Beloved pop-punk band The Starting Line have delivered their first new piece of music in nine years.

“Sense of Humor,” which can be heard here, stems from The Starting Line’s first studio album in 18 years titled Eternal Youth. The 11-track album will be released on September 26 via the band’s Lineage Recordings. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.

The Starting Line vocalist Ken Vasoli said this about the record:

“Spending a quarter of a century with all our original members and spanning an 18 year gap between the most recent albums is not easy. There is an often unspoken trust and love for the result of us making music together all this time. We couldn't have survived a life in the music industry without a proper sense of humor. This song reminds us what absurdities we've been faced with in life, and focuses on the original spirit of influences that brought us together in the first place. We are doing our best to tap into what feels timeless about music and boil our approach down to the essentials. We're continuously honing and improving which is exhilarating when thinking of the future of this band. It feels like we make a great team.”

The Starting Line will embark on their first headlining tour in 17 years with support from Finch, Knuckle Puck, Real Friends, and more. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
