Brooklyn indie-punk band Sadlands have signed to Wiretap Records.
The band will deliver their debut album Try To Have A Little Fun later this year on the record label. The album was recorded with Matt Schimelfenig (Gladie) at The Bunk in the Pennsylvania Poconos with mastering done by Ian Farmer (Modern Baseball) at The Metal Shop in Philadelphia. The first single titled “Twin Flame” can be heard here. Vocalist Sam Campanile said this about the new song:
“This song is about the struggles of self-doubt, uncertainty, and a search for meaning. I felt inspired after watching a documentary about a cult that uses the promise of ‘finding your twin flame’ to draw followers in. The lyrics tell a fictional story about a person turning to spirituality as an attempt to find a sense of belonging. This person meets their alleged ‘soulmate’ yet has a moment of realization, and consequently pushes them away as an act of self-preservation. It’s intended to be a cautionary tale, explaining how easy it is to fall prey to others when there’s a strong desire for love and a sense of purpose.”
Later this month, Sadlands will have shows in Salem and Brooklyn. Tour dates can be seen below.
