VA- Balladeers, Redefined

Label: Secret Voice

Released 2023

Word of mouth can be a powerful thing. Featuring new and unreleased tracks “Balladeers, Redefined” was originally going to be a small handful of bands but before long we found ourselves with 30+ who were all bringing their originality and brilliance to a genre held special by those who’ve found it. Every band recommended another band. The DIY network behind screamo and scream-adjacent indie or hardcore is like few others and that alone is a wonderful inspiration. This compilation brings together bands from all over, older and newer. From bands comprised of musicians who’ve been spearheading the sound like Jeromes Dream, Zeta, Hundreds of AU (members of You and I), Nø Man (members of Majority Rule) and Terminal Bliss (members of Pg.99) to younger bands like Soul Glo, Record Setter, Infant Island, Boneflower, For Your Health, Slow Fire Pistol, Nuvolascura, Frail Body, Gillian Carter, Thirdface, Senza, Massa Nera, and many more.
