Incendiary Device Announce Self Titled Debut Album & Share Title Track

Bridge Nine Records have announced that New York’s Incendiary Device will release their self titled debut album on November 10th. Incendiary Device‘s music is steeped in early hardcore and classic punk while inescapably maintaining the edge and grit of their New York roots. Heavily influenced by Minor Threat, Negative Approach, SSD and early Black Flag, the band’s members have played and toured together for over a decade in several New York-based bands including Antidote, The High & The Mighty and Drew Stone Hit Squad. Started in 2022, today the band share their first recorded music with the album’s punchy title track, a song that packs old-school character with electrifying guitars that is accompanied by a fiery performance video.

“Incendiary Device is about the toxic nature of social media. Lyrically it uses the analogy between a weapon of war and social media as a social weapon. An incendiary device on the battlefield is not a precision weapon, innocent bystanders in the blast range become victims. Social media has the same effect. People spew hateful rhetoric from their phones and computers and sometimes extremely kind and genuine individuals get caught in the blast range. This song was inspired by a specific incident where an innocuous friend of ours became one of those targets.” (bassist Tristan D’Graves)

Incendiary Device‘s self-titled album will feature a dozen tracks that capture the energy and rage of NYHC with hook-laden songwriting sensibility. Thematically it focuses largely on the dichotomy between maintaining a youthful spirit at heart with the realities of being middle-aged in a technology-focused world. The album is self-produced, primarily by D’Graves and vocalist Drew Stone with engineering by Brian DiMeglio at Found Soundation Studios in Brooklyn, NY and mixing by Dan Korneff and Neal “Zum” Osteberg.

Incendiary Device has toured nationally and shared the stage with bands including Biohazard, Madball, Sheer Terror and Gogol Bordello. The band have now announced a record release show on November 12th at NYC’s Bowery Electric with Rebelmatic, The Krays, Cortisol and Pembroke as part of the club’s long-running free Sunday Matinee series
