Anti-Matter, the band has always understood what its community values most: brevity, relentlessness and being the truest version of oneself. Rite of Passage delivers on all three.
Please note that the cover, print, or vinyl color may differ from the final product.
