Today, Stick To Your Guns have released “More Than a Witness,” the second single from their upcoming album Keep Planting Flowers, set for release on January 10 via SharpTone Records. Pre-order the album here.
Vocalist Jesse Barnett shared his thoughts on the new track:
“‘More Than a Witness’ was a song that poured out of us, from the riffs to the lyrics it was clear that the substance of this song was something that desperately needed to come out and I’m glad it did. It’s one of my favorites from the new album and truly is a reminder that we each have our own responsibility in fighting for a better way of life for all.”
He Adds
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. Whether we all like it or not, every day we are engaging in a collective society where what we do, or don’t do, has a cause and effect on each other, and other things. While most of us have completely isolated ourselves by individualizing every aspect of our lives, it can be difficult to see why what doesn’t directly affect you right now in this moment should have any significance to you at all. For me, personally, I have committed to my role of no longer just sitting back and watching our world spin out into a death spiral but rather I will do what I can when I can with what I have. No matter how futile it may seem to be to some. To me, this is what it means to be truly human. And like the late great Kris Kristofferson says: ‘Try to tell the truth and stand your ground. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.'”
Stick To Your Guns will embark on a European tour at the beginning of 2025. They will play on January 26 at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Tickets for this show are available on the venue’s website.
