04/15/25 | [dcraley]No Cure Signs With SharpTone Records
SharpTone Records has announced the signing of Alabama metallic hardcore unit NO CURE. Accompanying the announcement are the details of their first collaborative release, an EP titled I Hope I Die Here, including its first single "Don't Need Your Help."
"Every track features someone that has made an undeniable mark on Alabama hardcore over the years," the band says regarding the record's guest list. "We do not expect you to recognize every name on this record, and that's the point."
Vocalist Blaythe Steuer comments on the track, "'Don't Need Your Help' is about my touring experience throughout the country, and learning that many people still view the Southeast through a lens of negativity. The meaning behind the song is broad, in the sense that it certainly acknowledges the painful past of the region. But it also makes clear that it doesn't help anyone to continue shitting on the current people here that only want to make it a better place for everyone."
As for the EP, the band says, "I Hope I Die Here is a love letter to Alabama and the Southeastern experience. It is an acknowledgment of suffering, and a proclamation of strength. This record is conceptually driven and more musically diverse than our previous EPs, on purpose. There is a distinct reason for each song to exist. We approach many topics, including what it's like to grow up under the boot of religion, fraternity culture, the dark side of a beloved landmark, local ecological exploitation, and more. We do not believe the world needs any more songs about how craaaaaazyyy of a guy you are, how much you hate your town, or how your ex was such a *checks notes* bitch for breaking up with you because you cheated on her."
