THE MENZINGERS nutzen die COVID-Konzertpause um eine alternative Version ihres aktuellen Albums "Hello Exile" aufzunehemen. "From Exile" erscheint am 25. September auf Epitaph digital und am 13. November auf Vinyl. Unten stellt die Punkband mit "Strawberry Mansion" und "High School Friend" zwei Vorabsongs im Stream vor. Sänger und Gitarrist Greg Barnett:
“The live music industry vanished before our eyes, and just like that we were out of work like tens of millions of others. As the weeks progressed the upcoming tours got rescheduled, then rescheduled again, then effectively cancelled. There were times when it all felt fatal. There’s no guide book on how to navigate being a working musician during a global pandemic, so we were left to make it up as we went along. We wanted to document and create in the moment, and though we couldn’t be in the same room together due to social distancing lockdowns, we got creative.”
