“Foe: Paid The Price,” the opening track to FRIEND OR FOE‘s crushing third EP, Foe, has been released online below! With a confirmed street date of August 26th through Flatspot Records, the new release drops five new tracks from the Richmond-based act, this week issuing preorder packages alongside the new track. The EP’s previously-released “True” single, featuring guest vocals by Jimmy Williams of MAXIMUM PENALTY, is also playing below
Featuring current/ex-members of Bracewar, Fire & Ice, Iron Boots, and more, FRIEND OR FOE follows-up their 2012-released Know Your Rights EP on Reaper Records/Solid Bond Records and 2014’s Outsider EP on Triple B Records and makes their Flatspot debut with Foe. Packing five new tracks, the new record sees this energetic straightedge hardcore/punk outfit at their best yet, the band’s undeniable NYHC influences coalescing influences from the likes of Breakdown, Sick Of It All, Killing Time, and Agnostic Front with their own hard-hitting style. Foe was recorded in the Winter and Spring months of 2016 at Studio F12 by Sam Deyerle and mastered by Mike Reaves, and features art by Steven Kulesza.
FRIEND OR FOE continues to advance the new release with heavy bouts of touring. Their upcoming shows include a one-off with labelmates Countdown and others in Brick, New Jersey on August 21st, five dates supporting Sick Of It All and Comeback Kid across the East Coast in September – with performances in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, and Clifton Park — and a show with Stigmata and Maximum Penalty on September 23rd in Teaneck, New Jersey.
