Southtowne Lanes have shared another new single from forthcoming album Take Care, out May 10th via Dog Knights Productions. The new song, “Witness” is a punchy track about trying to find the light in life’s darkest moments. Listen to it now below.
“’With the past as our witness…’ After this declaration, the lyrics describe the ways in which I tried to shine a light for my deteriorating father,” shares singer/guitarist Matt Kupka. “It establishes a prominent theme in the album: the light flickering, flickering, and eventually going out. The witnessing of the downfall.”
Southtowne Lanes is an emotive hardcore band from Eugene, OR. They have garnered a dedicated following over a decade of playing together, due to the high energy nature of their live performances. Sonically, Southtowne is diverse & dense. Big hooks & melodies draw listeners in with ease- but make no mistake. Southtowne is heavy, emotional & raw, and their sporadic live shows only cement this. Fans of scene favorites like Pianos Become The Teeth or Tiny Moving Parts will find Southtowne familiar but not formulaic, and it is clear from the first listen that Southtowne has something to say- and they’re not going to let you avoid it.
