The World is a Beautiful Place... Thank You For Being Here

Posted in Records on September 1, 2022

The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die will release their new live album and tour documentary, Thank You For Being Here, on October 7th via Epitaph Records. The documentary focuses on "the stresses and hardships of touring as an indie band amidst the ambiguity of COVID-19." Joshua Cyr comments:

Every day was a gamble. You’d wake up not knowing if you’re going to be able to play the show that night, or if there's even going to be a show to play. The whole thing could’ve gotten canceled at any point.

You can check out the trailer for the documentary and the track, "January 10th, 2014" below:
