Buffalo, NY hardcore upstarts, SPACED, recently joined the Pure Noise Records roster and announced their upcoming EP, No Escape, due out 17th October 2025. Today they’re back with another new single, the hard-charging “Pressure.”
No Escape‘s five songs are packed with stomping riffs and psych-tinged aggression that offer a perfect introduction to SPACED‘s unique brand of self-proclaimed “far out hardcore” and “Pressure” showcases both the swirling textures and eye-bulging ferocity that define the group. The song follows lead single “Cause and Effect” (which garnered attention from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Revolver Magazine, and more) and packs a serious punch of phased-out guitars and groove-laden breakdowns.
Vocalist Lexi Reyngoudt’s discussed the new song, calling it, “A karmic story/cautionary tale that if you tempt the fates, the universe is going to come back at you. Sometimes these people don’t get found out right away. So if the universe is taking too long with a person like this in your life, listen to this song. The track is us talking back to the people who try to hold us down. The lyrics are repetitive, but that’s what the feeling of pressure is: constantly feeling like something is weighing you down.”
