Beloved hardcore punk group Modern Life Is War will deliver their first studio album in 12 years this fall.
Revealed today, Life on the Moon will be released on September 5 via Deathwish Inc. / Iodine Recordings. The first single from the record titled "Johnny Gone" can be heard here. Vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton said this about the new song:
“A subvertisement. A joke? A Riddle. I feel so obsolete when it comes to all this and honestly it's about time. I am constantly thinking of quitting. Johnny (not John Paul Eich, nor John Lyndon nor John Lennon) has been called an aimless folk zero. Accused of riding around in cars and printing revolutionary newspapers and going broke. He has ideas that burn him awake at night, he cannot hold a job. He is erotically moved by economic threats in white envelopes from government agencies. From East Palestine Ohio to Tehran Iran. A song to settle the score and use the platform for something worth it, for once and for the first time, try to have fun with it. Like a neurotic flash of lightning. A ball of fire in the night sky from a chattery missile sent to shatter peacetime. Starring Mickey Mouse, Mahsa Amini, Jinx, Jane and the Queen of California.”
Pre-orders for Life on the Moon can be made here. This October, Modern Life Is War will be part of the Common Thread Tour in the U.K. and Europe. Tour dates and tickets can be found here.
