Sponsor: Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club Release New Caps

Cap

This week’s sponsor is near and dear to my heart.

Let me introduce you to the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club from Australia and the two new baseball caps that are now up for sale. And, to learn even more about them, here’s an introduction in their own words:

We’re the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club, the Little Baseball Club That Could. Based in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, we’re a small amateur not-for-profit baseball club that focuses on growing baseball through socially enjoyable games rather than highly-competitive coaching. Half of our players had never played baseball before, but they’ve fallen in love with it.

Because we are the Little Baseball Club That Could, we sometimes do fun and audacious things that usually only the big clubs do, like creating highlight videos and designing New Era caps. We’ve had two 59FIFTY caps created, one with our on-field cap logo, and the other celebrating our mascot Quack Daniels, which we are selling through our website.

The team was founded in 2018 by a longtime AbsolutePunk and Chorus reader, and if you’d like to know more, you can follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

Sponsor: Post/War Release New Album

Postwar

Post/War battle growing pains and the isolation of youth in their debut LP, Violet Light and a Hum, which is now streaming on all platforms. Violet Light and a Hum is an album that catalogs early adulthood’s experiences, the loss of love, lack of security, and the value of having people in your life. It’s inspired by the sad and aggressive music they were exposed to as teenagers, and the sound is a blend of indie alt-rock and the greatest hits of the Hot Topic t-shirt era. With heavy hitting nostalgia and catharsis, Post/War makes a grand entrance screaming their poignant refrain: you are nothing without the people you love.

RIYL: Citizen, Teenage Wrist, Thrice

Sponsor: Cadigan Release New Album

Cadigan

Cadigan, from San Francisco, California, just released their debut album, Be Present, Want Nothing, on Bandcamp. The album is ten tracks about adjusting. Making the transition from “kid” to “adult.” Trying to become the person you want to be. Friendships that come and go. Learning the difference between love and chemical fleeting moments. Taking inventory and appreciating the good things. Navigating the uncertainty of our current reality.

Along with the digital release the band have also released a limited run of vinyl.

Sponsor: Chase Tremaine Releases New Album

Chase Tremaine

Longtime Chorus.fm supporter Chase Tremaine is back with his sophomore album, Development & Compromise.  This new set sees the Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist pushing the emo-pop of his debut album Unfall in new directions, pulling from punk, prog, and jazz, resulting in twelve tracks that are as fun and catchy as they are raw and introspective. The album has received favorable comparisons from Chorus users to the likes of Thrice, The Dear Hunter, Mae, and Mew. Development & Compromise is now available wherever you stream music. Also, if you purchase the album on Bandcamp for only $6, you will be mailed a CD copy of the album and you will be contributing to Chase’s crowdfunding goal for a limited run of vinyl. (If the funding goal is met, everyone who made a Bandcamp purchase will also receive a discount code for the vinyl record.)

Sponsor: My Thanks to American Thrills

American Thrills

American Thrills are a punk rock band from Connecticut featuring members of The Tired and True (Eulogy Records) and Shut up and Deal. Founded in early 2020, during a pandemic the band came together to write their debut self-titled EP. The EP was engineered by Nick Bellmore (Make Do and Mend, Hatebreed) and mixed and mastered by John Naclerio (Brand New, Bayside). The band’s unique blend of upbeat punk rock with hooks for days, and a sprinkle of Midwest emo, caught the attention of New School Records (No Trigger, Twenty2), and the new EP is out now.

Also, the band have now released the album on vinyl.
