Stick To Your Guns Announce "Keep Planting Flowers" Record Release Show
So Cal hardcore quintet STICK TO YOUR GUNS, Jesse Barnett [vocals], Andrew Rose [bass], Adam Galindo [drums], Chris Rawson [guitar], and Josh James [guitar] are set to release their ferocious new album Keep Planting Flowers on January 10 via new label SharpTone Records. Pre-orders for the album are now live here. Along with the record release show announcement for their highly anticipated new album, they have also released their latest single off the new album, Severed Forever which is a massively energetic anthem with soaring melodic choruses and a monster breakdown.
Regarding the single and video, Barnett stated,
"In an industry where there is only one true artist for every 250 entrepreneurs, this song is a dedication to the 'artists and musicians' who are nothing more than lackeys or the errand boys of their keepers. I have severed myself completely from the superficial competitive market mentality of 'fuck thy neighbor' to one that aligns more with the yearning of my spirit. I'm not going to pretend lines haven't been drawn. I chose my side and I have found purpose in who and what I fight for."
"Keep Planting Flowers is a collection of songs that exist to spite the nihilistic narrative that plagues our minds and societies. One that says things are just the way that they are and that regardless of the burning rage or depthless depression that this fills us with, there is simply nothing we can do about it. I militantly reject such a joyless outlook on the one life that I get the honor of living. A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers.”
