They have announced their upcoming album The Standard, which arrives July 31 via Spinefarm. Pre-order it here.
The band has also thrown another haymaker in the form of the video for new single “Rolling Stone.” Watch it here.
“‘Rolling Stone’ leans into the reality of living a fast life on the road in pursuit of chasing your purpose,” Southpaw FLHC states. “Losing loved ones and pieces of yourself along the way are part of the game. In the process of moving towards your purpose, the climb feels never ending, yet time continues on. But as a man, you must walk that line in order to create your own path and legacy. In honor of frontman Daryn Lamontagne‘s grandfather. Rest in power, Pops.”
“All gas, no brakes. Driven by hunger, discipline, and a relentless passion for the love of the game. This is The Standard,” the band declares.
Southpaw FLHC, who bridge the gap between the old and new generations of hardcore with elements of punk, metal and hip hop, crashed the scene with their self-titled EP, released in 2020. They haven’t taken a breath since, releasing seven singles with accompanying music videos. Clearly, their DIY ethic is strong, as the band also hit the road — and hard. They’ve shared stages with and toured alongside With Blood Comes Cleansing, Tracheotomy, Bodysnatcher, Surfaced, and Hoods, inciting furious moshpits in every city they played.
In 2025, they embarked on a headline run with Cutthroats, Kind Eyes, Unvow, and Resistor. Their hometown roots run deep as marrow, as evidenced by the fact that they headline and packed the first-ever show at a brand new venue called HARDLOVE in Jacksonville. Southpaw FLHC ain’t playing and they’ve established themselves as an up and comer in the hardcore scene. This is only the beginning. Their worldwide partnership with Spinefarm will allow them to ascend to the next level — because that is where they are ultimately headed.
SOUTHPAW FLHC have also announced a later summer headline tour that runs through August and September. All date are below.
