Ten years after the release of the Invisible EP and 20 years since their debut, Paint It Black returns with a new album called Famine, out on Nov. 3 on Revelation Records.
The band, comprised on Dan Yemin, Andy Nelson, Josh Agran, and Jared Shavelson, has three full-lengths and three 7" releases thus far.
They will play a record release show in Philadelphia on November 4th with support from Pegboy, Radiator Hospital, and The HIRS Collective, also playing at FEST 21 in Gainesville, FL on October 28.
Speaking of the years-in-the-making record, Yemin states: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.
