Hoods sign with I Scream Records

Sacramento hardcore band Hoods has signed a worldwide deal with I Scream Records. The band's new album, "Pit Beast," will be available in May. The group has previously released material with Eulogy Recordings and Victory Records, among others. Mike Hood comments: "Fourteen years and we're still here. Still playing Hardcore, still having fun and bringing the mosh. I had no idea when I started Hoods if we would even last a year. With so many ups and many more downs we definitely made our mark. Not only for West Coast Hardcore but all over the world. I live, eat and breathe this music." I Scream founder Laurens Kusters says, "We are excited to join forces with Hoods in the year I Scream Records is celebrating its 15th anniversary. They're one of the hardest working bands out there and a great addition to our roster."
