After some teasing and a few live performances of it, Knocked Loose is now streaming their new single "Blinding Faith" alongside the announcement of a new record You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To due out May 10.
"It was just hilarious how many people showed up to church that I knew were rude, horrible, selfish people," said Knocked Loose guitarist Isaac Hale of the single, whose lyrics draw on attending church with his mother in his younger years. "They knew that it made them seem like a better person — or if they said the words, it would redeem them of any negative quality just because they showed face."
The title of the record comes from an experience that frontman Bryan Garris, who suffers from what he calls a "borderline phobia of flying," had during a particularly bad flight. Garris spoke to the woman next to him, who simply told him "You won't go before you're supposed to."
"On this album, we go the fastest we've ever gone; we go the scariest we've ever gone. We also go the catchiest and the most melodic that we've ever gone, and that's the point," added Hale. "Instead of branching off into a specific direction, we want to encompass ALL directions."
You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To is available for pre-order here. The record includes guest spots from Poppy on the song "Suffocate", as well as Chris Motionless of Motionless In White on the song "Slaughterhouse 2".
