Hardcore quintet STICK TO YOUR GUNS — Jesse Barnett [vocals], Andrew Rose [bass], Adam Galindo [drums], Chris Rawson [guitar], and Josh James [guitar] — will release their ferocious new album Keep Planting Flowers on January 10 via new label SharpTone Records. Pre-orders for the album are now live here.

The So Cal band previously shared the video for the single “Severed Forever,” a massively energetic anthem with soaring melodic choruses and a monster breakdown. Watch it here. The song is now available on DSPs, as well.

Stick To Your Guns have also announced a record release show set for Friday, January 10, 2025, with special guests The Warriors, Mugshot, Stateside, and Initiate at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time.

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.”

Regarding the single and video, Barnett continues, “In an industry where there is only one true artist for every 250 entrepreneurs, this song is a dedication to the ‘artists and musicians’ who are nothing more than lackeys or the errand boys of their keepers. I have severed myself completely from the superficial competitive market mentality of ‘fuck thy neighbor’ to one that aligns more with the yearning of my spirit. I’m not going to pretend lines haven’t been drawn. I chose my side and I have found purpose in who and what I fight for.”

Besides the record release party in January, STYG will spend the next several months on the road. The band is touring with Bane this fall. Then, they head to Europe in January and February with Bodysnatcher, Elwood Stray, and No Cure. They will hit North American with Paleface Swiss in the spring of next year.  Tour dates and graphics are below.

Stick To Your Guns hold a mirror up to society’s ills without blurring its ugliness. In an attempt to unapologetically trumpet real change, the Southern California quintet never shies away from speaking or screaming unpopular truths from the purest place. Founded in 2003, Stick To Your Guns have always written and performed with a sense of urgency, their socially conscious message hitting as hard as their signature hybrid of hardcore, punk, and metal. Over the course of their career, they’ve amassed over 50 million total streams, performed on six continents, and shared stages with the likes of Parkway Drive, Architects, and Every Time I Die. Most recently, Alternative Press praised 2017’s True View as “the result of a long time spent on self-reflection and realization.” The band’s relentless pursuit of a better world and their critique of societal injustices continues to drive their music and message. In 2024, Stick To Your Guns signed with SharpTone Records, marking a new chapter in their storied career. This partnership promises to bring their potent blend of activism and music to an even broader audience, amplifying their call for change and social justice.
