Bullet Tooth label is excited to announce that HOSTILITIES from Portland, OR has joined the label’s roster and will drop their debut album “No Cowards” later this year! Listen to a sample of the new song “Cornered” above.
Formed in 2018, Hostilities has made no reservations or concessions for either their sound or their ethos. The goal was to punish and to that, they are no stranger. Having conquered the Pacific Northwest in relatively quick fashion, the band set out to take on the rest of the world. Fresh off a California run which saw them annihilate Central and Southern California, they were set to head to the Northeast with a run culminating with a performance at This Is Hardcore 2020.
The pandemic had other plans and rather than sit back and wait, Hostilities put together what will be their heaviest release to date. With soul damaging riffs and punishing drums, the quintet has set out to tell the world exactly what they expect of it. “No Cowards,” the forth coming debut LP after freshly minting a deal with Bullet Tooth, will do just that, recognizing the band as a force to be reckoned with for years to come. True to their DIY ethos, the band wrote, tracked and produced the record utilizing only outside help from close friends.
The band is comprised of vocalist Larissa Perrin, guitarist Colton Dodd, drummer Andy Rice and bassist Jeff Neuman. Ready to flip the hardcore scene on its head and kick its teeth in, Hostilities is poised to head out on an uncharted path leaving a road of destruction and chaos in its wake.
See HOSTILITIES live:
Sep 9 – Spokane, WA @ The Big Dipper w/ Regional Justice Center & Greying
Sep 15 – Portland, OR @ Mano Oculta w/ Grudge Match & When The Broken Burn(More dates TBA)
“Hostilities’ name perfectly captures what they sound like – it’s a band of pure unadulterated, pissed-off hardcore. Their riffs are visceral, with drop-tuned chugging breakdowns split between rattling blasts of speed. Vocalist Larissa Perrin brings the package together with her extreme bark that rivals some of the best metal acts around.” – Alternative Press
