SOJA drops New Song off Upcoming Album
DC-natives SOJA have premiered their latest track “Shadow” on USA Today. The song is off the band’s fifth full-length album Amid The Noise And Haste on August 12th, 2014 and the band’s second album for ATO Records.
Lead guitarist and vocalist Trevor Young explains that the idea behind "Shadow" is that “everyone has their own voice and opinion that matters. Everyone has a voice and something to contribute to the situation around you for good. This is an uplifting anthem. ‘I stand up and I stand tall. I don't follow anyone. I'm not a shadow.’"
You can pre-order Amid The Noise And Haste now via the band's website as well as iTunes and instantly download "Shadow" as well as “Your Song” and "I Believe (feat. Michael Franti and Nahko).
Amid The Noise And Haste was produced by multiple GRAMMY award winning Jamaican producer Supa Dups (Bruno Mars, Eminem, Rihanna, John Legend) and is the first full-length album he has chosen to take on in his career. The new album is the follow up to critically acclaimed Strength To Survive which debuted in the Billboard Top 40. Amid The Noise And Haste features special guests including Michael Franti, Damian Marley, and Collie Buddz.
The new album cover art was designed by the British artist Steven Wilson and was carved by original wood pieces. SOJA originally formed by a group of friends while still in middle school and has built a massive, dedicated fan base around the world since. In the years following, SOJA has sold more than 250,000 albums, headlined shows in over 20 countries around the world, generated over 3.3 million Facebook fans, and 183 million YouTube views. The band has toured with Dave Matthews Band, Incubus, 311 and appeared at major festivals including Bonnaroo where they attract an almost Grateful Dead-like international fan base along the way, with caravans of diehards following them from city to city.
SOJA's Soulshine summer tour kicked off in California and continues in amphitheaters across the country through August. See below for the full routing with Michael Franti & Spearhead, Brett Dennen and Trevor Hall.
