As It Is announce new self-titled album

AS IT IS have announced a brand new album!

The transatlantic pop-rock quartet will release their self-titled fifth album, As It Is, on July 17th via FLG. The record marks the band’s first body of work as a quartet in eight years and serves as the follow-up to 2022’s I WENT TO HELL AND BACK.

To celebrate the announcement, the band have released a brand new single, Ruin My Life, featuring a guest appearance from Murray Macleod of THE XCERTS. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Lose Your Way & Find Yourself, which was released back in October last year.

Speaking about the track, frontman Patty Walters shares, “we’re so excited to share with the world Ruin My Life, a reckless love song about the band and all we’ve been through together. It’s a celebration of getting back together and a nod to all the mistakes we made along the way. We’re not the only band to have made amazing memories and catastrophic choices in equal measure, but we couldn’t tell the story of our band by omitting either. Without our unbreakable friendship, we wouldn’t have survived, and this song is about the love that got us to the other side of the darkness. We wrote this song with Murray from THE XCERTS, so it only felt right to have him with us in the studio and his voice on the recording. We wouldn’t have this song, truly one of our all-time favourites, without him.”
