Die Young (TX) and Liberty & Justice team up to bring you a complimentary Texas-sized serving of metallic hardcore and street punk. Each band delivers an original track in their own style, while also collaborating on a transformative cover of Leonard Cohen’s prophetic anthem, “The Future,” in which members of both bands play together. With artwork by street artist GIVE UP, this split is an all-out sensory experience suitable for these chaotic times that Cohen himself predicted. And for the cherry on top, Liberty & Justice’s original track was co-written by Austin Sparkman of Haywire. Sonically, Die Young and Liberty & Justice may seem like an unlikely pair, but with their shared roots in the Texas DIY hardcore/punk scene, the spirit of the underground is undeniably united on this subgenre-bending, limited split release.Die Young is:Daniel Austin - vocals, lyrics, rhythm guitar (studio)Michael Arellano - drumsRogelio Vigil - lead guitarChristopher Dawson - bassJeff Williams - rhythm guitar (live)Drums recorded by Rogelio Vigil, July 2025Vocals and rhythm guitar recorded by Daniel Austin, Aug/Sept 2025Bass recorded by Christopher Dawson, Aug/Sept 2025Lead Guitar recorded by Rogelio Vigil, Aug/Sept 2025Mixed & Mastered by Allan Davis“The Future”Originally by Leonard CohenPerformed by Liberty & Justice and Die YoungVocals - Ryan Taylor, Daniel AustinGuitar - Daniel AustinDrums - Michael ArellanoBass - Edwin CarsonKeyboard - Timmy CalacsanLiberty & Justice is currently:Timmy - keysRyan - vocalsRichard - guitar, backing vocalsEdwin - bass, backing vocalsCory - drums“Oxygen Tank” written by Austin Sparkman and Liberty & JusticeLyrics by Ryan C.
