Spine Sign To Convulse Records And Release “P.O.C.” Single

Formed in 2011, Kansas City hardcore meets powerviolence band Spine has always played by their own rules. Today the band have announced their signing with Convulse Records for the release of their third full-length, Raíces, that is set for release June 30th. Spine have crafted twelve thoughtful, uncompromising songs that dive into the title’s translation to “roots”, with focuses on identity in culture and one’s self. The album’s lead single single, P.O.C., is a 42-second rager dialing into vocalist Antonio Marquez experiences as a Cuban-American and protecting the voices of marginalized communities. The video for the track shows a live performance from the band blended with vintage footage.

“This is written from the perspective that ‘white’ people always seem to have opinions on issues that don’t and have never affected them. Therefore they tend to try to tell you that your experiences and your history is wrong. They over step into issues taking the voice away from those who need to carry their own causes and should be given visibility. This happens very often with any conflict, not just international. Sit back and listen to our experiences. You’ve either lived it and experienced it or you haven’t.” (Antonio Marquez)
