Direct Hit!

A Milwaukee-based pop-punk device that specializes in tight, fist-pumping anti-anthems in the vein of Amount 41 as well as the Vandals, Direct Strike! was founded in 2007 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Woods. Before the project’s development, Woods was managing guitar responsibilities for Madison-based indie rockers the Package Sociable. The impetus of Immediate Strike! was to forgo the most common rigamarole of releasing an recording every year or two and just focus on singles and EPs, comic publication style, that your band do vigorously between 2008 and 2010. In 2011, they released their 1st full-length, Domesplitter, which presented re-recorded variations of material using their early EPs. Some splits adopted, and in 2013 they inked a cope with Crimson Scare and released the apocalypse-driven idea recording Brainless God. The recording was well received, and spawned an associated album-length brief film that premiered in chapters via press sites like Vice as well as the Onion’s A.V. Golf club. Buying a lineup comprising Woods, Danny Walkowiak, Devon Kay, and Steve Maury, Immediate Strike! signed with Body fat Wreck Chords and released their very much anticipated third studio room long-player, Wasted Brain, in 2016. It had been adopted in early 2017 with a Fat Wreck-reissued vinyl fabric edition of Immediate Strike!’s debut, Domesplitter, with recently designed artwork.
