St. Louis melodic hardcore band Squint released two of the best EPs of last year, Feel It and Wash Away, and they’ve announced Feel It All Wash Away, which collects the songs from both (they’d previously only been available on limited cassettes) with new artwork from their regular collaborator Bastian Najdek. We have an exclusive variant of the 12″, on washed blue vinyl and limited to just 100 copies. Grab yours HERE while they last!
About Feel It and Wash Away, we wrote, “For fans of catchy, alternative rock-infused hardcore, you might not find a better new band this year than Squint. Formed by members of Soul Craft, Time and Pressure, and more, the St. Louis band have a Turning Point-meets-Seaweed formula that ends up recalling anything from Title Fight to Drug Church to Fiddlehead to Anxious. Influences and comparisons aside, Squint emerged as rookie of the year contenders because their music arrived so fully-formed and so addictive. Across two EPs, Squint blessed us with nine songs this year, and each one is a banger: walls of guitars, gritty hooks, and songs that beg to be played again and again and again.”
In addition to putting out the 12″, Squint just released a new single, “All.” It’s cut from the same grungy melodic hardcore cloth as the first two EPs, and it also feels like a step forward. Listen below.
Squint also have some US shows with Sign Language coming up in August. See all dates below.
