South Dakota heavy-hitters Earth Groans have announced their new EP, The Body, set to release September 3 via Solid State Records. The band also dropped a new self-produced single, “Drink,” a slab of gnarly noise that exercises zero patience by going straight for the jugular.
Vocalist Jeremy Schaeffer has this to say about the band’s upcoming release:
“We all just endured a trying season, and I think I can speak for most everyone when I say the main thing we missed over COVID was community. Yes, missing movies and going out for dinner was a bummer but we were isolated from our family, friends, churches, social, and music communities. It’s a fresh breath of air to return to our communities, our ‘bodies.’ I think we all realized just how much we need each other over the last year-and-a-half. I’m so thankful this season is coming to a close — a life turned bitter will be made sweet again.”
The Body is now available for pre-order, and you can catch Earth Groans on the road this fall with special guests, In Search of Solace.
