New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Liverpool emo newcomers DECAY are streaming their latest single 'New Again' in full today ahead of the release of their debut EP Modern Conversation on 5th July 2019 via Fox Records.

Alongside the new single, the band are pleased to announce details of a special EP release show in their hometown of Liverpool at Sound Basement on 20th July 2019. Tickets are on sale now.

Their hometown of Liverpool is something that's close to their hearts, and a solid grounding in the vibrant local music scene has shaped them into the musicians they are today, as frontman Danny Reposar explains: "Being surrounded by incredibly talented bands like Loathe, Antihero and Bitter Youth pushed us to try and make this record the biggest and best thing to come out of the Liverpool scene to date. Having so many talented friends is always a huge inspiration for us as a band."

A poignant note of hope on a record that often deals with heavy themes, Reposar goes on to say of latest single 'New Again': "This is a complete re-record of the first single we put out with Fox Records—we felt the production of the original really didn't do the song justice."

"'New Again' is technically a love song," he continues, "however, it's not about a person—it's more about the feeling of finding someone new after going through a lot of heartbreak and bitterness. The line 'you planted flowers in my skin' is a nod at learning to trust someone and starting to 'grow' again. At its simplest level it's a song about personal growth and learning to trust others around me."

DECAY have so far released two singles from the forthcoming EP—'Slow Decline' and 'Lullaby'—to a host of early support from underground alternative press and radio including Amazing Radio, Midlands Metalheads, The National Student, Dead Press, Soundsphere Mag, Alt Corner, Pure Grain Audio, Uber Rock, Maximum Volume, The Punk Site, and more. The track was also added to official Spotify playlists New Punk Tracks and The Scene.

Modern Conversation is released 6th July 2019 via Fox Records

More about DECAY:
Decay is a new project from the members of former pop punk outfit Pine, which sees the band striding confidently away from their early sound and branching out into a more delicately-blended melodic strain of aggressive emo.

The record's title, Modern Conversation, resonates with the references to alcoholism that litter the EP, and was taken from an art history lecture that Reposar attended. "It was the title of a section about an intricate painting of people fighting each other and generally acting aggressively," he explains. The design would often be displayed within a communal wine jug, the idea being that after drinking the wine the picture would be displayed at the bottom, reflecting the drinker's current state. "This resonated with me heavily at the time of writing the record," says Reposar, "as I've been surrounded by alcoholism for most of my life."

The band may be sonically reminiscent of early US scene heavyweights Basement and Title Fight, but they're also unmistakably British. With many of Reposar's lyrics sprouting organically from an interest in searching for the etymology and definition of interesting words that he discovers, the themes on the record are as such unrestrained and wide-ranging. "We've never had any set themes that we write about specifically," he admits. "It's always a case of whatever comes to mind at the time of writing. I feel like that way we don't give ourselves any restrictions about what we can and can't write about."

With ambitions to propel themselves not just beyond their home city, but across the pond to the US where they really hope to make a mark in the long term, Decay might be taking their first tentative steps on a journey that may take them where many before them have gone—from the port of Liverpool, to the land of the free.
