The Flatliners announce new album and share first single

May 29, 2022

The Flatliners celebrate their 20-years-anniversary. There is no better way to do that than kicking the doors in with a brand-new record and a massive list of tour dates. The new single “Performative Hours” creates an appetite for more. With the new record, the band also returns to Fat Wreck. “There’s a desperation that’s run rampant within us as people, and it’s the need to be validated,’ shares Chris about the new song. “A shadow of what’s really real, a version of the truth, a performance at all hours. As the world around us grows more mechanically able to connect, we as people will abuse that power to simply brag or complain, feverishly attempting to create a moment instead of just enjoying one. It feels as though we’ve found ourselves in an age of insincerity, with people putting in the hours for nothing more than upholding an image. Time now ticks in performative hours”. The upcoming new record “New Ruin” will be released August 5th. It can be pre-ordered HERE. Track Listing 1. Performative Hours [Read More]

Delaire The Liar release new track and video for “No Thanks”

October 25, 2021

The majestic Delaire The Liar have released a brilliant, brand new single and video ‘No Thanks’ via their new home at Rude Records. This is the follow-up to recent singles ‘Furnace‘ and ‘Halloween‘, both out in the last 5 months. Speaking about the new song the band said: “There’s a conflict of interest when it comes to offering help to the people you love. It can be distracting: it can bring assurance that you are still of value to the relationships you care so much about; that you can still contribute positively irrespective of your own wellbeing. It can be dangerous: it can be frightening to know that the people you love will put everything they have on the line for you despite themselves; for you to get better and still they expect no thanks”. Music, at its best, opens the door to an honesty that borders on disconcerting. For London four-piece Delaire The Liar, expressing a central truth is at the very core of all they create. Utilizing a weaponized punk rock attitude that [Read More]
