Take Offense sign with Pure Noise Records, announce new LP

Official press release: Chula Vista, California's hardcore band Take Offense have signed to Pure Noise Records for the release of their third full-length album, Keep An Eye Out, due out on October 18th. Pre-order for the album is available. "We couldn't be happier with the Pure Noise team. It's always a great thing to be working with people that have that drive, vision, and passion. Not once did we feel pressure to 'be' or 'sound' a certain way. They respect us, and want us to make the record we want to make. You can't ask for more in any label situation," says the band. The title track from Keep An Eye Out sets the tone for the entire record, as it gives a head nod to their peers in Sick Of It All and Municipal Waste, with whom they are touring the US next month. Stream "Keep An Eye Out" here: "I won't sugarcoat it, this record was extremely challenging on all of us. The bar was definitely set high for what we could do as musicians, but it wasn't forced. There is always a form of progression between our records and with 'Keep An Eye Out' it comes 6 years after our last album, 'United States of Mind'. In that time, the band has gone through every up and down you can think of. We've grown older as people, as musicians, as band mates, and as friends. Not once did I stop writing riffs in that time period. This is the band pushing it self as hard as it can, while firing on all creative cylinders," says lead guitarist Greg Cerwonka. Keep An Eye Out track listing: 01. Keep An Eye Out 02. Hidden In Plain Sight 03. Internalized 04. Awake In A Dream 05. Above No One 06. Zoned In 07. Guilt Free 08. Caught Between Nothing 09. Reap What You Sew 10. The Consequence

"I won't sugarcoat it, this record was extremely challenging on all of us. A lot of us had to get 2-3 straight shifts at Whole Foods covered for these recording sessions, and the bus route doesn't go anywhere near the recording studio."

I stopped reading after "Chula Vista Hardcore."

This band was hyped for like 2 months in like 2013. A bit late on the timing there, pure noise.

Pure Noise Records is where bands go to die, might have well signed with We Ate Triumphant

anonymous 9/18/2019 5:23:09 PM

We don't need a new Underdog album

anonymous 9/18/2019 10:40:12 PM

Way better production than that trash ass No Victory/Purgatory split. Can anyone confirm was that recorded on sesame street in Oscar the Grouch's garbage can?

anonymous 9/19/2019 4:40:21 AM

Females who use the hashtag #girlswhopowerlift and post semi nudes aka their trendy underboob tattoo then screenshot when dudes creep into their DMs and post anti male rhetoric on the gram are stoked for this.

Way better production than that trash ass No Victory/Purgatory split. Can anyone confirm was that recorded on sesame street in Oscar the Grouch's garbage can? Confirmed. Oscar rented it out at $16/hour
