August Burns Red have released a new video of the band covering "Linoleum," originally by NOFX. The new recording features guest vocals by Shane Told of Silverstein, inspired in part by the two bands touring together.

Like many recent special releases, this video and recording was put together as the various artists were in self-isolation at their respective homes.

"ABR covered 'Linoleum' by NOFX on a 7" we did in 2009," says guitarist JB Brubaker. "We busted it out on tour periodically over the years. This past summer, while touring with Silverstein, we played it semi-regularly with Shane Told handling the vocals. While we were all stuck at home in isolation, we thought it would be fun to put together a quarantine version of 'Linoleum' that featured Shane. We each recorded our own parts at home and our sound engineer Chris Pollock mixed the audio together. Then, we had our touring photographer, Ray Duker, edit all the videos together. This was a fun project for us to put together, and we hope you enjoy it."

August Burns Red last released Guardians (Fearless Records).

Rescue
Hopeless (2011)

They say if it ain't broke, don't fix it but I wish someone hadn't told Silverstein that. Rescue is the definition of a generic post hardcore album, which at this point in their career is a little disappointing. Though old fans will feel right at home with Rescue, those looking for more of the progress we heard on A Shipwreck in the Sand … Read more
