No Cure have signed with SharpTone Records and will be releasing a new conceptual guest-filled EP titled “I Hope I Die Here” on December 06th. The straight edge deathcore-leaning outfit have launched the song “Don’t Need Your Help” as its first single, with Jesse Clark of Wielded Steel and Nick Chance of Beautiful Child Of God both appearing.
No Cure set out to pay tribute to their home state of Alabama with the EP, stating the following of their intentions, “Every track features someone that has made an undeniable mark on Alabama hardcore over the years. We do not expect you to recognize every name on this record, and that’s the point.”
Vocalist Blaythe Steuer also had the following to share of this first single:
“‘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.
It was critically important to me to have two of my closest friends sing on this song. The first being Nick Chance (Beautiful Child of God), and also Jesse Clark (Wielded Steel). Both of them have shared these kinds of experiences as well. Overall, it is an extremely overstimulating and hard hitting track, and I can’t wait to rip it live.”
Along with his guest spot, Chance also directed the below video for the song. As for the overall EP, the band collectively offered:
“‘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.”

For pre-saves, head to bfan.link/i-hope-i-die-here. While they’ve steadily been raising their profile on their own merits, No Cure made headlines last month after two of their members were stabbed when attempting to breakup a fight at their Nashville, TN show. The resulting gnarly wounds left by the altercation later appeared on their merch.
