Baltimore hardcore band Jivebomb will follow up their promising early EPs with their first full-length album, Ethereal, due March 28 via Flatspot Records (pre-order). It was recorded with Uniform’s Ben Greenberg, and the first taste is the 86-second lead single “Survival Ain’t Taught.” It finds the band leaning into a ten-ton metallic hardcore side that they only hinted at on the EPs, and it comes with a Noah Haycock-directed video that takes cues from ’90s hip hop videos. Check it out below.
Jivebomb have shows with fellow Baltimorians Angel Du$t this week, including Hamden, CT’s Space Ballroom on Wednesday (1/29) (with Utility) and Rutherford, NJ’s Black Box At The Williams Center on Friday (1/31) (with headliners E.Town Concrete, plus Suburban Scum, Hold My Own, Dmize, and XL Bully), followed by Flatspot Records’ Disturbin The Peace in Baltimore on Saturday (2/1) with Speed, Angel Du$t, E.Town Concrete, Dmize, and more. Two weeks after that, they play Flatspot World Miami (2/15) with Scowl, Zulu, and more. All dates are listed below.
