NO CURE — Blaythe Steuer (vocals), Aesop Mongo (guitar), Kyle Ray (guitar), Jake Murnane (bass), and Duncan Newey (drums) — have dropped their concept EP I Hope I Die Here via SharpTone Records. The eight-track release is available now on streaming platforms and in limited physical formats, including double 7″ vinyl, cassettes, and CDs.
The band also unveiled the video for “Hang Me From the Bible Belt,” featuring Daniel McWhorter of GIDEON.
“I am so proud of this song,” says Steuer. “I sat on the intro riff for a couple years and I’m so happy it finally found its place. This song came together so well and it says what I’ve needed to say my whole life. Thank you so much to Dan singing on this with us.”
The EP fuses raw, hardcore energy with death metal precision and features guest appearances on every track. “Every track features someone who has made an undeniable mark on Alabama hardcore,” the band shares. “We don’t expect you to recognize every name — that’s the point.”
Thematically, I Hope I Die Here is “a love letter to Alabama and the Southeastern experience,” exploring religion, fraternity culture, ecological exploitation, and other regional struggles. NO CURE emphasizes the EP’s intention: “We approach topics that matter rather than rehashing tired tropes.”
Expect more from NO CURE in 2025!
