The Slow Death will release their upcoming album, Yesterday's Numbers, on November 20th via Anxious & Angry and Don't Sing Records. You can check out their 2nd single, "You're Not Coming Back" over at Bandcamp. Jesse Thorson comments on the track:

This song is kinda the whole reason I put this record together. I don’t remember breaking up or anything like that. We just stopped for a while, and a while turned into forever. But I always loved it, especially the bridge, where it’s just chords ringing out and the girls singing. It’s so cool that I would think about it all the time. I wanted to hear a finished version so badly that eight people put in two years of effort, and I spent thousands of dollars, making an album just to hear that bridge. Totally worth it.

On the 15 year process of writing Yesterday's Numbers:

I have been wanting to make this record for so long that I kinda can’t believe that it’s finally being pressed. There was always some reason not to. There was always something in the way: ‘Once this tour, this single, this album, this month, this year, this decade is done I will make the rock and roll record.’ It’s done and it’s better than I thought it would be, and as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a super optimistic fella. Everyone who had anything to do with this record absolutely killed it and, coincidentally, I found the right conditioner to give my hair the appropriate body and bounce for the back cover.

You can check out their previously released single, "Gonna Be a Riot" over at New Noise. Pre-order Yesterday's Numbers NOW.

The Slow Death

No Light To See
Don’t Sing Records (2025)

Few bands have as fitting a name as The Slow Death. They play forlorn, self-deprecating punk that’s heavily influenced by lonesome country. The music itself is more driving and punchy, but many of the lyrics would fit just well in a somber old-timey country ballad. It’s forceful music that punches inward instead of at The Man. The first song is … Read more
