Emo punk/hardcore outfit Shoreline have released their brand new album ‘To Figure Out,’ via Pure Noise Records. To celebrate the release the band have released a new video and single for ‘Darius.’
The track shows a fast, aggressive but yet innovative hardcore track, making it the heaviest Shoreline song to date. ‘Darius’ is a reflection on what being a “professional” band means and how the relationship between artist and their art is shifting throughout time.
Speaking about the new single the band said: “I remember when we started the band all we wanted to do was play live for the sake of playing. Making music for the sake of music. It was very weird and delusional to experience how the music industry works and how people treat you based on numbers and the success you have. Now that we’ve been doing this for a couple of years I notice how I start thinking the same way. A show is not sold out? then it’s not good. We only sold x records on that day? Should do better next time.. ‘Darius’ is my reminder to value the experiences we get to share with the band and appreciate what we were allowed to do. It is named after a good friend that we spent playing so many “bad” DIY Europe tours in our early 20s and looking back it was the greatest time.”
