I absolutely LOVE Toy Soldier, but that one aside I see all these as perfect b-sides. Glad they decided to share them before blowing our minds this summer/fall.
The summer tour seems to me more of a B market tour, which tells me the album may not be out before it begins. I’m thinking album will drop August/September and a big fall tour will follow. At least the album is DONE recording. I just hope it isn’t a repeat where we get the lead single in August and the album doesn’t drop 6 months after lol. That was torture.
I hate to be the pessimist, but between mixing, mastering, vinyl pressing, and promo rollout, this could easily be an early 2020 release. A single right before or after the B market tour does seem likely though.
Yep I’m fearing this as well. And I would be very bummed for it to come out during winter. Just such a buzzkill haha. Just praying for August/September.
It feels impossible that ATP was released almost 2 and a half years ago at this point. Usually a break this long will feel like an eternity for a band I love, but ATP's staying power has made the time fly. Easily one of my favorite albums of the last five years, possibly ever. I hope I think back as fondly on LP6 in three years as I do about ATP now!
That DOES sound impossible, I can't believe it's been that long. I still listen to it at least like once a month.
Epitaph always takes so fucking long to put out albums that are done. I would bet it takes longer than sooner.
