New PNW-based group, Unarmed have announced their debut EP, It’s Like That, out January 13th via streaming services. The post hardcore tinged effort, comprised of current and former members of It Prevails and American Me, blends elements of their early influences and past projects in a way that feels both fresh and a bit nostalgic. The band worked on the effort with producer Ryan Furlott (It Prevails, MxPx) and was mastered by Mike Kalajian (A Day To Remember, Hopesfall).
The band recently released a video for “Home” from the EP, which can be seen now below.
The band features It Prevails vocalist/bassist Ian Fike, guitarist Therron Francis (It Prevails, Scars of Tomorrow), guitarist Brian Wilson (American Me) and drummer Aaron Marsh (Ex-It Prevails, American Me). It Prevails has released multiple critically praised albums on Rise Records, Mediaskare and Modern Empire Records. American Me, a favorite in the hardcore scene, has released three full lengths on Rise Records over the years. All members of Unarmed have at one point been a member of It Prevails, bringing together longtime friends once again for this exciting new band.
