Poison the Well is making a comeback with their first album in 15 years, 'Peace In Place', set for release on March 20, 2026.

Lead vocalist Jeffrey Moreira's reflections on the journey emphasize connection and catharsis, making this raw exploration of emotions a must-listen for fans old and new.

Planes Mistaken For Stars (also known as Planes or PMFS) is a Punk / Hardcore Punk band formed in Peoria, Illinois in 1997. The group later relocated to Denver, CO.

Their final show was played on February 16, 2008 at the Marquis Theater in Denver supported by fellow local friends Kingdom of Magic and Mustangs &.Madras. Since 2010 PMFS have been sporadically active again, and in 2016 a new album was announced. Founding member Gared O'Donnell died in November 24, 2021 due to cancer and the band subsequently disbanded. The band will finally release their final recordings with Gared and their first new music since 2016 in the form of a new LP in November of 2024.

UK alt-metal band Love Is Noise began its journey in 2021 as a collaboration between Humphrey and guitarist Tom Mellon balancing the ethereal and intense. While sonic signposts include modern day shoegaze as well as the likes of Glassjaw and Deftones, the band’s 2022 EP, Euphoria, Where Were You? (released on Fever 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s 333 Wreckords) pointed towards a soul-crushing sonic heartache all their own. A string of singles led to the band inking with Century Media and beginning on their debut album which will release in 2025. Combining elements of metal, post-hardcore, shoegaze, alternative rock/pop and adjacent genres, Love is Noise should appeal to a wide fanbase of heavy and melodic music, for fans of Loathe, Glassjaw, Deftones, Moodring, and Blanket.
