El Paso, TX post-punk band LESSER CARE officially announced that they signed with Chicago-based label New Morality Zine. The label has Prize Horse, Bleached Cross, ASkySoBlack, Chico, and more on their roster at this time. The two team up to release the band’s 2024 album HEEL TURN on CD for the first time, and for more music in the near future.
On signing LESSER CARE, label owner Nick Acosta shares:
“Lesser Care has long run in many of the same circles as several bands on the NMZ roster, which is how I first became aware of them. I’ve been a fan of the band for years and have always admired not only their music, but also their approach to DIY touring, their strong aesthetic vision, and their commitment to community.
Dez and I stayed in touch over the years through casual conversations, and when discussions about new music began, everything naturally clicked into place. I’m incredibly excited to welcome Lesser Care to the roster. They embody the spirit of NMZ while also demonstrating how a band can evolve and expand its sound without chasing trends or feeling forced. Listening back through their catalog, you can hear the foundations of where they were headed all along, making their growth feel both organic and honest.”
LESSER CARE is Andres Chavez (Dez) – Vocals, Guitar, Zane Pacillas – Drums, Percussion, Kevin Armstrong – Guitar, Tanner Maxwell – Guitar, and Alejandro Sigala (Fish) – Bass.
