Lowrev releases "It’s Hard To Lie To Strangers" [Indie/Pop]

Legendary independent New York-based rock label Equal Vision Records and LOWREV are excited to announce the Friday, June 26 release of "It’s Hard To Lie To Strangers", the debut album from singer-songwriter Josh Fiedler of The Juliana Theory, the Western Pennsylvania post-emo outfit he's been a founding member of for close to 30 years. An exercise in surveying a land Fiedler’s never been in and smelling the roses planted on it, "It’s Hard To Lie To Strangers" finds the veteran musician front-and-center of the proceedings with no sidebar steering committee to consider.

Recorded in his basement studio at his home in Greensburg, PA, the album’s 12 tracks are quite the departure from Fiedler’s lyrical guitar attributes. He played and tracked all the vocals, guitars, keyboards and drum programming, calling in his old friend Justin Niedzwecki to bring more percussive oomph at certain junctures. Now LOWREV’s’ sonic introspection does manifest in unusual ways — it’s not like the album is tattling as if Fiedler is somehow held captive creatively within the framework of The Juliana Theory, and it’s certainly not a reinvention.

With the announcement comes the release of the album’s new single, “Where You Going?”, a song that captures the mindset of vigilante justice, imagining doing what needs to be done to predators that our criminal justice system fails to do
