The Dangerous Summer have released their highly anticipated new LP ‘Coming Home’ today via Rude Records. Stream or purchase the album HERE.
‘Coming Home’ ushers in a new era for The Dangerous Summer. They’ve shaken the snow globe a bit, adding longtime touring guitarist Withenshaw (ex-Every Avenue) as an official member alongside Zawacki, as well. They recorded with Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria, Emarosa), a protégé of producer Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Yellowcard, The Used), who worked on a large swath of the band’s catalogue.
“We named the album ‘Coming Home’ because it’s about coming back to ourselves,” says vocalist and bassist AJ Perdomo. “A full rock band vibe centred around driving guitars and emotionally heart-wrenching lyrics. It felt like a full-circle moment. It was the first time the four of us got in a room, lived in the studio for almost two months, and dug deep with sleepless nights and everything to get it done. We put everything we had into this record, and we are ready to share it with the world.”
The band previously released the singles and music videos for “Sideways”, “All I Ever Wanted Was A Chance To Know Myself”, “Someday”, and “Coming Home” all of which can be found on the new album.
Stream and purchase the album via Rude Records HERE.
A special vinyl variant is also available through Banquet Records. On 18th October, the band will perform and meet fans at an in-store at Banquet Records in Kingston. Fans who purchase the album or pre-order through Banquet guarantee access to the event. Learn more HERE.
