When Ben Quad were announced as the only non-Pure Noise band on the upcoming Pure Noise Tour with Microwave, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, and Just Friends, we wondered if they were about to announce that they signed to Pure Noise, and today that’s exactly what happened. Their first single for the label is “You’ll Get Nothing and Like It,” and Ben Quad have clearly decided to announce the Pure Noise signing with a song that goes very hard. This one finds the Oklahoma band branching out from their Midwest emo roots and going in a much heavier direction, embracing screamo and metallic hardcore. It suits them very well, as you can hear for yourself below.
The Pure Noise tour doesn’t come to NYC but will be nearby for shows Norwalk, CT’s District Music Hall of November 15, Asbury Park, NJ’s Asbury Lanes on November 16, and Wantagh, NY’s Mulcahy’s on November 17. All dates are listed below.
