New Bruises in the studio to record their sophomore full-length!

Here we are in production of KOD 65 and in a way we're back exactly where we started. NEW BRUISES are currently in the studio recording their sophomore full-length (and follow-up to "Transmit Transmit") almost 5 years after releasing the band's first full-length as KOD 01. Sure, Bryon owns the label. Sure, they've released a plethora of splits in between. But we are all unbelievably stoked to have a new record by New Bruises. The band is recording in Gainesville, FL and I'll have more details like "album title" and "tracklisting" when Bryon figures out what the hell to call the songs.
