Atlanta-based punk rockers Reconciler have returned with their newest album, Art For Our Sake, via Smartpunk Records. The 13-track album features songs such as “Shots in the Dark” and “Never Fade Away” in what is considered the band’s strongest production to date.
Harkening to a sound alternately Southeast and East Bay, Reconciler released their debut LP, Set Us Free, in February of 2019 to critical acclaim from punk and Americana outlets alike. The band spent 2019 playing often across the Southeast and East Coast and announced their first European shows, slated for June 2020.
Shortly After the first anniversary of Set Us Free, the world shut down, and all plans were canceled indefinitely. Reconciler wouldn’t see another stage for 18 months despite releasing a split seven-inch with the legendary Gainesville outfit Ship Thieves in January of 2021 and offering another new track on the Grace vinyl comp alongside many noteworthy acts including Hot Water Music, Samiam, and Catbite the following October.
Art For Our Sake is a testament to the band’s tenacity and work ethic, as it offers a new level of Reconciler.
