The band recently dropped a video for the single "More Than a Witness," giving fans a preview of what's to come.
Guitarist Josh James shared the following:
'More Than a Witness' was a song that poured out of us, from the riffs to the lyrics it was clear that the substance of this song was something that desperately needed to come out and I'm glad it did," says James. "It's one of my favorites from the new album and truly is a reminder that we each have our own responsibility in fighting for a better way of life for all.
Vocalist Jesse Barnett added:
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. Whether we all like it or not, every day we are engaging in a collective society where what we do, or don't do, has a cause and effect on each other, and other things. While most of us have completely isolated ourselves by individualizing every aspect of our lives, it can be difficult to see why what doesn't directly affect you right now in this moment should have any significance to you at all. For me, personally, I have committed to my role of no longer just sitting back and watching our world spin out into a death spiral but rather I will do what I can when I can with what I have. No matter how futile it may seem to be to some. To me, this is what it means to be truly human. And like the late great Kris Kristofferson says: 'Try to tell the truth and stand your ground. DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.'
Keep Planting Flowers is a collection of songs that exist to spite the nihilistic narrative that plagues our minds and societies," Barnett says about the album. "One that says things are just the way that they are and that regardless of the burning rage or depthless depression that this fills us with, there is simply nothing we can do about it. I militantly reject such a joyless outlook on the one life that I get the honor of living. A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers.
To celebrate the release of the band's new album, Stick To Your Guns will perform Friday, January 10th at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA with support from The Warriors, Mugshot, Stateside and Initiate.
