We just released a second single “Don’t Be Afraid” from our forthcoming 12th album. (SRGILS,Virgin,UMG).The band is currently in the studio working on a full-length follow-up to “Return Of The Dragon” (2021) and anticipate a 2025 release.
“We’re all excited to put this one out there,” says singer and guitarist Rob Thorne. “The last single ‘Is It Time?’ was angry, anxious, and desperately hopeless, which is valid. But we forge on, don’t we? We rediscover hope; we find a way to get our asses out of bed and give every day the best we’ve got. And in many ways, ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ is the best we’ve got.”
“For the first time ever, I’m drawing upon my conversations with my own kids for the lyrics,” says Thorne. “I’ve lived my whole life as the angry teenager, and now I find myself advising and consoling a houseful of them. It’s weird. There’s a lot happening in their world. They need encouragement. And they most certainly need music.”
