Release Date

The Flatliners, acclaimed Juno-nominated Canadian punk veterans, are set to release their brand new studio album, 'Cold World', on May 8 via Equal Vision Records and Dine Alone Records. This album follows their 2022 release, 'New Ruin', which dealt with the inherited damages of the last generation. In contrast, 'Cold World' reflects on the aftermath of clarity, presenting a haunting legacy that feels like a ghostly memory. The lead single, 'Good, You?', is a sharp critique of toxic masculinity, delivered with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. The band aims to evoke nostalgia with a music video that pays homage to the iconic style of the '90s, showcasing their artistic evolution and commitment to their roots. The Flatliners have been making music together for nearly 24 years, and 'Cold World' represents their journey of stability and collaboration. The album features a mix of urgent punk energy and intricate guitar work, with tracks like 'Inner Peace' and 'Burn' showcasing their dynamic sound. The band emphasizes the importance of friendship and shared vision in their creative process, striving to carve out a space where they can experiment and grow together. As they prepare for a series of North American and European appearances, The Flatliners invite listeners to join them in navigating the complexities of a 'cold world'.
