The label has announced plans to issue their latest EP ‘Source Of Suffering’on vinyl for the first time. Pre-orders will launch shortly. Stay tuned for more information.

Emerging from the heart of the South Bay’s vibrant and storied punk rock scene, One Square Miles’ latest offering, ‘Source of Suffering’, produced by Cameron Webb, serves as a captivating successor to their 2018 debut LP, ‘The System’. The new EP marks a bold sonic departure, while simultaneously remaining true to the region’s rich punk rock heritage.

One Square Mile was formed in Hermosa Beach, California in 2017. The band’s name originates from the city of Hermosa Beach, which covers about…wait for it: One square mile of land.

We found ourselves a good listening spot and dove in head first into “Source Of Suffering “ from One Square Mile

The first thing that is crystal clear about One Square Mile, is that Vanessa Kaylor Philips, vocals, Terry Davidson, drums, Todd King , bass and John McCree, guitar are a group of masterclass level musicians that form an amazing, unstoppable musical unit.

The first track “Revisions Of Truth” feels like a jolt of lighting , Vanessa Kaylor Philips is an impressive and versatile vocalist and she absolutely shines on the opening track.

The second track, “Remove You “ is a fast moving track that features epic guitar licks couple with thunderous drums that you can feel in your soul.

“Dead In The Sun” really shows off the tight groove of One Square Mile, they play off each other perfectly . We could help but tap along to “Dead In The Sun”

“One Way” comes at you fast and furious, flawless vocals one again coupled with masterful guitars and bass make this song an absolute treat .

The final track “Sludge” has a wicked low end bass sound that is absolutely phenomenal. “Sludge” has this like bluesy /rock sound that is just freaking perfect .

One Square Mile is the kind of band that stays in your soul long after the music stops. We have a feeling that they are just getting warmed up and we can not wait to see what they do next. The band will be heading out on an Australian Tour beginning in April, before returning home in May. Details below
