California melodic hardcore outfit Stick To Your Guns have inked a deal with SharpTone Records. The signing arrives with a brand new, two-track EP titled Invisible Rain. Listen to the effort below or stream it here. The effort was engineered by the group’s guitarist Chris Rawson and Beau Burchell (Saosin). Mixing and mastering was handled by Jeff Dunne (Knocked Loose, Currents).
Speaking of the release, vocalist Jesse Barnett offered:
“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.”
