Rochester-based melodic hardcore/punk act Such Gold is set to release their debut studio album, Misadventures, in Australasia on September 14th, hot on the heals of the announcement they’ll return to Australia for Soundwave 2013!
The album was produced by Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Saves The Day, Lifetime, The Dillinger Escape Plan).
Such Gold is currently featured in Alternative Press’ 100 Bands You Need To Know, who recently premiered “Storyteller,” the first listen off the new album, via their Free 100 Bands You Need To Know Mixtape. “Storyteller” is available for streaming here: http://soundcloud.com/…/storyteller.
Such Gold formed in 2009 and have reaped the rewards of their tireless efforts by releasing two EPs, Stand Tall (2009, Mightier Than Sword Records) and Pedestals (2010, 6131 Records). The band also released music on a split EP with Into It. Over It., and released an additional EP with A Loss For Words this past November.
Fans of Such Gold have been attracted to the band’s pop-punk stylings as the young group marries their love for old school pop-punk, hardcore and indie rock.
Alternative Press has raved about the bands’ music, “a pitch-perfect, gimmick-free example of how solid the melodic hardcore-influenced pop-punk sound could really be when imbued with an indelible enthusiasm and adolescent passion” and proclaiming the songs are “breathtaking” and “leaving one wanting more.” The band has toured with The Wonder Years, We Are The Union, A Loss For Words, Man Overboard, Polar Bear Club, Fireworks, Balance and Composure, Rust Belt Lights, Maker, Kills and Thrills, etc. Such Gold is Ben Kotin (vocals), Nate Derby (guitar), Skylar Sarkis (guitar/vocals) and Devan Bentley (drums).
