NYHC band Shutdown is back, sharing a brand new EP early next year and their first new music in 24 years. The band will release By Your Side on Jan. 17, 2025, out on Equal Vision. The EP was recorded by Jerry Farley.
Though no longer teenagers, the band continues where they began. “That positivity is just how we roll,” says vocalist Stephen DellaCroce , “because it helped us when we were angry teenagers. To this day, when we write songs, we write them for us and whoever likes it likes it, but obviously it speaks to a lot of people and it's helped us survive this long as humans. So it was essential to keep that message going with this EP."
“There’s a lot of hope on this release,” he adds. “I really think that’s what the world needs right now.”
The band returned last year with Still… Against All Odds collection EP.
