two new releases on Sorry State up for pre-order

Fugitive Bubble: What Will Happen If We Stop 12" (Sorry State Records) What Will Happen If We Stop is the second album from Olympia, Washington’s Fugitive Bubble. If you heard Fugitive Bubble’s first record for Sorry State, 2024’s Delusion, you won’t be surprised by the creative restlessness the band displays on their new record. While the core of Fugitive Bubble’s high-energy art punk style carries forward from Delusion, What Will Happen If We Stop expands and upgrades their sound. Harley’s vocals are recorded more clearly and delivered with even more power and authority. New drummer Typhoid Mary—whom you may know from their other band Physique—plays at even more blistering tempos, frequently laying down jaw-on-the-floor moments of percussive pyrotechnics. Fugitive Bubble’s songwriting has also grown more expansive and ambitious. On first listen, the speed and melody will floor you, but as your ear untangles these songs, you’ll notice how dense they are with ideas, each one overflowing with cool parts that flow seamlessly from one to the next. Other new wrinkles include sprinkles of acid country guitar a la Meat Puppets, the climactic CCR-ish rave-up “Ego Drip,” the two-part piano piece “Demodex in Situ,” and “Your Loyalty to the Flag Lies Beneath My Boot,” the solo guitar piece that ends the record on a meditative note. Throughout these twists and turns, Fugitive Bubble proves it’s still possible to make punk rock that’s politically relevant and musically ambitious without losing sight of the youthful energy at the genre’s core.

Plasma: Mua Et Voi Omistaa 12" (Sorry State Records) Sorry State is proud to present Mua Et Voi Omistaa, the debut vinyl from Helsinki, Finland’s Plasma, released in partnership with Nunchakapunk Records in Finland and Little Jan’s Hammer Records in Spain. Plasma carries forward the power, ferocity, and craftsmanship that has been Finnish punk’s calling card since the genre’s inception, fusing it with the bouncy energy and razor-sharp execution of modern hardcore punk. Songs like “Mata Pilvilinna,” “Satkynukke,” and “Mua Et Voi Omistaa” are full-bore, punk-as-fuck attacks, but the intensity belies how dialed-in everything is: the insanely catchy bass lines, the way the drummer perfectly balances building tension with eruptions of energy, the guitarist’s furious downpicking, and the vocalist’s ability to weave melody into a confrontational punk snarl. Meeting the high bar for musicianship set by contemporary Finnish groups like Kohti Tuhoa, Yleiset Syyt, and Foreseen, Plasma really shines on “uptempo mid-tempo” songs like “Ei Oikeutta” and “Syvemmalle Sisaan” that evoke (and will surely inspire) heaving masses of writhing, sweaty punk bodies. For what seems on the surface like a monolithic blast of punk fury, Mua Et Voi Omistaa is a varied, layered masterpiece of hardcore craftsmanship that sinks its hooks in quickly and refuses to let go.
