No Cure has announced that they have signed to SharpTone Records, where they will be releasing their brand new EP I Hope I Die Here on December 6th, 2024. You can click here to pre-order.
Additionally, the band has unveiled the EP’s first single, “Don’t Need Your Help”, which features Jesse Clark of Wielded Steel and Nick Chance of Beautiful Child of God. Each song on the EP will feature a guest, including Daniel McWhorter (Gideon), Kayhan Vaziri (Wreteched Blessing + Yautja), Matthew Hasting (MyChildren MyBride), and more.
In a press release announcing the signing, EP and new song, the band stated the following:
"Every track features someone that has made an undeniable mark on Alabama hardcore over the years. We do not expect you to recognize every name on this record, and that's the point."
Vocalist Blake Steuer continued:
"'Don't Need Your Help' is about my touring experience throughout the country, and learning that many people still view the Southeast through a lens of negativity. The meaning behind the song is broad, in the sense that it certainly acknowledges the painful past of the region. But it also makes clear that it doesn't help anyone to continue shitting on the current people here that only want to make it a better place for everyone."
In regards to the dual feature:
"It was critically important to me to have two of my closest friends sing on this song. The first being Nick Chance (Beautiful Child of God), and also Jesse Clark (Wielded Steel). Both of them have shared these kinds of experiences as well. Overall, it is an extremely overstimulating and hard-hitting track, and I can't wait to rip it live."
On the EP as a whole, the band stated the following:
"I Hope I Die Here is a love letter to Alabama and the Southeastern experience. It is an acknowledgment of suffering, and a proclamation of strength. This record is conceptually driven and more musically diverse than our previous EPs, on purpose. There is a distinct reason for each song to exist. We approach many topics, including what it's like to grow up under the boot of religion, fraternity culture, the dark side of a beloved landmark, local ecological exploitation, and more. We do not believe the world needs any more songs about how craaaaaazyyy of a guy you are, how much you hate your town, or how your ex was such a *checks notes* bitch for breaking up with you because you cheated on her."
