Known Bloom is a group of four longtime friends from Chesapeake and Richmond VA that play punk music together.
On their eight-song debut, “Throw-Away Places,” you’ll hear a multitude of different approaches to hardcore rarely explored or celebrated in 2024. This is a release for anyone who wants to hear more bands pulling from Shotmaker and Born Against. But Known Bloom still take care to avoid becoming predictable or stuck in the mire of photocopy inspiration. Atonal guitar licks reminiscent of Today Is The Day highlight “Tools Of Distraction,” and their rhythm section weave bridges that feel like they’re pulled from lost Ink & Dagger tracks, especially on “Insecurities”.
If you’re imagining the feel of tattered HeartattaCk pages (printed on 100% recycled paper) right now, then we’ve found our people. I hope you enjoy this one - it’s something special.
Limited to 100 copies on professionally duplicated, Ferro-Master cassettes with imprint and a four-panel J-card. All copies include a digital download code.
Recorded and Mixed by Greenough at Not For The Weak.
Mastered by Will Killingsworth at DeadAir.
