Modern Life Is War‘s new single “Jackie Oh No” has made its way online, emerging as the second new song to meet a release from the band’s long-awaited new album “Life On The Moon“. Deathwish Inc. will be issuing that record on September 05th, with it being the Iowan hardcore punk band’s first in over a dozen years. Vocalist Jeff Eaton stated of this track:
“The instrumental was delivered to me and appeared as a ballad covered in cobwebs and I tried to write it and sing it just the same, as if I lacked no experience in that realm and as if it is exactly what everyone wanted from me. ‘Jackie Oh No‘ is a song about an obsessive love that is as dangerous as it is powerful. Assassination folklore from the badlands to the boundary waters to the book repository, an anthem for those who have gone too far and know it and those willing to pay the price with their very lives.”
The group will be touring this fall, celebrating this new record and the 20th anniversary of their sophomore album, “Witness“.
