Guadalajara’s Flores y Fuego & LA’s Slaughterhouse have released a new split 7”, showcasing some of the best punk rock from both sides of the US-Mexico border! Available for pre-order on vinyl from Pirates Press Records, along with 2 brand new songs apiece, each band is releasing music videos.
| Every once in a while, we are fortunate to discover two elements that just belong together. In underground music, sometimes two creative forces simply need to occupy the same space, the same air…the same piece of wax. The new split 7” between Slaughterhouse and Flores y Fuego is one of those rare moments where two such elements combine in an explosive chemical reaction that is greater than the sum of its parts. Pirates Press Records is ecstatic to present these four new songs from these two incredible bands for the first time on vinyl. |
| Guadalajara hardcore punk powerhouse Flores y Fuego contributes two brand new songs: “Abraza el Fracaso” (“Embrace Failure”) and “Manifiesto Ruin” (“Mean Manifest”). Fans have been clamoring for new music since the release of their shattering debut album Altar, and that feverish anticipation has at last been rewarded here. In the interim, Flores y Fuego’s ferocious live show has made them an in-demand force both at home and abroad, playing shows with a diverse array of bands the likes of Turnstile, Amyl & the Sniffers, Soft Kill, MESS, and more. These songs journey even further into the darker side of punk than their previous work, but fans can rest assured that lead vocalist Melisa’s signature scream is just as relentless & driving as ever! |
On the flip side of the record – and the other side of the border – Slaughterhouse offers up “Poison” & “State of Emergency,” two songs previously only available digitally and as music videos. For the uninitiated, the band have been tearing up the LA scene since 2017 with their ferocious brand of early 80’s death rock infused punk. Undeterred by the pandemic interruption and a handful of lineup changes, Slaughterhouse are back stronger and more fired up than ever!
With a new singer and new songs, the band’s attitude-driven live performances have rabid fans desperate for more. 2024 for Slaughterhouse has included gigs supporting punk rock legends the likes of Bad Religion and Descendents, playing Punk Rock Bowling, and embarking on on their first European tour, including stops at more high profile festivals like Brakrock & Punk Rock Holiday! If you don’t know Slaughterhouse yet, prepare to be blown away when you see what everyone else has been talking about!
A true double A-side, this record only goes from strength to strength. Both bands are powerhouses on their own, and each contributes their own individualistic cover art. Each song complements the others. Any one of them could be a single in its own right, but combined, they make this split 7” one of those aforementioned rare moments of incendiary power.
Pre-orders for the Flores y Fuego / Slaughterhouse split are underway via the Pirates Press Records webstore, and it will be available everywhere August 23rd. Look for copies on 7” Oxblood Vinyl as well as 7” Oxblood Vinyl with Bone Splatter!
