EXPIRE return with their third full-length, With Regret, due out September 23rd. A little heavier and just as fierce as ever, the Midwest Blood champions cruise across sub-two-minute juggernauts purging their feelings on damaged relationships and introspective exorcisms. With Regret is the first Expire album recorded outside of their mainstay studio, Howl Street, having traveled up to Chicago’s Bricktop Studios with Andy Nelson. The new environment takes them out of their comfort zone and results in subtle new twists to the band’s sound, which bounces with a caustic, fraught anxiety, more memorable riffs, and focused vocals that retain all their previous bile and despair.
Expire, who formed back in 2009, have released two highly-acclaimed full-lengths (Pendulum Swings, 2012 and Pretty Low, 2014) and a handful of EPs (Grim Rhythm in 2010, Suffer The Cycle in 2011 and Sink With Me in 2012), and most recently released their Old Songs compilation earlier this year. They’ve toured the globe countless times over in their seven-year career, and in support ofWith Regret they’ll canvas North America with Stick To Your Guns, Stray From The Path, and Knocked Loose. Tour dates can be found below, along with track listing and cover art for With Regret.
