YBS 5. Out Now! + New Cassette from the Refectory!

Long time no talk! Make sure you follow us on Instagram and Twitter because those are actually updated a couple times a week. Anyway, some cool things have happened if you haven’t heard:

Your Breath Stinks Vol. 5 - That’s right, a brand new Choke Artist compilation! All brand new/rare tracks. Vinyl is up for sale in the webstore (click here). All of the money made is being donated to the Center for Disease Philanthrophy’s Covid Fund and America’s Food Fund. So go help out xo.

The Refectory - Noise Machine Repeater

Doing our 1st cassette run for CT post-punk band The Refectory! (pre-order here)

Equal parts dissonant and melodic, "Noise Machine Repeater" shows the bands’ dynamic range as they push their own creative boundaries. Ambient riffs stacked with lush vocal harmonies are quickly countered by bludgeoning riffs and harsh screams.⁣ FFO: Faraquet, Bear vs. Shark, Q and Not U⁣.

Thanks <3 - ttyl

DAMN

Damn I haven’t updated this front page in a while! I feel like I’m writing to an aunt I haven’t spoken to in months

Things are going well! I am eating my veggies and practicing music. I am lucky to have my health. We’ve been releasing a ton of great music this year (uhh THE MOST - Of What We Have, SNOOZE - “still” a 4 WAY SCREAMO/CHIPTUNE SPLIT, FLORAL’S NEW LP, CCC- TOURISM)

I’m doing better at posting on social media so follow @chokeartistnj on twitter and instagram and follow us on facebook. Podcasts are back to bi-weekly.

This site will most likely get redone within a couple of months. Hope you’re staying safe the world is so stupid right now!

Snooze "Familiaris" Out Now

If you like pretty/heavy/fun/mathy music this might be the album for you to check out! It’s nice.
Pre-order vinyl here
or new shirts here

I'm Going On Tour

In Angles is hitting the road in two days. If we’re coming to your neck of the woods come say hey. When I get back I’ll have some new releases to announce. In the meantime use the code : BONVOYAGE in our webstore for free shipping.

Secret Spirit Self Titled Out Now <3

Bump it! If you like punk stuff. If you like math rock stuff then come back in a few months cause there’s more of that on the way.

First 6 pre-orders of the new Secret Spirit album will get a free Choke Artist enamel pin. Check it out and follow them on facebook too.

Your Breath Stinks Vol. 4 Out Now

YBS #4 is out now! Tons of great new music from a bunch of unique sounding bands. Download it for free off our bandcamp. 50% of donations we receive will go towards the Best Friends Animal Society. It’s a non-profit animal welfare organization. The other 50% of bandcamp donations we get helps put a (small) dent in the cost of making physical copies.

A few CHK releases are on the horizon, one being a full length for a NH based melodic punk band called Secret Spirit. God damn they are so good. FFO: Lifetime, Shook Ones, The Fad. I’m excited to not put out a math-rock record because I still listen to ska/punk a lot and high energy music is important to me. But don’t worry all you geeks we still got some sick math rock shit on deck.

Anyway, download the comp, subscribe to the podcast, buy merch, let me print your merch, whatever I don’t care just be a good person ok?

Snooze is a good band

That’s right, snooze is a “good ass band” in my book.
5 piece heavy & fun math rock from the Chicago burbs.
I’m super excited to help release their new album on vinyl.
Check out a new single from their album :

Besides that there’s some other things in the works for “Choke Artist” in November.
Check back soon or follow us on fb/insta. Thanks <3.

NO MORE MONDAYS

^Garfield’s dying words

It’s been a while! I’d like to think that sometimes people check this homepage in between endlessly scrolling their social media feeds. If you’re here, thank you.

I play drums for a few bands, one being In Angles. We released a new EP called Shortfalls, and we released a new music video.

Besides that, we just added CDs for the Invalids Fulfillment EP on our webstore. We’re moving out of dad cap season and into beanie season. Hats rule every thing around me.

”Your Breath Stinks Vol.4” is our next compilation. I held off on releasing it because a lot of my friends told me they would have new music ready in September. So the comp will have a bunch of unreleased tunes from bands you hopefully dig. 50% of the donations we get on bandcamp will go towards the “Best Friends Animal Society”, the other 50% will help pay for making physical comps, which get mailed out with any order you place in the webstore.

Thanks for rolling, ttysoon
