Earthside Let The Truth Speak

For a band that has only released one album and a handful of new singles over the better part of a decade, the Earthside name has garnered a near cult-like association with quality. 8 long years removed from their critically show-stopping entrance - A Dream in Static [2015] - the idealistic thinkers and feelers in Earthside found themselves in a different world entirely... or, perhaps, a world more honest and unhinged than they and many others had bargained for. "It isn't that things are really different now." drummer Ben Shanbrom says. "It's that the veil has been pulled back and we're able to see that the narratives we've grown up with are riddled with holes. The people we've celebrated have glaring flaws and the binary sides we've identified with since grade school-when push came to shove-didn't stand for what they spoke of. This album almost destroyed our lives and friendships," adds keyboardist and co-orchestrator Frank Sacramone confides. "It's insanity, but it is beautiful."
