The Bites announce debut album ‘Squeeze’

THE BITES have announced their debut album!

Titled Squeeze, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based hard rock band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Earache Records.

Speaking about the upcoming debut album, frontman Jordan Tyler says, “putting this record, Squeeze, together, I really wanted to create something timeless. The stigma of ‘rock is dead’ has been so blown out of proportion. All the music we grew up with from the rock legends of the 60s, 70s and 80s, we’ve heard over and over again to the point where it’s become a part of us. We want to give fans something special with Squeeze, when you hear this album in full, for the first time, hopefully it’ll give you the excitement and joy of albums that you’ve been listening to for decades. It’s gonna get in your bones, baby!”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Do Me A Favor.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Tyler says, “Do Me A Favor was the first tune we started for what would become the full-length album, Squeeze. The opening riff transitioned into this electrifying driving blues tune and from there it was: ‘How do we keep making this bigger and badder?’ Once you’ve journeyed through all three of the guitar solos, you get to know THE BITES pretty damn well. Putting the music video together for Do Me A Favor was just THE BITES doing what THE BITES do best: playing some good old fashioned rock and roll. Our videographer and longtime friend of the band, Sean Behr, did a killer job encapsulating the spirit of the band.”
