Stick To Your Guns have spent over two decades crafting a powerful, socially conscious blend of hardcore, metal, and punk. Staying as relentless as ever, the Southern California quintet begins a new chapter with their signing to SharpTone Records.
To mark the occasion, the band has released the Invisible Rain EP, featuring two brand-new tracks: ‘Permanent Dark‘ and ‘Invisible Rain‘. Both songs delve into themes of alienation while maintaining the band’s trademark intensity and passion.
Speaking about the release and their new partnership with SharpTone Records, vocalist Jesse Barnett shared:
“The alienation from the self is a consequence of being a mechanistic part of a social class, the condition of which estranges a person from their humanity.’
This EP is about the theory of alienation. The ways in which we have been alienated from ourselves, our work, our lives and ultimately each other. How are we to care about anything beyond ourselves when we ourselves are in a constant state of survival. The consequence of this is the society that currently envelopes us. One that preys on our decencies and our good will and turns it against us. There is a lot to despair about in today’s world but our future has yet to be written. We can either write it or it will be written for us. I want to thank SharpTone Records for believing in our vision and for helping to continue to cultivate hardcore and metalcore music. Shawn has been involved with STYG since its inception and I know we are in good hands. ‘The old world is dying, the new one struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.”
The Invisible Rain EP is available now across all streaming platforms.
