Paint It Black Release Title Track From Upcoming “Famine” Album

Twenty years after their first album, Philadelphia’s Paint It Black have today announced that their new album, Famine, is set for release on November 3rd via the band’s new home, Revelation Records. Across three full-length albums and three seven-inch EPs, they have been crafting concise, incisive statements that meld hardcore’s fury with a nuanced lyrical perspective. On Famine, Paint It Black shows all sides of itself, returning as inspired, and inspiring, with their first new material since 2013’s Invisible EP. The eight songs on the record are vibrant, vital and full of unrest, as exemplified on the title track that is out now. The song is pummeling and melodic at the same time with a charged dissection of the rose-colored tellings of American history.

Paint It Black have also announced a record release show in Philadelphia on November 4th with support from Pegboy, Radiator Hospital and The HIRS Collective and tickets can be purchased here at 10AM ET on Friday, September 8th. The band is also set to perform at The Fest in Gainesville, FL on October 28th.

“It’s important to make things that are real, thoughtful, and not disposable. We don’t just put out a new record because it’s time to put out a new record. We put out a record when we’ve got something to say. We’re a hardcore punk band, and the most important thing, more than velocity or volume, is authenticity. I’m shooting for something real because I want to feel something real and I want to yell it in people’s faces. I want to stir something in people, and I want to make music that I had to stir something in myself to make.” (vocalist Dan Yemin)
