Sons of Alpha Centauri is a UK/US-based band founded by bassist Nick Hannon and drummer Marlon King all the way back in the early '00s. The band now also includes vocalist Jonah Matranga (Far, Onelinedrawing) and drummer Mitch Wheeler (Will Haven, Ghostride), which we last heard on 2021's Push album.
Bringing to mind the propulsive and soaring sounds of '90s and '00s post-hardcore, Sons of Alpha Centauri are firing on all cylinders these days thanks to their solidified lineup, something they didn't have going into their previous release. The winning results can be heard on the quartet's forthcoming fourth album, Pull.
Pull was recorded by Lance Jackman of Deftones and Joe Johnson at Pus Cavern Studios in Sacramento (Deftones, Dance Gavin Dance), engineered and mixed by Dan Lucas, and mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East Mastering (Cave In, Pelican).
Getting an early jump on things, No Echo is excited to help premiere Pull a day before its official release:
Sons of Alpha Centauri bassist Nick Hannon says the following about the LP:
“We are really proud of the new album and it feels like we’ve matured and evolved into this record. We’ve created more space, depth and emotion on this album, and unlike its predecessor, it has been composed and delivered with a single lineup; that is really captured on this album and we’re immensely proud of what we have created.
"This has gone from a collaboration into a whole new band. We hope that people sense the uniqueness of what we’re doing here and soak it up. We want to reflect on the past and feel a sense of moving into the future with this record. Let Pull pull you in!”
Pull will be out on digitial, LP, and bundled CD via Exile on Mainstream on March 28th (order here).
