Hip-hop/hardcore quartet UnityTX have signed to Pure Noise Records (Drug Church, LURK, Stick To Your Guns).

The Dallas band announced the news today along with the release of their new album MADBOY, which is out right now. The first single off MADBOY, “RUCKUS“, is also available now.

UnityTX formed in 2014 and consist of vocalist Jay Webster, guitarists Alberto Vazquez and Ricky Cova, and drummer Jonathan Flores. They have done tours and festival shows with Kaonashi, Motionless In White, Power Trip, Spite, and Emmure.

Kaonashi Sign To Equal Vision Records, Drop New Music Video

Emo mathcore group Kaonashi are the newest band added to Equal Vision Records (Greyhaven, Never Loved, Sleep On It), and they’re celebrating with a music video.

The Philly quintet announced the news earlier today, thanking anyone who believed in them on their journey. They also unveiled the video for their song “My 5-Year Plan”, which you can watch here.

Kaonashi formed in 2012 and are named after the character No-Face from the beloved movie Spirited Away. They dropped their latest EP Why Did You Do It?, which is considered a “rollercoaster ride across seven tracks ranging from downright brutal riffs to serene, melodic moments,” last year. The band have shared stages with acts like For The Fallen Dreams, I Set My Friends On Fire, Between The Buried And Me, Stick To Your Guns, and Vanna. They just appeared at This Is Hardcore Fest last Saturday along with Saves The Day, Hoods, and Agnostic Front.

Next month, Kaonashi will be touring with The Last Ten Seconds Of Life and are appearing at iMatter Festival with Beartooth, I See Stars, and Left Behind.
