As LostAlone gear up to kick off their comeback shows (a headline date tonight, and then three gigs supporting My Chemical Romance this month), the band have just unveiled a new single, Punchline Punched Back.

Recording during the first lockdown, Steven Battelle explains, "I was dealing with some major toxicity and this song was a way of exorcising myself from it. Feeling like I was recusing myself from life and spending too much time in fantasy, hence the reference to Rekall, the virtual vacation centre in Total Recall – the Arnie version."

Meanwhile, of their return as a whole, the frontman enthuses: "The three of us are buzzing to be back making music again together. I didn’t realise until recently that a part of me had been lying dormant these last few years, but now – without wanting to pre-empt the future – I feel like I’ve that part of me back for good."

"We’ve always had such a kinship between our bands, so I was over the moon when they asked us to join them for some of these huge shows," says Steven of supporting My Chem this month. "My Chemical Romance fans are some of the most passionate and welcoming audiences I’ve ever played to, so I’m excited to meet them again."
