Heartworm Press is honored to announce the signing of poet Sonny Hall for his forthcoming collection Double Double, arriving in early 2026.

Sonny Hall, 27, began writing poetry at 17 as a way to confront addiction and loss with unfiltered honesty. His debut collection The Blues Comes With Good News was self-published in 2019 before being reissued by Hodder & Stoughton, establishing him as one of the most distinctive new voices in British poetry. His work, often written without punctuation or strict form, captures both the chaos and humor of recovery, identity, and love, drawing deeply from his experiences growing up in London and the death of his mother.

In 2021, Hall co-founded the independent publisher Blue Beggar Books to champion emerging poets worldwide, followed by his 2024 publication On The Soft Edge with Yves Saint Laurent Rive Droite. He has spoken multiple times at the University of Cambridge and other literary institutions, reflecting his growing presence as both a poet and speaker engaged in contemporary literary discourse. His evolving work continues to explore the tension between confession and form, what he calls “finding order in a lawless playground.” Alongside Double Double, Hall is set to release a major multi-medium collaboration with photographer Nick Knight CBE in 2026, encompassing film, text, and visual works.

Stay tuned for details on the forthcoming Heartworm publication.

Heartworm Press is proud to announce the signing of Buzz Kull, the project of Sydney-based musician Marc Dwyer.

Since 2012, Buzz Kull has stood as a defining presence in the international underground, creating a sound that unites precision, atmosphere, and emotional gravity. His work moves between intensity and restraint, built on repetition, texture, and control. Buzz Kull’s music reflects the pulse of the modern city, haunted and immediate, driven by rhythm and the suggestion of something beyond reach.

He has released three full-length albums including Chroma (2017), New Kind of Cross (2018), and Fascination (2022), along with numerous singles and remixes that trace the evolution of his sound. His work continues to refine and expand the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

We are honored to join forces with an artist whose vision continues to shape and define the landscape of modern sound. Stay tuned for news on forthcoming releases and collaborations.

American Nightmare’s legendary Year One collection on 180 gram vinyl for its 25th anniversary.

Originally released in 2001, the Boston hardcore band’s 25th anniversary release of Year One pays tribute to their formative years. This collection unites their first two 7”s, originally released by Bridge 9 Records founder and then-roommate Chris Wrenn, on a 180-gram LP, with all tracks recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City. Originally designed by Jake Bannon (Converge), this edition has been reimagined by Del Jae (Futurismo Records) and Wesley Eisold, and comes packaged in a gatefold with an insert of handwritten lyrics and collaged images.

Year One doesn’t just celebrate a milestone; it reaffirms American Nightmare’s enduring legacy. Their music raised the bar for emotional depth in hardcore, adding a distinctly poetic and existential lyrical approach that set them apart and changed the rules of the scene, paving the way for countless bands that followed. The result was something harder, darker, and more emotionally resonant than anything the scene had yet produced. They pushed hardcore into uncharted territory, borrowing influences from youth crew, street punk, and even the aesthetics of the late-’90s mod revival and Britpop cultures. The fusion created a new blueprint—fast, traditional hardcore delivered with dire, venomous lyrics that demanded a visceral crowd response. Their impact was immediate, and their influence continues to reverberate.

Statue of Heaven is a new hardcore project from Wesley Eisold that channels the same urgency as American Nightmare and Some Girls, but with a stripped-back, colder tone. Hung From Rope... delivers seven tracks of raw, blackened hardcore, pairing minimal, poetic lyrics with musical influences drawn from 80s punk and mid-90s metallic hardcore. The record explores sanctity and purity against the backdrop of a dystopian, existential present haunted by a moral void.

This release includes the four songs from the demo cassette plus three new tracks.
Available on limited edition white marble vinyl with a zine insert of handwritten lyrics & images.

The modern world is a shrine to death
Spirit imprisoned til there’s nothing left
Disguised as progression and sold off as virtue 
The prison of sadness will never desert you

Wesley Eisold’s Cigarette Magazine Issue 3 continues the series as a visual archive of subcultures that rarely shared space but always shared a spirit. It collects fragments from scenes that too often passed each other by: punks, goths, mods, hardcore kids, and others who lived on the edges. Every page is a kind of daydream. This issue brings them together in one imagined document.
