The foursome’s fifth LP, PCP Presents Alice in Wonderland Jr., is out this May.

Uniform – No Trending
Release Date: TBA
Label: TBA
Release Info
Given the fact that their demo was released in late 2014, it should come as no surprise that Uniform’s forthcoming No Trending LP is a considerable departure from the raw punk screeds they were carving out in their early days. Weirder, more abstract and exploratory, the album is in currently in search of a label to call home. Until then, we’ll have to make do with the live version, which has been known to play a show or two about town.

WAKE – Manifesto
Release Date: January/February
Label: Underground Field Recordings
Release Info
WAKE’s music has always carried a serious sociopolitical bent, but over the past couple of years the Atlanta hip-hop collective has taken their activism to new levels by partnering with a wide variety of progressive organizations to bring awareness to critical social issues. Given their willingness to take a stand and put in the hard work of creating change, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that their upcoming record will be called Manifesto. Details have yet to be revealed but with a proposed January/February release date, we can expect to hear from WAKE real soon.
