Album three is coming form Regional Justice Center on Sept. 20. The hardcore band shared two new songs today, "Freedom" and "Take a Step Away," from the upcoming Freedom, Sweet Freedom, due to release via Closed Casket Activities.
The band was formed by Ian Shelton (Militarie Gun) in 2016 to stay connected with his brother Max through incarceration. Max was released in 2022 and the album continues the shared journey: 13 minutes in total with the two brothers swapping vocals.
"Eight years ago to the day, I woke up in county jail. I was confused, I had zero recollection of what events took place to land me there, and I didn’t know how long I’d be gone or when I’d be able to see and hug my family again. To be able to reclaim these dates and put something positive and hopeful in place of the trauma and anxiety that had always been wrapped around it all -- that is the most beautiful full circle moment to me. Even a lotus can grow in mud. Freedom, sweet freedom," Max says of first of the two singles shared below.
The band last released Crime and Punishment in 2021.
