Stick To Your Guns have unleashed a short new EP.
Entitled Invisible Rain, the surprise release from the California
hardcore punks is the band’s first for their new home of SharpTone Records, with
vocalist Jesse Barnett sharing in a statement:
“’The alienation from the self is a consequence of being a
mechanistic part of a social class, the condition of which estranges a person
from their humanity.’
“This EP is about the theory of alienation. The ways in which we
have been alienated from ourselves, our work, our lives and ultimately each
other. How are we to care about anything beyond ourselves when we ourselves are
in a constant state of survival. The consequence of this is the society that
currently envelopes us. One that preys on our decencies and our good will and
turns it against us. There is a lot to despair about in today's world but our
future has yet to be written. We can either write it or it will be written for
us.
“I want to thank SharpTone Records for believing in our vision
and for helping to continue to cultivate hardcore and metalcore music. Shawn
has been involved with STYG since its inception and I know we are in good
hands.
“‘The old world is dying, the new one struggles to be born. Now
is the time of monsters.’”
