You can listen to “I Think It’s Time To Leave..” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here .

The new hardcore punk EP called I Think It’s Time To Leave…, from, Already Dead, is out on digital and 7-inch vinyl today.( Friday, June 20. )

The new record comes hot on the heels of last year’s explosive Something Like a War album – which earned the band mentions and microphones everywhere from WGBH’s The Culture Show and WBUR, Boston’s NPR to New Noise, Maximum Rocknroll, and Dying Scene – and delivers Already Dead’s first-ever vinyl issue. The 7-inch release party goes down Saturday, June 28 at Koto in Lowell alongside Vauli, The McGunks, and Autumn Astronauts. 

Front and center on the new record,is a reloaded and rebooted Already Dead lineup, as founding members Dan Cummings (vocals and guitar) and Brandon Bartlett (vocals and guitars) are now rounded out by Ian Killpartrick (bass) and Forgie (drums). Cummings and Bartlett, who also split writing duties on this record, with Bartlett taking on an enhanced role in the band’s creative process, did not have to look far for the new members. In fact, they just had to look at their own teenage backyards located just outside of Boston.

“The whole band is now from the same damn small town, born and raised,” Cummings says with a laugh. “We all know each other in different ways, and are somewhat separated by age, but there is a certain camaraderie when you grew up partying in the same woods or neighborhoods. It made it really easy to be comfortable and start creating immediately.” 

I Think It’s Time To Leave… was co-produced by the band and longtime collaborator Jim Corbett, and recorded and mixed by Corbett at The Bridge Sound and Stage in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The record was mastered by Stephen Pettyjohn at Ethereal Mastering, and as for all Already Dead releases, the artwork is illustrated and designed by Mark Saffie of Saffie Design.  

The EP, packs a perfectly crafted sonic punch that you feel from the first note of the opening track , “I’ll Go Mind”, all the way through to the last note on “Nothin Wrong” On “I Think It’s Time To Leave.. “ , Already Dead , prove to be punk rock kings of the ring, with an EP, that is an absolute knockout.

Each song centers around a loose theme of getting out of somewhere – whether it be a bad relationship, a difficult situation, a person’s expectations, or simply an annoying conversation. And as usual, the brute force Already Dead deliver this theme provides enough motivation to just get up and leave with purpose and distinction.   

All the songs on this record felt cohesive, so I tried to think of something to tie them together,” says Bartlett. “Pretty quickly I Think It’s Time to Leave… popped into my mind because I equated it to making sense, in some way, for each song. Adding an ellipsis after the title leaves it open to what we’re leaving behind in each song.” 

Lead single, “Time” and “Sick Talk” are two solid songs that we were singing along to almost instantly. The standout track, on “I Think It’s Time To Leave..” , in our opinion is “Gettin By” . We love everything about this track. It is Already Dead at their absolute best.

You owe it to your music loving heart to check out “I Think It’s Time To Leave” from Already Dead. You will not be disappointed.
