KNUMEARS Share New Single/Video "Untitled"; Debut Album “Directions” Out This Friday, April 3rd via Run For Cover Records / Summer Shade

Los Angeles screamo upstarts, Knumears, are gearing up for the impending release of their debut album, "Directions", due out this Friday April 3rd via Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade. Today they're sharing one more early taste, their cataclysmic final single "Untitled."

Directions is a screamo tour de force that reinvigorates the genre through sheer passion, as evidenced by early singles "My Name" and "Fade Away" (which drew attention from Stereogum, Alt Press, BrooklynVegan, Revolver, and more) and now "Untitled." In barely over 90 seconds the track delivers a perfect cross section of old school '90s skramz and punchy modern hardcore that offers something for all kinds of aggressive music fans.

Since their formation Knumears (guitarist/vocalist Matthew Cole, bassist/vocalist Dante Garcia II, and drummer Frankie Lopez) have been touring heavily and releasing a steady drip of heartrendingly compelling music. The band carries the torch for one of the most esoteric yet enduring corners of '90s hardcore–whether you call it screamo, skramz, emoviolence, post-hardcore, or whatever else, Knumears offer a fresh take on the chaos and catharsis that define this sound.

Recorded by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away, Loma Prieta) at Atomic Garden, "Directions" is bursting with the undeniable passion that's so intrinsic to this genre. "I think what draws us to this type of music, just like everyone else, is the absolute raw emotion,” Cole says. “We all grew up listening to hardcore, and I think that allows you to see the world in a completely different light—both more creatively and intellectually. Not being raised on music that had nothing real to say was the best thing that happened to us."
