South Africa based hardcore punk band The Old-timers release TWO new EPs called “Turn It Off” and “Turn It Up!” Not content with one release, the Old-timers deliver more spirit-filled karate chops than one album could handle. Building on their unique Animal Hardcore sound, share their faith and hope through unapologetic answers and heartfelt pleas.
The Old-timers’ continue their unusual recording process, with Dave (vocals) and Don (guitar and bass) twelve hours apart in South Africa, and their drummer Phil (also of False Idle) records at the Simpul Studios in Boise, Idaho, in the United States. The purpose of The Old-timers is to glorify God in every song, to reach a desperate world with the Good News of God’s grace and love, and to have a ton of fun while doing it.
Released jointly by Thumper Punk Records and Veritas Vinyl, digital versions are available through iTunes, AmazonMP3 and most other digital retailers, along with the Thumper Punk Records and Veritas Vinyl webstores. All proceeds from the sale of “Turn It Off” and “Turn It Up!” will be donated to U-Turn Homeless Ministries in Cape Town, South Africa (https://www.homeless.org.za/).
