New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Multi-platinum band HOOBASTANK have released PUSH PULL (via Napalm Records) marking the band's sixth studio album and their first in six years. PUSH PULL is available on physical CD, LP and everywhere digitally now. The 11-song collection features the first single "More Beautiful," the title track "Push Pull" and a brand-new cover version of
Tears for Fears' classic pop hit "Head Over Heels," out now.
"Being kids of the 80's and 90's, we all have such fond memories of the music we grew up listening to," explains HOOBASTANK lead singer DOUG ROBB. "Tears for Fears' are a great band whose pop songwriting we admire and "
Head Over Heels" is one of our favorites of the era. We got to relive and recapture those nostalgic feelings and we hope it does the original justice."
For the new album, the three-time GRAMMY-nominated group partnered with producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Deftones, Maroon 5, Andy Grammer) exploring both rock and pop songwriting with a renewed vigor. As a result, PUSH PULL delivers a large-scale, muscular, alternative rock sound combining the best of what brought them here and establishing their presence in the current pop-rock spectrum. Additional album highlights include "
True Believer" and "Buzzkill (Before You Say Goodbye)" which show the band maturing from adolescent to adult relationships and examining the difficulty of keeping alive what fuels them. "We Don't Need the World" and "There Will Never Be Another" explore the memories which bind two people together. Additionally, DOUG's lyrics to the headphones-worthy "Fallen Star" were inspired by a memory of watching a military family of a soldier who died in combat, while the go-for-broke "Just Let Go (Who Cares if We Fall)," sums up HOOBASTANK's current attitude.
Expect HOOBASTANK--DOUG ROBB (Lead vocals/rhythm guitar), DAN ESTRIN Lead guitar/keyboards), CHRIS HESSE (Drums/percussion/backing vocals), JESSE CHARLAND (bassist/keyboardist/backing vocals)--to launch a worldwide tour soon.
