Our Darkest Days Team Up With Belvedere’s Steve Rawles On New Single “These Fast Times”

Quebec City’s Our Darkest Days have just announced their new album, Snakes & Ladders, will be released on the 19th November and they are debuting their new single, These Fast Times, that features Steve Rawles of Belvedere. The ferocious follow up to 2016’s A Common Agony will feature lightning fast skatepunk tuneage and is the band’s most technical and refined music to date. In addition to Steve Rawles of Belvedere the album will also feature guest appearances by Mute’s Étienne Dionne, Adhesive‘s Geir Pedersen and Valérie Morin.

“We live in a lifetime where our lives are laid out on a strict timeline. The hourglass empties itself at a fast pace but we are so blinded by evolution, that we hardly see the end of its race. As we grew up younger, it seemed like we weren’t so rushed to live our lives ; possibly the main source of that was the lack of technology and progress as we see it today. Maybe it’s time to go back to our old habits and live more instead of consuming more. We may have evolved as per say, but in another way it seems like we’re getting further away from how our human lives were intended to thrive.”

The album will be released digitally and on CD on November 19th via Thousand Islands Records (North America) and Lockjaw Records (Europe) with the vinyl shipping in the first half of 2022. You can stream These Fast Times and pre-order Snakes & Ladders here
