You Won't Catch Me Sleeping...

Nope, not on this release. Eagerly awaiting the US release for the new album by Japanese hardcore vets Envy titled Insomniac Doze. Just released at the end of May in Japan, it won't see a stateside release until August 22nd which will be put out through Temporary Residence.

For over a decade now, Envy have been releasing some of the most beautiful, while at the same time devastating hardcore music to be found. The band has countless numbers of 7 inches, compilation appearances, and full-lengths under their belt, which brings them up to their newest release Insomniac Doze. Carrying on with their special blend of post-rock influenced hardcore that builds and tears down musical compositions with the best of them. The intensity and emotion captured through Envy's music is something that just has to be heard, and apparently the live show is even more balls out, which would surely be something to witness judging by the studio material. Regardless, the band has surely established themselves with each release as an amazingly talented band. If not, I have no doubt that Insomniac Doze will win over even more fans. This is a band that has gave its all over the years and still hasn't let up one bit.
