NEWS: a-tota-so drop their masks?

Vocalist and guitarist Marty Toner: “Masks is about the pressures of having to pretend everything is okay, even when you’re struggling inside and what it’s like to carry those feelings while trying to hide them from the people around you. It’s a song for anyone who has ever put on a brave face while dealing with their own battles. It’s a song of two halves so be sure to stick around for the heavy ending.”

“We’re really excited to release this album and let you all hear the new music we’ve been working on as we enter the next chapter of this silly little band. I really enjoyed taking on the vocal duties this time round and it’s been really exciting figuring out my own voice for the first time since my teenage years in early bands. Lyrically its a pretty miserable album at times dealing with anxiety, depression and the state of the world we’re living in but there is definitely a message of hope conveyed in there that things can and will get better if we just stay strong. Hopefully people will enjoy the direction we’ve headed and find something in here to enjoy without us completely abandoning our roots altogether theres still plenty going on in there for the die hards”
