Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems (White Vinyl)

In case you didn't know: Soul Glo are one of the most exciting, vicious and vital hardcore bands currently making their way through the underground. Their hard work and dedication to their art is paying off as they have just signed to Epitaph and will be releasing their new album "Diaspora Problems" this spring

Philadelphia is a city ripe for recapture by black and brown punk. For more than a decade, there have been entire movements dedicated to promoting the art and music of people on the margins of society

This is where Soul Glo comes in, a band that writes dark, interpersonal lyrics on ancient parchment cut from the skin of hardcore punk's rotting corpse. Their music travels pedal-driven through lush, dense shoe labyrinths and bursts screaming out the other side. Lead singer Pierce Jordan's voice is an unmatched howl that weaves through the band's wiry punk orchestration, providing a truly exhaustive vessel for his trauma-infused lyrics

Since their formation in 2014, Soul Glo has used hardcore punk music as a catalyst to speak about the intersections of gender and race in the American political landscape, as well as the lived experience of Black people. "Soul Glo's lyrics are uncompromising, written to raise awareness about social justice issues, and designed to turn the gaze inward."

Known for their political lyrics on sensitive topics such as gender, race, and the Black experience in America, the band uses their platform to raise awareness about pressing social justice issues. Soul Glo consists of Pierce Jordan (vocals), Ruben Polo (guitar), Gianmarco "GG" Guerra (bass, vocals, programming) and TJ Stevenson (drums).
