The debut full-length from Delaware’s Quickchange!, Loud Quiet Loud, will be released on Impetus Records on June 27.

The first release from the band since their EP Lip Service in 2023, Quickchange! prove their mettle as they present twelve tracks of energy, from the high intensity, potent “Mania”, mixed with softer, more subtle songs such as “Baby” and “Familiar Strangers”. The two sides merge perfectly into an album with a name that couldn’t be more fitting : Loud Quiet Loud.

The album is available for pre-ordeer on both LP and CD at our website and our Bandcamp page.

You can listen to the first track, “Eraser”, on our Bandcamp page (linked in bio).

Introducing Between Two Cities: a punk sampler from the first state. Out 3/14 on CD, Cassette, and all streaming platforms.

Our mission from the start has always been to document the Delaware DIY punk scene. After 7 years, 13 releases, and countless shows, we bring you Between Two Cities: an anthological punk starter-pack featuring 14 previously unreleased songs, live recordings, acoustic tracks, and demos by DE DIY’s finest.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to the punks who donated to make this happen and to the bands who submitted to be a part of this archival endeavor (by the punks, for the punks):
