Holy shit - so excited. I didn’t think this would ever happen! Can’t wait to listen in the UK when the world spins round. Also out today is Geoff on 100 words or less podcast
It's been fun seeing everyone's reaction to the news. Those of us who have been with this band from the beginning are truly blown away.
When Anthony of Bayside reacted negatively to this question for Interrobang, I was like “come on man, valid question.” For Thursday, just fucking enjoy it!! First song in 13 years!
This is what’s brought the biggest smile to my face. For a band that has always been very open about how writing brings out the worst in the group and caused them to break up repeatedly without ever announcing it - the fact that we have a new song for the first time in 13 years says the band is in a very good place.
I still can't believe this is real and I still have about 40 mins until midnight to be able to give it a listen Do we know who's on it by the way? Norman's tweet and seeing Stu's involvement makes me believe the current live line up wrote and recorded it, but I'm curious to know whether Tom, Tim and Andrew are part of it too.
