RECONCILER RELEASES ‘THREE SONGS’ EP

Stop the presses! Reconciler, the Southern sons of grit-laced punk rock, are back with a three-hit combo to the jaw. Their latest offering, Three Songs, may be lean, but it packs the punch of a heavyweight brawler. This limited 7-inch serves as a sonic sledgehammer ahead of a southern tour and a marquee slot at SXSW.

Frontman Joseph Lazzari sums it up best: “Three Songs offers a heavier, more visceral side of Reconciler’s heart-on-sleeve approach that contemplates grappling with mental health as the credits roll on the American Dream.” And if that doesn’t make you sit up and listen, nothing will.

This Atlanta outfit has been churning out raucous, resonant anthems since 2016, carving their own path in a punk landscape that often veers toward the predictable. Drawing on influences that span the Southeastern underground to the raw power of East Bay punk, Reconciler first turned heads with their 2019 debut, Set Us Free. A split 7-inch with Gainesville legends Ship Thieves followed in 2021, further cementing their reputation as torchbearers for blue-collar punk sincerity.

Their sophomore LP, Art For Our Sake, arrived in 2024 via Smartpunk Records in the U.S. and Gunner Records in Europe, unleashing a wave of defiant singalongs that resonated from stateside dive bars to the packed halls of their first U.K. and European tour. Art For Our Sake wasn’t just an album—it was an exclamation point. The title track became a juggernaut, dominating Sirius XM’s Faction Punk station for months on end.

Now, with Three Songs, Reconciler turns the volume dial to eleven. This isn’t just another release—it’s a statement. A battle cry. A reminder that punk rock isn’t just about the power chords; it’s about the power behind them. The EP’s visceral intensity marks a new chapter in the band’s evolution, proving once again that Reconciler is a name worth remembering.

And who better to shepherd this sonic storm than Smartpunk Records? Once the beloved name behind a certain Warped Tour stage, Smartpunk has evolved into a bastion of punk rock preservation and discovery. From Less Than Jake’s Anthem to The Swellers’ My Everest, their catalog reads like a love letter to punk purists and vinyl junkies alike.

So, folks, consider this your wake-up call. Get your hands on Three Songs while you can. Vinyl, merch, and more are up for grabs—but if history tells us anything, they won’t last long. Reconciler is rolling into 2025 with the fire of a thousand basement shows, and you’d be wise to get on board before this train leaves the station.

Stay tuned, stay loud, and remember—Radio’s not dead. It just moved to Seattle.
