Social Animals has announced their limited-edition 7" vinyl Best Years - due out March 20thth via Rise Records. The record features previously released singles "Bad Things" and "Best Years," and forthcoming single "Get Over It" which is set for release on March 6th. You can pre-order the Best Years 7" HERE.
"Bad Things," "Best Years," and "Get Over It" share the common thread of THE STRAIN of separation. Whether it be distance or mindset, these songs are an examination into the long-term effects of prolonged disconnection and the ways we deal with loneliness. - Dedric Clark
Ahead of their North American tour with Beach Slang and The Aquadolls this Spring, Social Animals has also announced a three-week UK and European tour supporting Ash that kicks off this month in France on the 21st and wraps in London on March 27th - all confirmed dates can be found below.
Shortly after announcing their signing to Rise Records in November and releasing their label debut "Bad Things" - which CLASH called "intoxicating" while featuring it as their Track Of The Day - Social Animals HIT THE ROAD as direct support to label-mates Angels & Airwaves. Last month, the band released follow-up single "Best Years" - along with a stunning music video - to glowing coverage from Billboard, Dork, Upset Magazine, The Current and more. In this short amount of time the band's nostalgic-yet-refreshing sonic landscape has also yielded airplay from SiriusXM's Alt Nation and triple j in Australia, setting the tone for what's to come throughout the rest of the year.
Social Animals' limited edition 7" featuring "Bad Things," "Best Years," and "Get Over It" is out March 20th via Rise Records and available for pre-order HERE. Catch the band touring throughout the UK and Europe with Ash, or in the US this Spring with Beach Slang and The Aquadolls.
