Dayton-based math rock/post-hardcore power trio Place Position releases its Went Silent album on January 23. A foursome of DIY labels, including Sweet Cheetah Records, Poptek Records, Bunker Park Records, and Blind Rage Records, are offering up the album on vinyl.

According to Place Position, it is “a musical group from in and around Dayton, Ohio. [We] write as needed and play when necessary. What do they play? How fast? Will they be playing after 9pm? How effective are their socials? The answer is simple: Place Position is a musical group.”

Place Position adds, “Went Silent is an album. It comes complete with 10 songs. [We] recorded together in a Southwest Ohio basement in the Fall 2024 over the course of two days. After stitching together loose ends [we] handed off mixing duties to Derl Robbins [formerly of Motel Beds] of Dayton, Ohio.”

“Every now and then Andy from Poptek Records would ask; ‘How’s the record coming?’ The band was uncertain whether or not to have it released. After six months, Gwen of Blind Rage Records said, ‘You should get the album pressed and play this show.’ [So, we] give you the album Went Silent.

Fans of Faraquet, Forget Cassettes, Unwound, Fugazi should preorder the album here.

If you’re in Ohio, you can catch the band at Yellow Cab Tavern in Dayton on January 16 alongside Exit Angles, Just A Fire (ex-Hoover), Isolation Drills, and Oh Condor.
