Paint It Black release Famine on Revelation Records

Vital, urgent, vulnerable, fast, honest, concise - these are all words that capture Famine, the new release from Paint It Black out today on Revelation Records. Marking their first new body of music in ten years, the lauded Philadelphia band craft incisive statements that meld hardcore’s fury with a nuanced lyrical perspective. Themes navigate the narrative between myth and the truth, rebuking against religious fundamentalism, constitutional originalism, and the very concept of policing. The eight tracks burst with powerful unrest, vocalist Daniel Yemin feverishly delivers every word as bassist Andy Nelson, guitarist Josh Agran, and drummer Jared Shavelson sway between groove-driven melodies and pummeling resound. Famine was recorded with Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA (Deafheaven, Gouge Away).

Famine can be streamed HERE and limited copies of a second vinyl pressing are available through Revelation Records.

Paint It Black will celebrate the release with two hometown shows at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA this weekend. Support for the sold-out 11/4 show comes from with support from Pegboy, Radiator Hospital, and The HIRS Collective and 11/5 is The Messthetics, Spaced, Raskol, tickets on sale here.
