Ben Quad has announced that they’ve inked a deal with Pure Noise Records and they’ve released their label debut single, “You’ll Get Nothing And Like It.” “It’s a song about the financial institutions created to keep us in a cycle of debt and dependency,” the band shares in a press release. “The track’s spoken line ‘You were made to throw away’ announces the main theme of the forthcoming record. We are disposable in the eyes of our protectors. Each of us is an ephemera (an item created purely to be used for a short time).” The punchy track, clocking in… Read more »

The tour is to support his self-titled independent release, which arrived last spring. Illenium’s exploration into the alt scene isn’t unheard of. From First To Lasts’ Sonny Moore ventured into dubstep in the early 2000s, which kicked off the blurring of genres and the possibility of experimenting with different sounds.
