Michael Schenker – a heavy rock legend, guitar genius, and a major influence on thousands of guitarists playing today. Here we have the first of three albums commissioned by earMusic, featuring re-recordings of classic UFO tracks with some very special guests.

All the tracks originally appeared on Strangers in the Night, so they’re all pretty familiar.

Southern California pop punk/hardcore blenders Stateside left a big impression when they opened the Koyo, Anxious, One Step Closer tour earlier this year, and now they’ve signed to Pure Noise, which is also home to Koyo (and The Story So Far, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Knocked Loose, Drug Church, and a bunch of others). Their first single for the label is “Thirty Mile Stretch,” which comes on a 7″ (co-released by their former label, New Morality Zine) that also includes the song they put out right before the tour in March, “Since Last Season.” Picking up where that song and their 2023 debut EP It’s What We Do left off, “Thirty Mile Stretch” is a hardcore-infused pop punk bottle rocket in the vein of stuff like New Found Glory, Saves The Day, The Movielife, etc. It also fits in perfectly with the melodic hardcore revival that Koyo, Anxious, and OSC are leading.

Considering how chaotic this band usually is, it’s a welcome surprise to hear them churning out a catchy post-hardcore anthem like this one. And the comparatively simplistic approach helps put Jesse Korman’s lyrics front and center, fitting for a song with a strong, topical message like this one. Jesse says:
