What band did you discover in 2024 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?

Definitely for the 20-year anniversary of Red Scare. The release of the compilation, the Vegas punk rock museum takeover, and some fun shows all round the States to celebrate the greatest record label in the world.
What can we look forward to from you in 2025?
A new album from Good Friend, touring, shows with The Menzingers, some more shows at home in Ireland and the UK as well as USA later in the year.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2025?
Our own…10 years in the making, so I just want it out. Also looking forward to new material from The Starting Line.
How do you try to get your news to fans as media platforms and algorithms change?
We try to communicate across most of major platforms, although We’re not on X anymore. Instagram is probably where you can stay up to date.
