No Warning have signed to Flatspot Records and say new recordings are coming in 2027. No title, no tracklist, no date.
It would be the first new music from the Toronto band since Torture Culture in 2017, which was itself their first album in thirteen years. Count the gaps and the pattern is hard to miss: Ill Blood in 2002, Suffer, Survive in 2004, then nothing until 2017, then nothing until at least next year. The band has released two albums in the last twenty two years and is about to make it three.
Flatspot has been running since 2004 and has put out records for Trapped Under Ice, Backtrack and Mizery, and more recently for Scowl, Zulu and Speed. Its Extermination Compilation series is the part of the catalogue most bands get noticed through. Adding a band that started in 1998 to a roster built on who is about to break is a different kind of signing, and the label will have done the arithmetic on what a No Warning record is still worth.
Ben Cook sings, Jordan Posner and Matt DeLong play guitar, and the five of them have been the same five since the band came back in 2013.
