Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
A joint effort between Adagio830, Barley Regal Records, Black Lake & Finu Discos
300 copies on black and 200 on Blue
The third album from Scottish post-hardcore trio Carson Wells, out 15 June 2018 via Barely Regal Records and Black Lake Records in the UK, as well as European labels Adagio830 and Discos Finu, in Berlin and Madrid respectively. It will be available on 12” vinyl and as a digital download. All artwork was created by Andy Hemming.
From their roots in mathy screamo, to their intricate and brooding sophomore LP, Tread A Northern Path, Carson Wells has evolved considerably during their near decade as a band. No Relic continues to push their music in new directions, as arguably their most surprising release to date.
At 6-songs, certain authorities might consider it too short for the ‘long-play’ tag, yet, at thirty minutes it outruns their debut album, the nine track 'Wonderkid'. The sprawling compositions on 'No Relic' stand as a testament to the expanded horizons of the trio’s songwriting - switching effortlessly from blistering, scrappy sections that hark back to the band's early output, to expansive, hypnotic passages.

Who was expecting this in 2020? The Union Ares previously existed as a band post the demise of Kolya, around 15 years ago. They now exist in two different forms (one in Scotland, with members of Carson Wells, and one in the Netherlands). This album is from the Scotland version of the band, and oh boy are you in for a treat. Melodic indie / emo that isn't a million miles from Kolya but still takes things in a brand new direction. You don't get many bands like this in 2020 so make the most of the ones you got.

One of my favorite songs of all time. I used to listen to live bootlegs of it back when there was no official studio recording, because the band had broken up. This version is literally a dream come true. Ryan Johanson
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
The Italian hardcore group’s latest is a powerful, claustrophobic album that rarely lets up its mathy, metallic assault. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 6, 2018
