True View专辑介绍

Stick To Your Guns has confirmed plans to release a new album this fall. Following up their 2016 EP ‘Better Ash Than Dust’, The outing has been titled True View and will hit stores on October 13 through Pure Noise Records (US) and End Hits Records (EU).

The album as a whole is filled with this kind of insightful impact, guitarist Josh James explains.

"I really wanted to intentionally create an album that sonically reflects the feeling of modern life: depression, anger, fear, hope, happiness, forgiveness and clarity. A feeling of breaking through the dark shit in life and the journey of the struggle that ends up elevating you to a new, smarter, stronger, better version of yourself,” James says.

As for the album as a whole, it was, "inspired by innumerable conversations that I had with my mother during the hardest couple of years I've had in my life. The people I lost in my life, the mental and physical challenges I faced, as well as losing myself. I don't know if it was getting older or the foundation I had built my life on cracking beneath my feet or a mixture of everything."

"I had just hit a point where I was forced to take inventory of who I was. Truly. Not the person I thought I was or the person I wanted to be, but the actual person I was."

"I had to face my own pain and the pain I caused others. In this time, much like my entire life, my mother was my guiding light. Through the patience, advice and guidance she offered me, I was able to navigate to a place of enlightenment or at the very least a place of better understanding."

"I'm still not the person I hope to one day be but I now feel confident in myself to make decisions and guide myself to that place of peace within myself."

"Regardless of how anyone feels about this record, all I can say it that it was necessary. It had to be written and I'm glad it was."

"I really wanted to intentionally create an album that sonically reflects the feeling of modern life: depression, anger, fear, hope, happiness, forgiveness and clarity," added guitarist Josh James.

"A feeling of breaking through the dark shit in life and the journey of the struggle that ends up elevating you to a new, smarter, stronger, better version of yourself. Things really clicked when Jesse started tracking vocals. The lyrics and feeling he put into each song constantly blew me away, his words were the perfect fit to the songs."

"I've created a lot of music in my life, but right now I can't help but feel that True View is the album I've always wanted to be part of."


The band will also embark on a series of True View record release shows. Those dates, as well as North American tour plans for winter 2018, will be revealed shortly.
