Live reveal new EP title - "Local 717" Options

[Bremang]

Who's really expecting this EP to drop in two weeks? Other than one radio interview has anyone in the band mentioned a release date?

SJN reported October 12th so I have no doubt it will be here in 3 weeks and 2 days. I put his reputation on the line for it

I get you. I’m really skeptical about anything they say until I see something concrete. If it’s the 12th, promotion about it should be starting up really quick. I do, however, expect it for sure by the November Australia gig. Once again, the Aussie fans will make out like bandits. They’re going to see new music performed.

I hope the song leaked on Instagram makes the EP.

I think the EP could come out with very little fanfare. EP’s generally do.

Well that, plus there’s just about zero fanfare surrounding the band at this point...

Sounds like the album is coming out October 12 and the new single this Friday according to Facebook.

Cool. There’s some concrete promotion.

Looking forward to Friday!

Yes! As aspected.

The cover is a bit... not anything wrong with it... but something generic as a mic and a guitar in your logo... dunno. Ah well for an EP cover it’s fine I guess and I like all the throwback to where they came from lately a lot. And by that, Radiant Sea wasn’t really a classic cover either, with the title written Word Art 95 style (sorry Hoodstock).
Please make the real album cover epic please!

What about two songs to promote a five songs release? (four originals). That’s quite much. I won’t complain tho. Bring it on!!

The more I look at it, the more I like the artwork. The play on the fire department logo is pretty cool... instead of ladder & hydrant, mic and guitar. It could make for some really cool t-shirts and other merch (if they go that far with it), don’t you think? I’m hopeful “Be A Giver Man” is the song from Instagram. Then I won’t be too upset about purchasing 2 of the 5 songs prior to my purchase of the EP.

Are we sure Love Lounge is on the EP? It’s interesting how they say Be a Giver, Man is the “first” single

[LiveForNow]

We'll probably get to hear the new single on Thursday as an exclusive release on some site.

More reason to look forward to the weekend.

I'm expecting it's on there, but if not I'd be curious why. Maybe it didn't fit but they still liked it enough to launch the tour with it?

(Edit: duplicate info removed, because I can't read more than two posts up apparently. )

We have the date but did they say the year the ep is coming out?

that would be funny if it wasn't in the realm of possibility for this band.

I do like that it seems they took into account the lack of enthusiasm for Love Lounge and went with the Instagram song as a single instead...?? I really liked the vibe of that clip.

Ah I didn't know that! That makes it less cheesy And yes I think Ed said they posted some kind of clip of “Be A Giver Man” before. Don't think he said Instagram but I'm quite sure that's it.
He also said it's their favorite song ... ever. Also: ‘It’s just a really fun song, super upbeat, and we’re saying to turn it around in this selfish culture we’re living in and be a giver, not a consumer and a taker. And that dominates our culture right now. So it’s a big statement in a fun little rock song, which I always try to do anyway.’
