Alternative emo punk band, Sad Park have announced their new album, NO MORE SOUND, out July 7th via Pure Noise Records. Alongside the announcement, the band also shared the first single, “ALWAYS AROUND” with an accompanying music video. Watch it now below.
“ALWAYS AROUND” is about wanting to get the most out of life, making sure that you are appreciating and loving the things and people around you,” says the band on the new song. “Accepting the hard times, pushing through and recognizing them as formative moments to appreciate and grow from.”
NO MORE SOUND is Sad Park’s third full length and first for Pure Noise Records. The band worked with AJJ’s Sean Bonnette, who oversaw production and collaborated with vocalist/guitarist Graham Steele on the lyric writing process, helped bassist/vocalist Sam Morton, drummer Grant Bubar and guitarist Aidan Memory not only create a record that flows, musically and thematically, from beginning to end, but which also sees the four-piece truly discover and become who they are as a band.
“The theme of the album is summarized into four parts: Life, Death, Love, and Time,” says Steele. Recorded across ten days at Balboa Studios in Los Angeles, NO MORE SOUND is the sound of a band really coming into their own. It captures their chemistry perfectly, and as much fun as the band had making the record in general, it still manages to convey the band’s distinctively peppy sense of melancholy.
While Sad Park have always tapped into the human condition with their songs, they do so even more profoundly on this record.
Sad Park will support The Frights on their upcoming tour kicking off Friday, June 2 at The Novo in Los Angeles. Beginning August 17, they will open for AJJ on a run of summer shows starting in Pittsburgh. All tour dates can be found below.
