Cold World, the brand new studio album from Canadian punk veterans The Flatliners is here.

This album is the sound of a band free to make what they want with the people they want to make it with, to try to carve out some space to demonstrate a different way of doing things — a space where bands share credit equally, where friends grow and work together over decades, a space where stability is the reward for sticking to your vision.

While 2022's New Ruin was preoccupied with the inherited damages of the last generation, the forthcoming Cold World from The Flatliners sees that legacy for what it is — a ghost, a fading memory. If New Ruin was about the rage of realization, now we're damned with the aftermath of clarity. Welcome to the future.
