As It Is release new song ‘Dial Tones X’
AS IT IS have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Dial Tones X, is a brand new reworking of the 2015 classic and marks the first new music from the Transatlantic pop-punk/emo band since their return from hiatus and 2022’s I Went To Hell And Back. The new reworked version of the song features a guest appearance from Lucas Woodland of HOLDING ABSENCE.
Speaking about the reworked song, the band shares, “this band has always been about growth and progression, about never doing the same thing twice. As our discography evolved, many people were surprised the band that once made Dial Tones also made The Great Depression – so, this is Dial Tones by the band that made The Great Depression.
When we first released Dial Tones in January 2015, we were but a baby band; we’d played a handful of small tours and we could’ve never expected that song to gift us the trajectory that it did. The idea that people would care about this band 10 years later was nothing but a pipe dream, but here we are.”

Continuing to speak about the involvement of Lucas Woodland of HOLDING ABSENCE, the band says, “we’ve always been a big fan of collaboration; it’s something the pop and hip-hop worlds have always embraced much more than the alternative scene, so as well as re-recording the track from the ground up we were keen to add a feature from a special guest as well. We knew immediately that we wanted Lucas Woodland on this song, so we sent one text and it was locked in!
We took HOLDING ABSENCE on tour in 2018, before they even had an album out and have remained friends ever since. To see them take off and have the career they do now three albums later has been a joy to watch, and Lucas has one of the best voices in the scene, hands down. Thank you so much to Lucas for being a part of this anniversary edition, lending us his powerhouse of a voice, and taking this song to another level. And to everyone who has listened to this song for the past ten years, who has maybe even grown up with it – this update is for you.”
“I’m so honoured to be part of this new version of Dial Tones by AS IT IS,” adds Woodland, “a band that means so much to me. They took us out on one of the most important tours of our career and we’ve loved them ever since. They’ve always looked out for us, and I’m incredibly grateful we had the chance to collaborate on this track. I think our fans are really going to love this one!”
