Fresh off a triumphant Memorial Day Weekend set at the Punk Rock Museum during Punk Rock Bowling, So Cal punk heroes Chaser are unveiling ‘Stay Gold,’ the next single off their upcoming, long-awaited new album ‘Small Victories,’ out on June 28 via SBAM Records (EU), Thousand Islands Records (North America), and Pee Records (Australia).
The mid-tempo, ballad-style rock/punk track, pays tribute to the passing of the band’s good friend Curtis Gold, and will appear on the upcoming 13-track album, which was produced by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Pennywise, Alkaline Trio) marking their first release in 3 years.
Of the new single, the band says: “With a heavy heart, ‘Stay Gold’ is a tribute to the sudden passing of one of our best friends, Curtis Gold. His personality was larger than life and he truly had a heart of gold. We hope that this song will be a reminder for listeners to cherish their loved ones, and live every day to its fullest, as Curt did. The musical interlude features voice recordings and video clips taken from his phone shortly before his passing. We hope to honor Curt’s memory and memorialize him in a song that will live on forever. Your heart of gold will never fade. We love you, Curt.”
