FOSTER THE PEOPLE UNVEIL NEW SINGLE “STYLE”
Speaking about the new track, frontman Mark Foster stated, “I’ve been wrestling with certain themes since we put out Torches. I guess it’s my way of processing the law of chaos and random happenings in our universe. There is hope for the underdog. I like to fight from the ropes. I never like to feel like I’m on top of the hill. This song is another facet of that same story. When we face the question of our own mortality, we are free to live our lives without fear.”

LA DISPUTE RELEASES NEW LP PANORAMA
Hardcore luminaries La Dispute have released Panorama, their first LP in 4 years. Produced by the band in tandem with return producer Will Yip (Quicksand, Braid, Code Orange, Nothing, Title Fight) Panorama combines jazz, rock, slowcore, noise, hardcore among other influences over the span of 10 tracks. Most of what happens on the album takes place on the route singer Jordan Dreyer and his partner would drive from their home in the East Hills neighborhood of Grand Rapids to the city of Lowell, where she grew up. Everywhere along the drive are places where, in varying degrees of recency, people have died: a pond where a man drowned walking home in the winter, multiple places where people crashed driving drunk or were killed in car accidents, and one place where years prior a city worker found a Jane Doe decomposed. Panorama is intended to be a wide angled shot of that drive, with the stories of those tragedies becoming focal points but filtered through the sieve of the couple’s life together.
