L.S. Dunes - Past Lives (November 11, 2022) Album

New band featuring the following members:

Vocals - Anthony Green (Circa Survive, Saosin, The Sound of Animals Fighting)
Guitar - Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance, Leathermouth) & Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria)
Bass - Tim Payne (Thursday)
Drums - Tucker Rule (Thursday)

Unshackled from the expectations and aesthetics of their already successful careers, L.S. DUNES super-charge their heavy anthems on Past Lives with punk energy into a sound unlike anything that has come before it. From the gripping, theatrical opener “2022,” and the crunchy, frenetic earworm “Like Forever,” to the pummeling, expansive “Permanent Rebellion,” and the disarming album closer, “Sleep Cult,” Past Lives is an electrifying and emotional ride.

Past Lives was produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Circa Survive, Quicksand) and recorded at his Studio 4 Recording in Philadelphia, PA. Going deep on issues of fearlessness, dependency, nonconformity, and impermanence, writing for the album was a collaborative effort.

After the shock of the pandemic shutdown, the close friends and mutual admirers urgently realized that ‘tomorrow’ is not promised. “We never knew if we would ever get to play these songs together, in fact none of us lifelong musicians really knew if we’d ever be able to play music for a live audience ever again,” Iero recounted. “Permanent Rebellion” is about taking back what is rightfully yours.” Rule added, “We wanted to do something where you can hear all our bands in it and yet, not have it sound like any one in particular. Our roots are punk rock and hardcore, and the vibe is hope for all the lost souls.”

The seeds of L.S. DUNES were planted during rehearsals for Thursday’s Christmas livestream event in 2020 which included friends and acquaintances from some of their favorite bands. The chemistry at the serendipitous, impromptu jam sessions was instantaneous. With the addition of Circa Survive’s vocalist Anthony Green, it was organically clear, this time, the music formed the band.

L.S. DUNES ‘PAST LIVES’ LP (Limited Edition – Only 500 Made, Purple & Black Swirl Vinyl)

 

very cool

 

Stever and Tucker on a project together letttts goooool

 

Such an exciting lineup

 

Lot of my favorites altogether, here for it

 

Let's go

 

Very excited for this, and stoked I'll get to see their first performance (at least I'm pretty sure it's their first). Hope there will be at least a second song out by then but regardless, should be very cool

 

I didn't love Anthony's other LP from this year nor the Circa EPs. Haven't heard the single yet but that lineup alone as me pretty excited.

 

Oh wait it just hit me, this must be why he took 2022 off of his album? I mean I gotta assume that's a reworked version of that song, and he did say he would tell us more about why soon.

Edit: I see this was discussed in the AG thread already but still

 

hype

 

This was going to be my post but I can't do it straight after you so this'll have to do instead.

 

its like this line up was tailor made for my exact taste in music

 

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

 

Are you kidding me with this track?! This album’s gonna fucking rock.

 

Oh this is fucking GREAT

 

Sounds perfect

 

wow

 

I need this in my life

 

Hoping this hits at midnight EST

 

The single definitely is

 

Well that fucking rips. AG vocals are mixed perfect

 

the intro reminds me of give 'em hell, kid.

 

Holy jeebus this is amazing. I feel unworthy of so many top tier Anthony Green involved music coming out this year. Maybe this project will give the itch to Tim, Tucker and the rest of Thursday in a room writing together again. But if for the near future we only get this and No Devotion I'm satisfied with that too.

Noticed the intro is basically "Lights and Sounds" but with bass instead of guitar.

 

Two full band pics on their Spotify, don't know how to post them in here
