SE VENDE + New Noise

 

Today, New Noise Magazine premiered Se Vende's Bridge City Sessions, a live performance recorded in studio. They have also announced a split 7" release with band No Stones.


Formed in 2010 by guitarists Jonny Cuz and Collin Smith, Se Vende released their first album, Pour Me… Some Coffee, in 2013. The intervening years were marked by drug use and jail time that prevented the band from exploring its full potential. Now focused and with the addition of Ono Senteno on drums, Se Vende delivers dirty, crusty pop punk in San Diego, CA-- a raw sound that is tight, without too much of the glossiness that can risk sterilizing emotions. In 2018, the band was approached by Tony Hawk to have one of their tracks, “Positivity 101,” featured on the soundtrack of his video game, Tony Hawk’s Skate Jam. Their live shows make fans out of even the most jaded observer with infectious energy and brutal honesty bleeding through. Lyrically, Se Vende covers the continuum of the human experience, from hopeless drug addiction to hope for the future, without romanticizing either. They simply state the facts and encapsulate both the desperation and optimism that make up their own stories. By day, founding members Jonny Cuz and Collin run their own print shop, which in the past year has also functioned as a DIY venue for the punk community in San Diego. On October 29th of this year, the band will be traveling to Gainesville, FL to perform at Fest.

This  7" ep. vinyl split with No Stones was printed in Tucson, AZ. Edition of 500 limited vinyl, black and white split colored. Sleeves are printed black on black, to be released August 14th. Preorder, here.
