braidedveins releasing debut EP (stream a track)

by Andrew Sacher

braidedveins

braidedveins is a punk side project from Flint, MI featuring members of bluesy crew Empty Orchestra, the drummer of pop punk band The Swellers, and others. Making a departure from the sounds of their main groups, braidedveins make abrasive hardcore in the vein of Blacklisted, The Suicide File, and The Bronx. And while this might technically be a side project, the band don’t sound like they’re just messin’ around. They’ve got big riffs, cutthroat vocals, and a genuine sound that honors its influences but still pushes the genre forward.

braidedveins’ debut EP, Future/Forever comes out via Save Your Generation Records on December 10 (pre-order), and one of its tracks, “On the Limits of Tomorrow,” now makes its premiere in this post. Check it out, along with another EP track “The Nature Cruise of the Century!,” artwork and tracklisting, below.

braidedveins don’t have any upcoming dates at the moment except for a hometown show at Flint Local 432 on 12/21, but The Swellers have a fall tour coming up, including a run with Candy Hearts that hits NYC for a previously discussed show on October 25 at The Studio at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
