Scheme Records has teamed up with Sunday Drive Records to release a split 7" between SQUARE ONE and TURN OF PHRASE.

From the label...

We’ve done it … we’ve achieved unity maxxing again. This time combining the Nu-York-Nu-Skool stylings of Brooklyn / Queens HC pillars SQUARE ONE with the UKs HC punk-melody makers TURN OF PHRASE onto one incredibly premium 7” disk. Packed into a nice euro DJ Sleeve with a hole on the front so you can see the silver foil center labels. This pairing isnt even where our unity combo breaks, the real juice in this squeeze is the combined efforts of us (Scheme Records) and Brooklyn by way of Texas’ SUNDAY DRIVE RECORDS. A label I can with all confidence put on an incredibly short list of entities that never fail to inspire me in all that they do. I think that feeling I get really shined through in all aspects of this record.. Jonathan master minded this production and I’m proud we could slap our name on it too. You can listen here and if for some reason you’ve resided under a rock ; Square One is kind of New Age style hc (No candles or crystals.. like Turning Point meeting Supertouch in 1991) and Turn of Phrase features members of Scheme records own DYNAMITE and plays self identified THE AGENT influenced HC (Or Lifetime and Leatherface if you’re not one of the 11 readers from Long Island) .. you can be your own judge right here..

While a pale sky evokes beauty, it also feels still. Another ordinary day—a moment to breath, but a need to escape to search for something better. This chasm exists on the split 7” titled, “Pale Skies”. Side A features New York hardcore band, Square One with Side B featuring London hardcore band, Turn of Phrase, thus making this a first co-release, with an unlikely, but sensible paring between Scheme and Sunday Drive Records.

Square One and Turn of Phrase each contribute two new tracks, and their first since their demos released over a year ago. Square One’s ‘The Cycle’ and ‘What’s Real’ are filled with groove only a NYHC band can create, with the likeness of Supertouch or Beyond. Turn of Phrase’s ‘Delirium’ and ‘Still As Sin’ are fast, but full of melody, with palpable energy to dive and shout to; as you would to Lifetime or fellow English band, Leatherface.

“Pale Skies” is for the days you need to breathe and the days that you need to search for the light.
