Die Trying & Other Hot Sounds (1979-1983) brings together a vibrant era from Rochester's own New Math, a band that drew stages with the Ramones, Psychedelic Furs, and The Cramps during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Merging sharp rock energy with infectious pop hooks, New Math's songs like the anthem “Die Trying” and the propulsive “The Restless Kind” capture the restless spirit of their time, while tracks like “Angela” channel the bittersweet punch of ‘60s pop with a modern edge.
This collection spotlights both celebrated singles and compelling, previously unreleased demos, providing an authentic window into the band’s creative evolution. Featuring original artwork and detailed track-by-track annotations from the band themselves, Die Trying & Other Hot Sounds (1979-1983) is a must-hear snapshot of a group whose kinetic sound defined a pivotal moment in alternative music history.
