Richmond Virginia based FRIEND OR FOE has hooked up with Flatspot Records for the release of their newly completed Foe EP this August.
Following FRIEND OR FOE‘s 2012 Know Your Rights EP on Reaper Records/Solid Bond Records and 2014 Outsider EP on Triple B Records, Foe sees the straightedge Hardcore/Punk outfit at their best yet. Packing five new tracks onto their third EP, the band’s undeniable NYHC influences see the band delivering coalescing the inspiration of Breakdown, Sick Of It All, Killing Time, Agnostic Front and the like with their own hard-hitting, energetic flow. Foe was recorded in the Winter and Spring months of 2016 at Studio F12 by Sam Deyerle and mastered by Mike Reaves and features art by Steven Kulesza.
Flatspot Records will release FRIEND OR FOE‘s Foe EP on August 18th and the label will issue a limited, pre-release cassette single on July 6th, bearing an advance of the track, “True —” which features guest vocals by Jimmy Williams of Maximum Penalty – as well as an exclusive non-EP demo track on the B-side called “Invincible.”
