Seems like lately there has just been an unlimited amount of new music from bands who are playing Dumb Fest this upcoming weekend! Today we are bringing you the long-awaited 5-track self-titled EP from Springfield groove-punk band Moondead. The EP features previously released track “Moon” and four other goodies. You can find that streaming below, or also head over to the band’s bandcamp page where you can download the songs at your own price.

Moondead will be playing Saturday, the main day of Dumb Fest. According to our official schedule, they are set to go on sometime around 6:15. Check out our Dumb Fest 4-Ever page for more Dumb Fest info right here.

It’s the second day in a row we are coming at you with a hard-hitting Springfield release, this one coming from the surf-infused punk band The Suction Cups which started up late last year. The Suction Cups feature members of Ragna Rye, Bad Banshee, and Fel Fae and this is their first release entitled Do They Walk Among Us?. You can stream the eight-track release on the player below or head over to the band’s bandcamp page where you can download the whole thing for $6.66. This was also one of the last few releases recorded by Brandon Carnes up in South Town Studio before he left town and moved to Pittsburg.

The Suction Cups will be playing in town next at Dumb Fest 4-Ever for the early show on day 3 of the fest at Black Sheep, Sunday June 12th. Catch them at 11:00 am, the earliest any band has ever played at Black Sheep.

Alright, sorry we’ve been a little lacking in the news here at Black Sheep / Dumb headquarters the past few days, it’s time for us to jump back into action! What a better way to do that than with this rocket fuel-infused new six-track EP from Springfield punk band Say Something. The band’s newest release, Black Coffee Black Cats was one of the last things recorded by Brandon Carnes up in South Town Studio before he left for Pittsburg. You can stream the release on the player below or head over to the band’s bandcamp page where you can download the EP at your own price.

Say Something currently do not have any shows lined up, but we will be sure to let you know when they do.

With F///\\\M playing a final show inside Dumb Records at 7:00 pm tonight, the solo project of Brandon Carnes has decided to record one final 3-song release, being called the I Love You Project. The second track of the three “I Love You” features audio clips of many different phone calls Brandon collected of different people saying “I love you.” You can stream the full EP below, or also head over to the F///\\\M bandcamp page to download the songs at your own price.

F///\\\M will be playing one final show inside Dumb Records tonight at 7:00 pm along with Gutterpriest. For those of you who do not know, Brandon is also planning on moving out of Springfield and to Pittsburg next month, which unfortunately means the end of South Town Studio. The show tonight is free so come out!

Here’s yet another demo coming out of the Ooey Gooey roster this time from the band Dry Heave. Dry Heave is more Champaign/Urbana-based than Springfield, but features Mario Cannamela (Springfield native) of bands Soap Scum, Livin’ Thing, Wir Können, etc. Also this release is being put out by local label Ooey Gooey tapes on cassette so we felt it is more than worth mentioning! This is also the fourth release Ooey Gooey is involved in putting out this year, wow! You can find Designer Skin by Dry Heave streaming on the player below. Also head over to the release on bandcamp to download at your own price.

Dry Heave will be performing next at Black Sheep on Sunday, March 27th (Easter Day) along with Looming and Our Lady for a show we haven’t gotten a post up for yet! (It’s coming soon)! Find an event for that one right here.

Normally we do not post about releases from bands outside of Springfield here on our site, but after a call and a talk with the wolf we feel that it is necessary to tell you about the newest release from Champaign/Urbana band Wolf Luv. This second demo, Fighting My Future is being released by Springfield-based cassette label Ooey Gooey Tapes, and the release show was also here at Black Sheep a little over one week ago. Because of that, we feel the release is very much worth mentioning. You can stream that 5-track tape below, or head over to the Ooey Gooey bandcamp page where you can download the release at your own price.

Wolf Luv do not have any shows lined up in Springfield at the moment. Check out the Ooey Gooey bandcamp page for other tapes recently put out by the label.

It looks like Springfield metalcore band Kharybdis are back in action and have released a brand new 6 track EP entitled Era of Deception online. You can stream the six-track EP on the player below. The EP can also be purchased for download on Karybdis’s bandcamp page. From the band’s bandcamp page:

We traveled to Cleveland, Ohio with only 9 days in total to record this EP, may or may not re-release in the future with better mix. This is was each of our first times in a studio and also our first release as a band. Some may recognize a few of the songs as we have been playing them for 3 years now! Thanks for listening! Share with your friends, spread the word!

It does not look like Kharybdis has any live shows lined up right now, but we will be sure to keep you all updated on any Black Sheep shows in the near future!
