I've been peripherally aware of three-piece VICTOR SHORES for about a decade at this point, through their connections with The Reptilian and Tiny Moving Parts. But it wasn't until Nate from No Funeral asked if I wanted to co-release this new album with Tomb Tree doing some tapes and No Funeral doing the 12"s. I was kinda like "sweet I finally have an excuse to check them out and I've just been sent a bunch of songs to jam", but hooooooly moly did those 9 tracks lay their hooks in me...forever. I'm fucking obsessed. If you like "heavy emo punk" or "twinkle emo skate punk no twinkle" (definitely a genre, definitely) you should be all over this new, self-titled album, for it is truly something to behold.
It was truly a friendly conversation and it felt like we'd known each other for a long time. We talked about a ton of stuff including but not limited to: patience through Covid, the No Funeral connection, brothers over bandmates, a large Reset/Simple Plan tangent, what everyone was doing before Victor Shores and how they all met up, the band's first drummer, a Hot Cross tangent, the band's decade-long progression, David can record/mix/master, Bryce can hot sauce your face, Donnie's t-shirt/print/embroidery shop, writing the new record, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Algorillathym, Keratin, The Plan, Prize The Doubt, Sincere Engineer, and Why?.
