Orange County, CA hardcore quintet Stick To Your Guns have just rolled out a visualizer for their song “More Than A Witness“. It’s the fourth track to see a release thus far from the band’s eighth studio album, “Keep Planting Flowers“. SharpTone Records currently have a January 10th release date slated for that. Guitarist Josh James weighed in on this latest taste of the record:
“‘More Than A Witness‘ was a song that poured out of us, from the riffs to the lyrics it was clear that the substance of this song was something that desperately needed to come out and I’m glad it did. It’s one of my favorites from the new album and truly is a reminder that we each have our own responsibility in fighting for a better way of life for all.”
Vocalist/guitarist Jesse Barnett added:
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. Whether we all like it or not, every day we are engaging in a collective society where what we do, or don’t do, has a cause and effect on each other, and other things. While most of us have completely isolated ourselves by individualizing every aspect of our lives, it can be difficult to see why what doesn’t directly affect you right now in this moment should have any significance to you at all.
For me, personally, I have committed to my role of no longer just sitting back and watching our world spin out into a death spiral but rather I will do what I can when I can with what I have. No matter how futile it may seem to be to some. To me, this is what it means to be truly human. And like the late great Kris Kristofferson says: ‘Try to tell the truth and stand your ground. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.'”
A record release show for “Just Keep Planting Flowers” has been booked for January 10th at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. The Warriors, Mugshot, Stateside and Initiate will be opening that show. Stick To Your Guns will also be out as support to Paleface Swiss on an early 2025 North American tour that will also feature Nasty.
