Telltale announce new EP ‘Lie Your Way Out’
TELLTALE have announced a new EP!
Titled Lie Your Way Out, the upcoming EP from the Richmond, Virginia-based pop-punk band is their brand new studio effort and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Rude Records.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, the band says, “this record is our viewpoint on being a part of the apocalyptic generation. We obsess over zombie films, live in fear of the daily news, and constantly foresee the end of the world. Or rather, the world as we know it. A generation written off as lazy and self-centred, we’re taught to think that something broken can’t be fixed from within. Movies I grew up on, like The Hunger Games, taught us that to make change, you have to topple this big establishment. But the most simple and effective tool we have is embracing our individuality. We’re taught that the arts are inviable and that society’s rules are firm. But maybe we were taught wrong. Pick up that guitar, drive cross-country to California, write a song about the environment, go for broke. Real life is messy.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new song from the upcoming record; the title track Lie Your Way Out. The new song is the fourth single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from the releases of COBAIN, Out Of Control! and Slowburn.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist John Carteret says, “Lie Your Way Out seems to be this pervasive mentality when it comes to mental health. As someone who struggles with Bipolar Disorder, it’s often difficult to be open and honest about my headspace. As a result, you end up lying to your family, your friends, even yourself. It becomes easier to just exit a conversation rather than explain why you’re staring through that person on the other side. Put on a face, go to work, be a ‘functional’ member of society. Most of us lie every day.”
