I've been all over Amitié since their inception and my friendship with guitarist/vocalist Matt Morales has led to me being lucky enough to release a few things. Just a few weeks after our podcast together, I very enthusiastically present this new set of songs. The 7" will be released officially on April 1st, 2022 with the 7"s likely finishing at the plant shortly. It will be released on black vinyl via Illuminate My Heart, No Funeral, Larry Records, and Limited To One Record Shop. The band had this to say about the final product:
“Over This Bullshit” represents a major shift in our lifetime as a band. 3 songs pulled out of a batch of 10 songs, exclusively and specifically picked for this EP release.
The writing process began with the addition of our wonderful bass player Ryan Couitt. They were the missing piece to the puzzle. These songs are so much more than we could have imagined. Influences pulled from every corner of extreme music from grind, noise, Screamo, Midwest emo, powerviolence, and doom, just to name a few. Alongside the complete volatility of the instrumentation on “Over This Bullshit”, the lyrical value is that of an agitated, feral animal who can no longer bare the weight of life’s pressures. Touching upon societal pressures that create some sort of cookie cutter lifestyle that is seemingly the “ideal” way of life, the fallacies of commercial farming and the severe degradation of several species and the very planet we live on, to mind expanding substances and experiences that add clarity and depth to life. We hope you enjoy these new songs and are excited for the future of Amitié.
