Two of the more popular bands on the current hardcore landscape are joining forces, both on wax and on the road. Let's get to the new music first.
Released today through a joint partnership between DAZE and Triple B Records, Coast to Coast finds Long Island, New York's Pain of Truth and San Jose, California's Sunami each taking on a pair of tracks.
Pain of Truth's contributions — "Shattered Past" and "The Enemy" — drive forward with gusto and vocalist Michael Smith riding the metallic hardcore groove with an authoratative flow that reminds you why they've become a headlining act in the last few years. There's countless bands in this stylistic lane, but Pain of Truth are in a class all their own.
Sunami's side of Coast to Coast keeps the rugged energy going with "Doubt" and "Fence Walker," with each song showcasing various sides of the Bay Area heroes' musical arsenal. Yes, the more breakdown-hungry fans of the group will be satiated, but there's some nasty work going on in the speed departments as well.
To celebrate the new EP, Pain of Truth and Sunami will be launching a co-headline US tour this Spring with support from Haywire and Peeling Flesh on select dates.
The tour starts on April 28th & 29th at RBS Fest in San Jose, making its way through the East Coast and Midwest:
