The second single from the upcoming STEVE EP is out now!
“LEAVE ME BE” (feat. Owen Perry Weston) dives deep into the underbelly of urban life, exploring the collapse of society and the psychological toll of living in the streets. From sleeping on station benches to navigating coded chaos, the lyrics confront addiction, isolation, and the layers of anger and despair that accumulate when the world turns cold.
We’re also excited to share that the EP will be released on October 16 and the vinyl is now available for pre-order! The A-side features the new “OhCD” EP, while the B-side includes the 2024 “NOT A PERSON” EP, which has never had a physical release until now! The limited silver metallic vinyl is a Labelman exclusive, available only through our Big Cartel.

Excited to welcome Jejune to our roster!
Jejune formed in 1996 at Berklee College of Music, before relocating to San Diego, California. Often labeled “second wave emo”, they created a melancholic blend of indie rock, power pop, punk, and shoegaze.
They toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe, releasing their debut Junk and later This Afternoon’s Malady. Accounts differ on why they eventually split – internal tensions or diverging musical direction – which led to their breakup in 2000 and the posthumous release R.I.P. Their music became hard to find for decades until The Numero Group reissued their catalog in 2025, sparking renewed interest and a 2026 reunion!

Kristin Hersh, who you might know from Throwing Muses, 50FootWave or just her amazing solo work, is coming to Belgium for two shows in October. On October 26, she’ll be playing at De Spil in Roeselare and on October 27 at CCMM in Maasmechelen.
She released her latest solo record, “Clear Pond Road”, in September 2023. The album is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, plush with layers of atonal, edgy-dreamy strings and mellotron.
