Weatherstate announce debut album ‘Born a Cynic’

WEATHERSTATE have announced their debut album!

Titled Born A Cynic, the debut album from the Bristol-based punk rockers is scheduled to be released in May this year.

The upcoming album was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Neil Kennedy & Daly George at The Ranch Production House. “We smashed out the initial recordings in 10 days during which i didn’t leave the studio for the entire time,” says guitarist Callan Milward. “It was freezing there and we were pretty pushed to get the whole record done. I remember suffering from some kind of sleep paralysis where I was tracking more rhythm guitars for the songs on the record in my sleep. This happened on a few of the nights. Sharing a room with a band mate for 10 days can sometimes be challenging,” he continues. “I remember Harry essentially made his bunk bed into a literal bin which enticed a few rodents in during the night. I guess it just comes with recording an album in an old barn? Pretty sure a rat died in one of the walls of the Black Lodge too during this session.

Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a new music video for new single Brain Dead. Speaking about the track, vocalist and guitarist Harry Hoskins says, “Brain Dead is a song about disconnecting your feelings from yourself and your surroundings but enjoying every minute of it. This was one of the first jams we wrote for the record and the breakdown stuck out as something new for us. It was cool to throw a bit of a spanner in the works.”

Born A Cynic is set for release on May 10th via Failure By Design Records and Wiretap Records (North America).
