Following the 2020 joint release of Colossal Wreck and Desperate Pleasures, the frantic firestorm of riffs and howls serves as the third taster from the Buffalo hardcore titans' forthcoming ninth studio album, the successor to 2016's 'Low Teens'.
Vocalist Keith Buckley previously made it known that the band aren't dropping a new LP until the COVID-19 pandemic is over. Talking to Peer Pleasure podcast in November, he said:
"We actually have a new record recorded. We wrote and recorded it, and then two weeks later, the pandemic hit. So, we’re just sitting on it, but we’re not going to do anything with it until we can tour again, because it deserves… You know, I mean everyone's everyone’s music deserves to be toured on, if they put everything into it that they, you know, hold sacred which is what you try to do when you’re in a recording studio.
"So we don’t want to just like throw it into the furnace of online content that gets absorbed and quickly shit out while people are binge watching shows and, you know, trying to find ways to distract themselves from the truth that the world is, you know, pretty much dilapidating around us.
"But uh yeah, so were hoping that the band start touring again soon. But I will say that, like, the writing for this album. And I was very, very, very fucking excited about touring on this album, because it’s just such a different album as far as like the attitude of it. I was very excited to realize that I kind of got back to the playfulness of old ETID, you know. So I do feel like this is on par."
In the meantime, the band will hit the road in 2021 supporting Parkway Drive on their summer Australian tour.
