Saigon emo outfit Now or Later move between melody and noise on their new EP, folding pop punk, emo rock, and hardcore into five songs about buried pasts, wounding words, and alienation in crowded rooms. It’s a record that lets its wounds speak without pretending they’ve healed.
Delirio de Cordura holds a frequency ritual. The altar screams, and from underneath, the industrial noise distorts its way up.
Abyss beasts pierce the keel.

On a night of heavy rain, “Thuồng Luồng Đục Xuồng” pulled the crowd into the exact sonic depth its Dark Oceanic Mythpunk concept promised. Thryv opened with metalcore, ROUTE59 made the room erupt, Chân Trời slowed everything down, and Delirio de Cordura dragged the night into industrial noise.
Saigon emo outfit Now or Later team up with m tú on Chỉ Là Lời Nói, a new single that arrives with a music video and a crew list longer than most setlists.
Saigon ska-indie outfit Jaigon Orchestra return with Đi Đi Em, a breakup song that skips the heartbreak and heads straight for the exit. It is a goodbye with zero regrets attached.
The first show of a brand new Um Ba La-backed series “Um Ba Live” featuring Con Cá Điện, Skeleton Goode, and Bedlam Royals.
Another Scene Incubator, a step from a big TEN! 20th of September at Um Ba La was marked a mix of dark wave infused rock with a lot of groovy modern metalcore.
Saigon beatdown hardcore crew District105 have quietly released Bad Dog (Agony Remix), handing one of their own tracks to Los Angeles tearout producer Agony. It is a meeting of the pit and the bass festival, and a first look at a bonus track headed for the band’s upcoming LP.
Saigon emo outfit Now or Later share “Alien,” a track for anyone who has ever performed their way through a room and gone hollow the second the door closed behind them. Featuring US emo-rapper Ded Stark, it’s the first look at upcoming EP “The Other Side of Regret.”
Saigon alternative rock outfit My Broken Society return with “What Are We Now?” — a heavy, atmospheric single about the moment a relationship stops being worth saving. It’s a song about burning bridges as self-preservation rather than destruction, and it carries the weight that idea deserves.
