LIMBS have announced a new EP!

Titled Coma Year, the upcoming EP from the American post-hardcore band follows on from 2020’s Only The Lonely Know EP, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via UNFD.

“I have absolutely poured myself out into this EP, lyrically,” says singer Austin McAuley about the emotional depths he explores on the new material. “It’s been a form of therapy for me to write these songs and get things off my chest. I lost my father in 2015, and as much as I’ve been doing my best to get by over the years, as soon as the pandemic hit, it felt like I was reliving all of those feelings all over again and losing everything important to me. It amplified those feelings I’d tried to bury.”

Guitarist Jordan Hunter adds, “even if these stories are not their experience in a literal sense, I think listeners will connect to the total honesty and vulnerability we’ve put on the table. These are the insecurities and traumas we face on a day-to-day basis, and we’ve learned that the only way you ever overcome something is by bringing it to the forefront and tackling it. And that’s exactly what these lyrics do.”

“I just want them to know that you’re never truly alone,” McAuley closes. “If you’re struggling with anything, if the words in this song hit you in a specific way, talk to me, reach out to your loved ones. I want this EP to be a siren or a beacon for people to hear and realize that they’re not the only one in a dark place.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, LIMBS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; the title track Coma Year.
