The members of SPACED refuse to fall into the pit of despair that is felt around the world when writing their upcoming No Escape, the Buffalo, NY band’s new EP and first release for Pure Noise Records.

Vocalist Lexi Reyngoudt referenced Terror‘s Scott Vogel, saying

“He’s always said that hardcore is this positive aggression,” explains Reyngoudt, “and that’s what No Escape feels like to me. Like, yeah, we’re angry, but we’re putting it into something that we feel is positive.”

Recorded and mixed by producer Jay Zubricky (Every Time I Die, Terror, Age of Apocalypse) at his Buffalo studio, No Escape takes SPACED’s self-described “far-out hardcore” sound and pushes it even further. The EP’s five songs are as vibrant as they are heavy, packed with stomping riffs and streaks of psychedelic guitar textures.

“Our sound adds elements of psych and shoegaze to the ethos and foundation of hardcore without diluting it,” explains Morganti. “We all have eclectic tastes and keep various sounds in mind that might work within our space. Bands like The Chameleons, Swervedriver, My Bloody Valentine, influence us even if that ends up being a small fraction of our overall sound. There’s plenty of pure guitar rippers I love but I’m also drawn to a lot of guitar work from people like Kevin Shields and Lee Renaldo.”

Reyngoudt adds, “We always wanted to fuck with the boundaries of hardcore so we would stand out from the everybody else.”
