Song Premiere: Circa Survive, ‘Sharp Practice’
Click to listen to Circa Survive‘s ‘Sharp Practice’
Circa Survive are doing things a bit differently by releasing their fourth album, Violent Waves, on their own this August. The band’s new single “Sharp Practice” – premiering exclusively on RollingStone.com – packs a slinky guitar progression that grooves in and out behind frontman Anthony Green’s howling vocals.
“It was one of the first songs we wrote for the record that was upbeat and more rocking,” Green told Rolling Stone. “I remember sending it out to the rest of the band after putting the vocals on it and being so stoked on their responses. When we were recording it in the studio all the screams and shouts got added and it made the whole song so much more powerful. It’s up there as one of my favorite Circa songs.”
Violent Waves is set for an August 28th release and will be available on the band’s website. Circa Surive will also kick off a North American trek with O’brother, Balance and Composure and Touche Amore on September 13th in New Haven, Connecticut. A full schedule is listed below:
