“Some trends die; emo is forever.”

Northwest Arkansas’ own Always Tired will drop a vinyl version of their album, “Contact Sports,” on Feb. 2 via Overdue Collection Agency. The album features singles “the weather channel,” a catchy short track about an absent parent, and “teeth,” which reminisces about a former friend. The release is limited to 550 copies on transparent red vinyl with a lyrics sheet. The A-side has six original studio tracks, and the B-Side features live versions of those same tracks in order.

The band recorded the album and live footage with lead guitarist Parker Bradford, bassist Kyle Kaminski and drummer JRD handling various audio and video production aspects.

Overdue Collection Agency donates a portion of profits to charity and mutual aid groups. Always Tired is excited to announce that 25% of all profits will go to the trans resilience group Intransitive in Arkansas.

While demoing and recording their debut album, the emocore band has been busy self-booking tours throughout the Midwest. They’ve been able to open for artists such as Titus Andronicus, Cloakroom and Social Cinema. And they play at George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville with Colour Design and Chrono Wizard on Jan. 28. Admission is $10. The show is presented by Holy Anvil Recording Co. and AMMPlify. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Benefit Show

90lb Wrench, JP The Rockstar, William Alexander and many more will perform a benefit show for two friends who lost their home to a fire during the recent cold snap in Northwest Arkansas. Music starts at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at Good Vibrations in Rogers. Admission is $10 at the door, and proceeds go directly to Erin Joy and Jamye Linn, who lost everything in the fire. Those who can’t make it but still want to help out should check out the Facebook event page for a link to their GoFundMe.

Kurt Allen Band

Kansas City’s Kurt Allen Band is bringing the blues to Northwest Arkansas. After a Feb. 1 show at Sticky’s in Little Rock, the band brings their blend of gritty old school blues, vintage soul, swampy Bayou funk and relentless blues-rock Feb. 2 to Meteor Guitar Gallery in Bentonville.
