Baltimore hardcore supergroup Angel Du$t became a Band To Watch back in 2016 after the release of their supercharged sophomore LP Rock The Fuck On Forever. Today, the five-piece is back to announce their signing to Roadrunner Records, and in celebration, they’re sharing two new surprise singles.

Angel Du$t’s ripping hardcore seems to have emerged even more melodic and sober in 2018. “Big Ass Love” is still loud and fast, hurling forward with layers of percussion and a chunking acoustic guitar. Yet it’s brighter, even cheery. They’ve dropped the fuzz, and Justice Tripp’s lyrics lean into love.

“Take Away The Pain” is enchanting and exposed. It’s sugary hardcore with an excellent dose of saxophone. The single art resurrects their usual jocular humor though, calling back to their 2016 “Headstone” music video about three horny dogs.

Listen to both tracks below. And while you’re at it, check out Angel Du$t’s tour dates alongside Every Time I Die, Turnstile, and Vein.
