Plus 44 Release New Album Details

By 2 Comments

Plus 44 will release their new album When Your Heart Stops Beating on November 14th. The band recently spoke to MTV about the theme of the album:

The whole album is about everything that’s happened, including Blink, and the ugly feelings that were left over afterwards. Lyrically, it’s some of the most positive stuff I’ve ever written, but it’s also some of the darkest shit, too. And I’m incredibly proud of it all.

Now, after taking a brief hiatus to resolve the issues that were threatening the bandâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s existence, UNDEROATH have emerged stronger and more cohesive as a unit than ever before. â┚¬Ã…”Weâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢re sorry we had to drop off tour in the Northeast,â┚¬? notes guitarist TIM MCTAGUE. â┚¬Ã…”Our situation was critical and we had to work through old issues that were hindering us from functioning as a band together. Weâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢re excited to be back on the road and weâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ll definitely come back to the Northeast in the spring to make things up to our fans.â┚¬? With this new energy, the band will return to the road in September for a Canadian headlining tour with Silverstein, Moneen and He Is Legend.
