Hello friends <3
Here to let you know that we are on hiatus from playing live shows for the winter while our bassist Mindy is having her baby !!! We are so happy for her!! :) We’re also excited to take some time to slow down and to dream new things…

In late May, we recorded a full length album with @efrimmanuelmenuck at Hotel2Tango in Montreal <333 It is currently being mixed and we will be working towards its completion this winter. We are so looking forward to sharing it with you all come spring/summer 2027 🤞

We have been blessed to be able to write, record, and play live for ourselves and whoever may hear it ❤️❤️❤️

We are truly thankful for an amazing last year of incredibly beautiful shows with so many friends. If you came out and saw us, bought a tape or shirt, or helped us in any way we are so thankful ! Because of your support, we were able to travel, write, and record this album. Thank you <3

We still have tapes and shirts and will ship them wherever, whenever ! Feel free to DM or link is in bio. Love and Peace see you in 2027💟

Stab at Quarryside at Rock Row in Westbrook, ME – September 11, 2026 w/ Before Your Eyes, Mortar, Risk, and Recollection. Photos from their album release party. "Lost in Maine" came out on Unbeaten Records at the end of July and it's so good. Melodic hardcore with so much groove!

If you haven’t checked it out, Sowing’s new album ‘Bluff’ absolutely rules. A front to back LP like you read about.

Worcester on top.

Ep 342 is LIVE. Today we’re joined by Mitch Holmes, vocalist/guitarist of the Worcester band Sowing.

We dig into Mitch’s come up as a musician, Sowing’s formation, early show memories, and their excellent new LP, ‘Bluff’, out now on 51st State Records.

We really dig Sowing, and think you’ll dig them too. Give this convo and their new record a spin!

We start the episode recounting the Turnstile show in Portland, ME a week ago. All timer!
