Today, the band is also thrilled to announce that it will perform its Alternative Top 10 single "Over my head" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s Outdoor Stage on Tuesday, March 19th. Fans can attend the taping by entering HERE!
Judah & the Lion have released another new track from the forthcoming Pep Talks, "Why Did You Run?" - out today and available via your preferred listening service.
"The first verse is about me getting a call from my mom when she was in jail but I didn't know
what to do or say. And, of course, right after I called my dad but he didn't answer and it felt like a
very lonely moment. It was like, 'Oh, I'm in the world alone.' I imagined how hard it'd be to be a
13-year-old kid dealing with a divorce, because here I am, a 25-year-old, and it just rocked me."
-Judah Akers on "Why Did You Run?"
The album, which includes the previously released single "Over my head," "Quarter-Life Crisis," "Pep Talks," and last week's critically-acclaimed "pictures (feat. Kacey Musgraves)," also includes assists from former touring mate Jon Bellion and Darren King (ex-Mutemath). Full tracklisting and art below. Fans can pre-order the album starting today via https://JATL.lnk.to/peptalks.
