CNTS announce new album ‘Thoughts & Prayers’
CNTS have announced a new album!
Titled Thoughts & Prayers, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based punk band is the follow-up to 2019’s Cunts, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Ipecac Recordings.
Following a devastating car accident in which frontman Matt Cronk lost his vocal cord – couldn’t speak, let alone sing – the band thought they might have to call it a day. Then against the predictions of his doctors, Cronk’s injured vocal cord began to heal and within two months his voice returned, as did CNTS.
“We got together and ran through a song and it sounded good. We kept playing and my voice held up, sounded cool, and we all felt good playing together. It was clear immediately that we could do it again, that we’d really missed playing together and we wanted to do it,” says Cronk. “Personally, the experience was a significant marker in my recovery. I got a little teary after that first song.”
Guitarist Michael Crain adds, “I really wanted to have SONGS on this record. Hooks. Choruses. Shit I listen to. In all times of confusion or indecision during the making of this album we’d stop and ask ourselves… What would AC/DC do?”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Smart Mouth.
