POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

“Ten Inches of Water” by If I Die Screaming is about what happens when something dismissed as insignificant becomes deep enough to drown in and it appears on NOW OR NEVER. LOUDER TOGETHER! Vol. 2, a benefit compilation supporting the Transgender Education Network of Texas.

But, naturally, the human connection circles all the way back. I met Jon Sinko at Jon Bunch’s memorial; years later, a photograph Jon sent me opened another rabbit hole just as Todd Trout was helping me understand how to begin this project. Two people from seemingly separate parts of my life both connected through If I Die Screaming, quietly making sure I didn’t retreat into survival mode again.

Call it coincidence if you want. I’m calling it evidence that the lives we touch create ripples and sometimes those ripples return exactly when we need them.

NONLTV2 Preorder is Live 💥

NOW OR NEVER. LOUDER TOGETHER Vol 2. is exclusively on the DIVERSE CHORUS RECORDS Bandcamp, July 24, 2026 available, free with your donation to The Transgender Education Network of Texas, which is tax deductible and much appreciated!

Presented by LOUDER THAN HATE, NOW OR NEVER. LOUDER TOGETHER! VOL. 2 compilation features exclusive singles by Topdown, If I Die Screaming, and more, available now w/ your preorder purchase/donation.

…and LOUDER THAN HATE is celebrating with a release show, FRIDAY AUGUST 7th, 2026 - NONLTV2 compilation artists SUBPAR SNATCH, CORMAE, TOPDOWN, PSYCHEDELIC MAGGOT ENGINE, & HONEYBUNNY @29thstballroom, benefiting the TRANSGENDER EDUCATION NETWORK OF TEXAS.

Our 2nd exclusive track is the debut single, from Orange County’s If I Die Screaming. Featuring an ensemble cast of former (and current members) of Gameface, Big Drill Car, Field Day, Faded Grey, Backlash, and Vis. While hints of Superchunk, Lifetime, Gameface and Big Drill Car are present, the band’s sound is far from pigeon-holed.

Guitarist, Todd Trout, shared “In 2024, I found myself sidelined while recovering from a couple of surgeries. During that time, songwriting became my outlet as I poured the struggles, setbacks, and emotions I was having into music.”

Being invited to be part of LOUDER THAN HATE is important because it represents something we believe to be true, that music has the power to unite people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences while supporting equality and organizations that serve those in need. The old saying goes one can drown in ten inches of water while another can drown in ten feet of water, either way they’re both still drowning. Hate is similar. Whether it’s blatant oppression or in quieter forms of prejudice or intolerance, hate consumes people regardless of its size.
We believe music has a unique ability to break down barriers and remind us of our shared humanity and help people be seen.” - Jon Sinko

Some music is meant to entertain. Some music is meant to remind you that you’re not alone.

One of the things I love most about the independent music community is that it has always been about more than just the music. It’s about connection, belonging, and creating space for voices that deserve to be heard.

I’m excited to see my friends in If I Die Screaming featured on Now or Never: Louder Together Vol. 2 from Diverse Chorus Records.

This project is more than a compilation—it’s a way for artists and listeners to come together in support of LGBTQ+ voices and others who continue to fight for equality, visibility, and acceptance.

The compilation is available for pre-order now, with release day coming soon. I can’t wait for everyone to hear what these artists have created and to support a project built around community, inclusion, and solidarity.

Pre-order Now or Never: Louder Together Vol. 2 here:
https://diversechorusrecords.bandcamp.com/album/now-or-never-louder-together-vol-2

Independent music has always been at its best when it gives people a place to belong. Let’s keep supporting the artists, labels, and communities that make that possible.

Support the music. Support independent artists. Keep the community loud. ✌️❤️✨🤘 by @ifidiescreaming_ca
