The HIRS Collective announce new album We’re Still Here, featuring members of Garbage, Converge, Soul Glo and more
The HIRS Collective have announced a new album. After the release of last year’s compilation The Third 100 Songs (which actually featured 100 songs), the Philadelphia punk/grindcore outfit have announced We’re Still Here, which features a long list of guest appearances, including members of Thou, Converge, The Locust, Soul Glo, My Chemical Romance, The Body, Full of Hell, Thursday and more. It’s out March 24 via Get Better.
“We’ll never quit this collective, a version of therapy for ourselves and anyone who feels in need to scream their lungs out for one more day of living,” the band said in a statement. “We don’t think we can destroy every single negative structure, but we can dismantle them within ourselves. And if we have the chance to destroy it, let’s fucking go. But we aren’t going to be given any power from anyone else and have to take it for ourselves.”
Hear the first song they’ve shared, the intense title track, which features Shirley Manson of Garbage.
