    Out of Service have released their new album, Burden, to all streaming services. The record is a three-act concept record about suffering from depression (Threshold, Sleep, Ash), deciding to get help (Stories, Chemicals, Burden), and learning to live with your mental illness (Trauma, Uneasy, Tomorrow).

    Out of Service is an indie rock outfit from the South Jersey/Philadelphia area. After a decade-long hiatus, Out of Service reformed in 2016 with its original lineup of Mike Capuano (vocals), Bryan Williams (guitar), Ken Bond (drums), and Brian McGovern (bass). Settling into the chemistry they had from years of writing and performing together, the band released its first full-length album, Morning, in 2018. Soon after the release, Radio 104.5 Philadelphia selected Out of Service as a top 4 Philly-area band based on the strength of Morning and their regional fan base. At live shows, Out of Service has built a loyal following as the result of their dynamic brand of intensity and musicianship. The band has been booked at some of the most storied Mid-Atlantic venues with acts like Mat Kerekes (Citizen), All Get Out, Shortly, and Valencia.

    Building upon this success, the band completed their forthcoming sophomore effort, Burden. Burden was mixed by Nathan Hussey (All Get Out) and mastered at Vu Du Studios by Frank Mitaritonna. It is a synthesis of the band’s raw emotional energy and indie sensibilities. The first single, “Stories,” features Madeline Finn (Envoi) who blends her soaring vocals to amplify the emotive energy of the song.

    The band can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

    This gives me a heavy Deja Entendu vibe. I'm digging it. Definitely fits my mood currently too.

    Haha that's actually why I specified the album instead of the band. That's one wound that I don't think will ever heal.

    I’ve listened to a few songs off this since Friday’s release (shuffled), some with more attentiveness than others. “Burden” really gave me Brand New, Deja - Devil&God vibes. Seeing the same said in here really affirms that.

    It’s different from previous material from these guys, discovered through Chorus last year. More mature in the same way BN’s sound did from their earliest material. That’s a pretty damn good trajectory and probably not a surprise after some time not being a regular band (from what I’ve read of this band). Keep doing it, it’s working. Hopefully the positive recognition continues for this band.
