Lovesliescrushing - Voirshn - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

As crushed, musicians Bre Morell and Shaun Durkan make maximalist dream pop music for themselves. Recording out of various homes, not fixed to any single location (Morell from Texas, now based in Los Angeles, and Durkan in Portland, Oregon), they write the songs they want to hear, tuning from shared taste for trip-hop, Britpop, electronica, and the canon of '90s alt radio, a desire for emotionality, and an instinct for when it sounds right and honest; when it means something real to them. Their full-length debut, no scope, embodies their trust in one another and in their craft. A Inchno scopeInch kill in the video game lexicon is achieved by shooting a sniper rifle at close range without scoping in on your target, an apt metaphor for two artists following their pop impulses, shooting from the hip with precision. InchIt might also mean like, having no future,Inch jokes Morell, Inchgetting no-scoped by life.Inch The reality of failure looms in most creative pursuits, perhaps more pronounced the further into your field you get. Several musical lives and midnight transmissions have led Morell and Durkan to this project. And on the triumphant no scope, crushed take life's best shots with their strongest work, wielding melodic, open-hearted hooks through a maze of breakbeats and spliced sound design with unprecedented immediacy and clarity. Next level, unlocked.no scope follows extra life, the 2023 EP and debut collaboration between Morell, who also fronts the band Temple of Angels (Run For Cover Records), and Durkan, who has produced for others (Topographies, Young Prisms) following the 2010s run of his former band Weekend (Slumberland Records). Their first batch of songs together saw a groundswell of support, finding early fans in Pitchfork, NPR, and Ghostly International, who signed the band and gave extra life a wider physical in 2024.

NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the of CRUSHING from Dallas/Ft. Worth powerhouse metal band Creeper. CRUSHING (2025) is a brutal, groove-heavy recorded at MediaTech Institute, House of Wags, and Boot Hill Studios, with production by Metal veterans Kerry Crafton (Rigor Mortis, Devastation, Juggernaut, Deadhorse, Warbeast, etc) and Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Hellyeah, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, etc). Creeper are a juggernaut force from the Texas metal scene and has been for many years. The band delivers a unique blend of aggression, melody, intensity, and deep grooves. Their sound is characterized by heavy riffs, thunderous drums, booming bass, and powerful vocals that will leave you craving for more. Since this line up came together in 2021, Creeper has evolved into a groove-driven metal force to be reckoned with. Inspired by legends like Pantera, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden, and powered by the aggression of Slayer and Sepultura, they've created their own Southern Metal identity, with Texx Duncan on vocals, Jimi Fritz and Paul Fritz on guitar, Ian Train on bass, and Kurtis Lawrence on drums. PRODUCER'S NOTE InchCREEPER is a band that I have followed and enjoyed for about fifteen years. Though all previous lineups had great players in them, none of them were quite Inchthere.Inch When this lineup came together about 4 years ago, the synergy happened. With a little grooming and a lot of practice on their part, CREEPER turned into a beast and the songwriting soared! Spending a year recording with Sterling Winfield and myself turned them into a machine! Sterling and I are both quite proud of the record and we can't wait to unleash it!Inch -Kerry Crafton
