Kiss of Death Records

Bristol, UK’s CAVES and Richmond, Virginia’s SUNDIALS have just released their split EP of brand new material! In honor of the official release, we have posted a track from each band on our Bandcamp page to download for absolutely FREE! You can now check out the CAVES song “Desperate Times” or the SUNDIALS track “Viking Funeral” at your leisure without paying a dime! If you like what you hear, the split 7″ is now available for purchase in the KOD STORE. The two bands just recently wrapped up a UK tour together, but that doesn’t mean they are taking a break any time soon. Both bands have shows in the not-so-distant future (listed below) and Sundials are already hard at work writing for their sophomore full-length.

CAVES
“This Bristol, UK punk-pop trio are often compared to bands such as Discount and Lemuria and it’s no surprise why. They play a brand of punk that is infused with pop, lacks overly hard edges (not a criticism) and all are/were fronted by a female. In the case of Caves, the female is Louise Hanman, who also plays guitar, backed up by a particularly tight rhythm section of Dave Brent on drums and Jonathan Minto on bass.” – Punknews.org
