Californian quartet Hail The Sun have shaared their new single and video for ‘Misfire’. The song is taken from the band’s new album, which has also just been released.
Speaking about the track vocalist and drummer Donovan Melero states, “‘Misfire’ is about feeling so detached from everyone that even while going through the motions of normal behaviors, it feels like you’re watching yourself as an outsider. We often try to validate ourselves in ways we think are necessary.”
‘Misfire’ follows previous singles ‘Made Your Mark’, ‘Domino’ and ‘Parasitic Cleanse’, giving a taste of the expansive and genre-defying sounds found across the new album ‘New Age Filth’. ‘New Age Filth’ released 16th April via Rude Records (UK/EU) Equal Vision (NA).
When the band entered the studio to record what would become ‘New Age Filth’, they knew they were setting out to make their most collaborative and diverse album yet. The band spent a month living in an apartment attached to producer Kris Crummett’s studio which provided a much different experience from the creation of prior albums.
The ten songs on ‘New Age Filth’ showcase the band’s post-hardcore roots blended with elements of alternative and progressive rock, proving the band’s ability to be extremely technical in instrumentation while also unleashing some of the catchiest hooks they’ve ever created.

The lyrics, penned by Melero, centre around the theme of reflection, weaving through painful and emotional experiences of love, cynicism, and touching on how awful humans can be to one another.
