Official press release:
Fresh off the success of their latest single, “HEINOUS”, metal/hip-hop fusion band UnityTX is excited to announce their sophomore album Somewhere, In Between…. The new record is set to be released on March 13th, 2026 via Pure Noise Records, marking the band’s first full-length since their 2023 debut Ferality. Fans can watch the band’s new music video “Enjoy Tha Show” and pre-order the album now at https://purenoiserecs.lnk.to/UnityTX. Frontman Jay Webster (aka SHAOLIN G) says:
“‘Enjoy Tha Show’ was crafted to provoke thought on the narratives we embrace as humans, sharing our experiences to foster connection. After much reflection, I aimed to create something that resonated with my audience and mirrored my struggles. Seeking comfort among those who don’t understand the pain of feeling ethnically out of place can be daunting.”
He continues:
“At times, the words of strangers would sting so deeply that I’d share them with others. It felt like a natural reaction, yet my friends urged me to rise above it. Ignoring it was harder than I thought, as I was expected to just perform and push through the noise. So, I shifted my approach to simply enjoying the experience.
Unknowingly, I built my life around catering to critics, only to realize that the audience often reacts negatively when you stray from their expectations. This goes beyond music; our society often limits opportunities for those daring to be themselves. It’s frustrating, and I accept that it’s a tragic reality. My identity is shaped by my experiences and environment, and that cannot be changed. Where do we draw the line between empathy and judgment?”
UnityTX will be on tour this spring, supporting Varials on a full US run. The month long tour kicks off on March 12 in Detroit, with stops to follow in Chicago, Denver, Anaheim, Dallas, Atlanta, Baltimore, Brooklyn, and more.
