Official press release:
Kansas City pop-punk band, Keep True, are thrilled to release their debut EP, Digging Up Bones on November 16th. Pre-orders are available via iTunes. The name for the EP derives from digging up old emotions that you wish would stay buried, but somehow keep working themselves up above ground again. The band note:
“Digging Up Bones is our attempt at trying to bring back the classic sound of pop-punk that forged the genre 30 years ago. It’s about heartbreak, holding grudges, letting go of them, and growing up.”
Kicking things off, the band unleashed, “Living”, an emotional rollercoaster of a song about losing someone. The band elaborates:
“It’s about being grateful for the time you had together.”
Off the 5-track EP, mixed and mastered by Josh Schroeder (Random Awesome), this is the most emotionally charged song (both instrumentally and lyrically) off the EP. They continue by stating:
“The chorus has a cinematic wideness to it and lyrically it is extremely vulnerable.”
Additionally, the band unveiled another single, “Deal With It” a song that offers a narration of a fight between a couple. The band expands:
“It is about when a relationship is coming to the end of the ropes. It’s fast-paced instrumental that really illustrates the stressful mindset of being in a relationship that is on and off.”
To celebrate the release of Digging Up Bones, the band partnered with Famous For A Day for a double EP release show at The Aftershock in Merriam Kansas (5240 Merriam Dr.). The show is FREE and ALL AGES on November 16th. Doors open at 6:00 PM and show begins at 6:30pm.
