The Cold Stares announce new album ‘The Southern’

THE COLD STARES have announced a new album!

Titled The Southern, the upcoming album from the American blues rock band is the follow-up to 2023’s Voices, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Mascot Records.

“When it came time to record this album, I thought about everybody giving us this Southern rock tag, and decided to intentionally write songs that explore that,” says vocalist/guitarist Chris Tapp. “In doing so, I realized that being Southern, for me, is more than an accent, and a setlist of songs. It’s about family and tradition.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE COLD STARES have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Coming Home. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Horse To Water, which was released back in March.

Speaking about the new song, Tapp says, “perhaps our most rootsy song to date, I wrote this song after a trip back to my hometown in Kentucky. Touring the world and seeing so many countries has made me realize how unique the place I grew up was, and this song is just about getting back to our roots and where we came from.”
