Anthemic punk band Stoke Signals has announced their debut album, Make Dying Fun, coming Sept. 20. The band formed following the breakups of Promise Me This and Holy Fangs.

Vocalist Giuliano Messina tells us:

Mike and I were briefly in a band called Holy Fangs, so that's where the name comes from.

You can only write good music if you power through and even appreciate all the shitty music you wrote first.

Make Dying Fun
Independent (2024)

Stoke Signals are an emo-punk hybrid. The band bears most of the marks of the midtempo, singalong gruff-vocal punk I enjoy. But with some song structure and lyrical patterns of the far more popular emo-rock style that took off some 20 years ago. And: live by emo, die by emo. It’s a genre that puts the lyrics front and center … Read more
